204 – Turning Tricks at Fatty’s

Daniel opens with banter about new playing cards and practicing a small card-magic routine, joking he might “turn a few tricks” at Friday at Fatty’s. Plans for the Charleston weekend surface: dinner with Larry H. Vader (but no Fort Sumter), plus some ribbing about bow ties and superiority complexes. The chat swings into running injuries—Daniel describes taking a spill mid-run and finishing anyway—and a vow to avoid knocking out miles on a hotel treadmill.

Contact arrives with the “3, 2, 1… Contact!” sting. There are no emails, sparking a tangent about connecting Gmail to “Alice” to auto-check the inbox. Later they circle back to play a voicemail and roast the caller’s phone quality, with a side track on “Yale New Heaven.”

Adam cues The News Game: five multiple-choice headlines (Daniel answers before hearing options), followed by a rapid Disney Trivial Pursuit lightning round. Birthdays come next with the weekly celebrity-birthday guessing game, complete with Pee-wee’s Playhouse nostalgia. The Technology segment closes the show: a plain-English Web3 explainer and “.locker” domain confusion, vape pen standards (it’s 510 threads), and cast-iron basics—why the polymerized “seasoning” builds that protective “armor.”
