Summary
Welcome to 2017, with the first podcast we’ve recorded in 2017. Come on in, sit down and find out what we have been up to lately.
Not much has been happening on the #dickstone2016 front so far, although Chris is hopeful he will pass it without knowing according to a conversation he had earlier in the week.
Find out how the dog sitting went over new years for Chris, how traumatized is the dog from all the laughing Chris did? We may never know. But we do know he got confused as to what the dog toy was supposed to be looking like.
Sam went rail cruising in the new year, where you go in these little golf cart looking contraptions down a railway line, find out how that went. Sam also saw the big balloon thing which is Rotorua’s latest tourist attraction we talked about the other week, totally underwhelmed by the look of it and still doesn’t know what the benefits of it are.
It wouldn’t be a podcast if Chris didn’t mention his favourite person, Donald Trump, this time it is about his new years tweet he sent out.
We talk about smear time and what has been happening with the adjustment of time lately.
Movie making is getting better for people with smaller budgets with people working on a new motion capture suit.
Sam tried out a cheap VR headset thing where it holds your phone in front of your face, find out how that went.
There’s now a new service to save your kids teeth, and it isn’t as creepy as it sounds and could have real benefit in the future.
While 2016 was pretty bad for celebrities dying, there was a whole bunch of cool stuff that happened as well, we discuss them.
How many earthquakes did we have in 2016 here in NZ? A lot, find out the correct answer in this episode of the podcast.
We learnt about a new app that Auckland ports is using that saves time and apparently an age old way of dealing with ships that are coming into port.
Sam went and saw the movie Sing the other day, find out what he thought about it.
