Summary
Episode 176 is here, and this is our second take at the podcast as the first effort didn’t work. Find out how everything went with dropping the largest pumpkin in New Zealand from a crane, and when you are doing this you need the best shoes you can get, that’s why Chris wears Camel Jinge when he watches pumpkins being dropped. Facebook live failed yet again when something cool was happening, but did manage to work beforehand, so let us know if Facebook live has failed you.
Kickstart or dropkick is back this week, and this time it is for a musical instrument made right here in New Zealand. The Saxmonica is it’s name, it comes the ease of playing a tin whistle with the sound of a full blown saxophone, find out how much it is going to cost and when you can get your hands on one. Chris is keen and we hear about Chris’s own music history in this episode.
We had a play with the drone Chris recently got from China, it was great fun and he now patiently waits for his 10 walkie talkies to turn up, what he is going to do with them is a bit of a mystery, but at least he will have 10 of them.
Sam’s been on a film set this weekend, helping out the short film named Blink, with filming taking part at the old Matangi dairy factory, find out how the day went. Which also included shooting off to talk to the 2018 speakers for TEDx, which Chris is coaching.
Chris gives his expert review on the film Ready Player One, and he talks about a advert and initiative from a fast food restaurant which he thought was great.
Dumb people and Facebook has reared it’s head again, find out what is being shared around this time and why it is annoying Sam.
Another week, another dumb story from America involving a gun, a school and a homeless person, what could go wrong with a mix like that?
