Overtired

Christina and Brett catch up on bits of pop culture as well as various cool, new things in Brett's life. Sometimes, going back to design school principles brings everything into perspective and focus. Sometimes, all you need is Swift...rotoscoped Taylor Swift.

This is the strangest, most ransom-note-like Overtired you will ever hear. We begin as usual, segue into a talk with the roommates who successfully Kickstartered a Nancy Kerrigan/Tonya Harding Museum (housed in their apartment), and devolve into comedy of profound discomfort...starring Brett.

Our first-ever guest, CNET & Tomorrow Daily's Ashley Esqueda joins Christina and Brett to talk movies and TV, from Clueless and Heathers to  Star Wars and Furious 7 to King of the Hill and RuPaul's Drag Race. This episode is..."so very". Brought to you by * Paddle: Just three lines of code makes your life as an indie app deveolper easier.

After recording a full episode that plunged too far down the wrong rabbit hole, we fire up our secret time travel tech to replace half of an episode with one recorded in the future (of the first one) and Frankenstein it together. Live Long And Prosper (LLAP) Enjoy this...peculiar episode. To do otherwise would be...illogical.

In light of recent revelations from and surrounding both Edward Snowden and Lenovo, Christina and Brett talk about information security. As a concept, is "InfoSec" for regular humans, or only the chosen few like InfoSec Taylor Swift? Then, we get existential about being black sheep and close things out talking about Birdman.

Much to our hosts' dismay, Jon Stewart announces his departure from the 20-year-old institution known as The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Kanye's still throwing tantrums. There's even enough discussion about technology to warrant this being a tech/gadget podcast. Brought to you by * File Transporter: private cloud storage that is actually private.

The shuttering of the blog that first brought Christina and Brett together  is the source of some melancholy reminiscing, right before the conversation launches into obligatory and completely uninformed conversation about sports (we didn't not talk about the SuperBowl). From there, it's anybody's game. Brought to you by * ...the writers & editors who made The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) great. Seek them out or ask Brett or Christina to point you in their direction on social media. No, we're serious. Hire them. * Yes, we bumped paying sponsors to another week. This is more important.

Single-handedly saving The Today Show from haxxorz and being "Verified" on Facebook might make you think you should have access to the Famous People Apps, but no. Christina gets regular software (tons of it) just like the rest of us. Brought to you by * Backblaze: $5 for unlimited, unthrottled backup

Brett and Christina skip CES to reminisce about Mean Girls. Taylor Swift came up, but we don't dwell on it. We're growing. From drunken, -20° snow shoveling to watching some great new movies by the fire, this is a mid-winter show that has it all. Don't they always, though? Jack of all trades, master of, well, we're pretty good at pop culture...

In the conclusion of our Overtired/Night Moves Crossover Special Event, we find reasons to use the remaining synonyms for male genitals and accidentally make this a sort-of CES Special, too. Oops.

Even more random than usual, we take a whiskey-soaked ride through journalistic integrity, TV shows you'll go to hell for watching, and why you should all get off of our Internet lawn. Also: cats.

Another rip-roaring ride through tech news (and the Sony Hack), pop culture (and a love of the shallow and empty), and the profitability of hate-filled Facebook pages.
