Gen Z, who apparently are being referred to as “Zoomers”, have pissed off a new sector of the world - bartenders! How and why? We discuss. We also talk about how this generation seems to have been changed by the pandemic, maybe more than any other.

There was a story in the news about a dad who was being hailed a “hero” for jumping off of a 4th floor balcony of a Disney cruise to save his kid, who had fallen into the ocean. You had to read quite a ways into the story to discover that dad had placed the kid on a railing… and then the kid fell in. We discuss whether the term “hero” is applicable in this case. 

Microsoft is saying goodbye to their “blue screen of death” but will it ever really go away? The names of things are changed all the time but people still refer to them as the old name (hello Sears Tower). We also talk Mac versus PC and let’s just say, both Nicole and Dan have a strong preference. 

And finally, did you know that USPS has special CREMATION BOXES? Nicole is stunned there is a need and Dan is surprised Nicole is stunned. There is much talk of shipping costs and Dan gives everyone a website to check out the next time they need to ship anything. You have to listen to find out what site he mentions.

Thanks so much for checking us out! We will be off next Monday but will be back in the middle of July!
