This week Brian spends some pre-show prep time playing Zelda, and then does his best to make Angelo feel bad about subscribing to Amazon Prime. The duo also ponder if Apple has become a luxury brand for rich people, the amazing storage medium of magnetic tapes, Doom 2's last secret, and taking a step back from all our distractions. When the discussion shifts to the paranormal, our hosts take a look at Luis Elizondo’s Medium article about the stigma of paranormal belief, and then take a look at the evacuation of an observatory that started off as excited and ended up being sort of boring.
