Skittles replaces apple flavor with lime flavor after 8 years - Do all Skittles taste the same? - If Aaron Rodgers comes to the Steelers, the Strip District ‘Mister Rodgers Neighborhood' shirts would be INCREDIBLE - Our buddy Jim Lokay at Fox5 in Washington DC rips news coverage of the annual ‘kids are getting weed candy at Halloween' stories - BTS doing a few shows in LA - Zac Brown cancels Star Lake show because…COVID - Skittles have different FLAVORS but TASTE the same, if that makes any sense - We read Skittles Facebook comments - Mikey might have Asian crazy/jumping worms in his backyard
Big Cat from Barstool Sports let one slip when describing Lamar Jackson's abrupt exit in Buffalo Saturday night ... and we could feel more honored. Jim Lokay, evening anchor at FOX 5 in Washington DC, on what it has been like navigating our Nation's capitol in the past few weeks. Plus, the GodFather of Pittsburgh Sports Stan Savran celebrates forty-five years in the business.
As we near the end of 2017 we take the opportunity to fill the couch – both IRL and online – with some familiar faces. It’s a full house indeed with Jim Lokay, Will Rutherford, Mike Pound, Cynthia Closkey, John Carman, Bobby Cherry, Brian Crawford, and Krause. But, we’ve still got our usual faces with Sorg and Chilla, and a very special visit from our Patreon supporter, Michael Fedor. We’re starting the top of the show with everyone’s Awesome Thing of the Year items. Chilla’s Awesome Thing of the Year is his Apple AirPods. Brian’s Awesome Thing of the Year is NOT the tech items he recently purchased – but the sweet bag he got to carry it all! Krause’s Awesome Thing of the Year is his Google Pixel 2XL. Will’s Awesome Thing of the Year is a “really interesting idea.” He’s interested in TXT.FYI – a stripped down blog. Lokay’s Awesome Thing of the Year is HQ – the quiz app. Cynthia’s AirPods are her Awesome Thing for Life. As her Awesome Thing of the Year, she’s going with 17776. Mike Pound’s Awesome Thing of the Year is Amazon Echo. Patreoner Michael Fedor’s Awesome Thing of the Year is Patreon’s redo of their fee structure. Bobby is sharing his Awesome Thing of the Year – his Google Home. John Carman’s Awesome Thing of the Year is Google’s Pixel Buds. Sorg’s Awesome Thing of the Year is the realization of handheld internet through his AT&T Wireless plan. We’re running through our 2017 predictions from last year – and whether or not they actually came true. And, then we turn to predictions for 2018!(With a shout out to Rob Johnston and the Vine 2 launch!) Lokay: Vine2 is going to be a failure. Will Rutherford: Net neutrality is going to get pushed through and it’s going to be a kerfluffle. ISPs are going to do what ISPs do, but customers are going to drop like flies. They’re going to lose so much business that they’re going to roll things back and it will all be for naught. Mike Pound: Digital side of journalism is going to continue to build in 2018. Cynthia Closkey: Continued escalation of Google/Apple/Amazon streaming war. Apple TV available for sale on Amazon again. Michael Fedor: Disney will have one major purchase in the next year. (Jokingly introduced with: Living under the United States of Disney. Disney will pay down national debt and come in on some sort of crisis.) John Carman: We’re going to see the first Amazon Key burglary. Bobby Cherry: Elon Musk is going to have some breakthrough next year – through one of his companies. Chilla: We’re going to see another huge dropoff on PC technology. Brian Crawford: We’re going to start turning into cyborgs with our wearable tech and implant devices. We’re also going to see regulations regarding drones. Krause: AR is going to be a much bigger deal than even VR is now. Sorg: Podcasting is going to be de-emphasized in 2018. After the show remember to: Eat at Slice on Broadway (@Pgh_Slice) if you are in the Pittsburgh area! It is Awesome!

This week Tony, Gary and Rob welcome Tony's Fox 5 colleague JIM LOKAY, host of the new, off-beat political show "The Final Five". In addition to being a great newsman, Jim is a very funny guy; he even does celebrity impressions! In this episode, Tony pits Jim and Gary against each other in a hysterical game of "70's TV Trivia"! Also: Gary's dog Joe is NOT happy with him; PROOF that Tony was once one of D.C.'s "Top Bachelors"; and GREAT new music from a listener! NOTE: Check out Jim Lokay on "The Final Five" weeknights at 11:30pm on Fox 5. You can ALSO see him weeknights at 5pm on the "News at 5", and at 6:30pm on "5 at 6:30"!
Pittsburgh -> Boston -> DC. Jim Lokay's path brought him to the nation's capital about a year ago, but it didn't take him long to be part of our family. After you listen to this episode of 'I Still Have a Keycard,' you'll understand why. As Jim has told our FOX 5 viewers on air before, his dad suffered a major stroke four years ago-- and his family was forever changed. He's shared his story publicly in hopes of helping someone else-- and on the podcast, he tells host Sarah Fraser what it was like from the moment he learned what had happened to his dad. He also recalls the words he said to his father when he wasn't sure what would come next (trust us, you're gonna need the tissues for this). Oh, and he also dishes about his love for (read: obsession with appearing on) 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' AND why his cougars (the women, not the animals) are his biggest fans. Give it a listen!
This week on AwesomeCast 283, we're talking about awesome things in technology, including: NewsOn is giving you access to local networks.

We are joined by our very own Burgher in Beantown, Jim Lokay this week. The show kicks off with a touching story about a man, and his iPad's journey throughout the Northeast.

While we're on the topic of customer service and data usages, we segue into discussions of AT&T and Verizon reworking their "grandfathered" data plans.
