    #72: A Google Home In Every Home (Except Andy's)

    November 10th, 2016 · 49 minutes

    This episode comes to you from a far happier time, before ELECTION.EXE deleted our hard drives. Yasmine has a new friend at home. Andy wants a friend too, but his pre-order joy turns to ashes. Russell is at least content that Google shipped him something...though he's clearly been trumped by Yasmine.

    If that's not enough, we play a game with a robot...WHO WINS? WHO DIES? THE RESULT WILL SHOCK YOU*

    *no really it will, don't stick things in powerpoints kids.
