In this episode, see how Tom watched ONE flaming documentary about social media and then promptly went off grid - and why you probably should, too. Ben had a spiritual experience with Bill and Ted, and Tom's in the big leagues of pre-release reviews for the latest tech!
Thanks as always to Tony Thaxton for our theme!
