Third time’s a charm! Will and Andy are getting serious… about games. Andy doesn’t like board games because he doesn’t want to work to have fun, but he likes playing Apples to Apples in the Inverted Method. Will’s gonna guess the velocity of the unladen European Swallow with Wingspan, and build his IBM card deck.

Whooooo buddy, is this one a long time coming. Will and Andy record IRL. It takes them 22 months to post it. Sounds about right.

2017 is finally over, and Will and Andy are talking about new year resolutions for 2018. Specifically, the mechanics of them: how do you set resolutions? How do you keep track of them? How well do you keep them? That, plus lots of chatting about paperback books and “portable word processors” from the early 2000s. Plus, why is there a “.men” TLD but not a “.women”?

Today, after a long talk about video games and, er, internet coming-of-age stories, Will and Andy talk about “smart home” devices — wi-fi enabled lightbulbs, digital assistant dinguses, sentient refrigerators and fancy speakers. Andy confesses his home is completely dumb, but after the techno-apocalypse, he won’t be locked out of his home and car like Will. Warning: Andy and Will forget and say (literally) triggering words that may summon your always-listening dingus to life. Proceed with that knowledge.

Will and Andy are back! Again! And this time, they’re making a commitment to staying back for you, the listeners. Today’s episode catches you up on what’s new in their lives, personally and professionally, and what tools and workflows they’re using that have changed. Plus: they document how Millennials are, indeed, ruining literally everything. At least according to the news.
