Very Hicken Bros.

This is the first official monthly highlights episode of the Very Hicken Bros podcast; therefore, the edited episode jumps around within the month of November 2021. I put in many topics in the episode from the Talk to You Later livestream, which we had audio recordings of; such as the following: Trevor raves about Taco Bell's Grill Cheese Burrito. (https://www.tacobell.com/food/burritos/grilled-cheese-burrito) I share my NoName Nerd Minimeal NFT, which includes the crash of my computer; then, I take that moment to discuss my affiliation with NoName Nerd. (https://followmystream.com/alexnhicken/2021/11/20/minimeals/) Since the next subject is time sensitive I made sure to say the date that we published the next segment, which was dedicated to Kyung-bo Kim also known as the Overwatch League eSport’s athlete “Alarm," which was recorded/shared on November 10th, 2021. (https://www.ginx.tv/en/overwatch/overwatch-league-pro-alarm-has-passed-away-aged-20) Trevor and Nick discuss the Blizzard's Earnings call and the delay of Overwatch 2.

(https://nairametrics.com/2021/11/19/with-1-3-billion-staked-acala-wins-the-first-polkadot-parachain-auction/ & https://parachain.nodle.com)Trevor then shares his review of the Pixel 6 Pro. We conclude with my interview with Nick Chao on his rough sketch song called Roses and Lead Paint.

Nick joins Trevor and I on this episode a first of Season 5 and more than a month for the Very Hicken Bros podcast. Kyler was offered double pay to work the night of recording the podcast, so he did not make it. I installed Windows 11 on my work laptop, and I share my first impressions.

I am so grateful for Nick Chao, joining us for this one year anniversary episode of the podcast. I did not feel that my topics were a meaningful balance to Trevor's topics. Trevor and I reviewed our experience with the new Google Pay. (https://9to5google.com/2020/11/17/new-google-pay-announcement/) The quick topics that we covered before getting into our more deep topics are the following: California's Public Utilities Commission is ready to approve autonomous taxi companies' services.(https://finance.yahoo.com/news/robotaxi-companies-now-win-approval-215822299.html) More Fast Radio Bursts are discovered.

Trevor discusses Moth's announcement to join the Gladiators. (https://www.hotspawn.com/moth-san-francisco-shock-interview/) I added this topic in because I did not realize that Trevor was going to conclude with four more topics. It is Carvey Ehren Maigue's invention of suspending the "AuREUS" material from rotten produce. (https://earther.gizmodo.com/this-dyson-award-winning-invention-can-turn-rotting-veg-1845714414) Trevor discusses the following four astrophysics topics: Shadow Beams (https://www.sciencealert.com/for-thousands-of-light-years-the-shadow-of-a-black-hole-is-stretching-across-space), Universal Warming (https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/deep-space/a34701932/why-the-universe-is-getting-hotter/), Astronomers observe a merger of two neutron stars possibly creating a magnetar.

(https://phys.org/news/2020-11-astronomers-fossil-galaxy-deep-milky.html)

This episode is a classic. We talk about developing technologies after Trevor talks about the new policies of transferring Pokemon to Pokemon Home from Pokemon Go (https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/pokemon-go-pokemon-home-live-all-trainers/), and how Playstation 4 can be an extension console to the Playstation 5 (https://www.theverge.com/2020/11/9/21556803/sony-ps5-remote-play-ps4-app-streaming-games). The developing technologies are the following: self-healing wearable technology (https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/electronic-skin-wearable-technology-b1646601.html), sound bubbles (https://apnews.com/article/new-tech-device-sound-beaming-noveto-38327ae5fe116080a5eaf2374eb0f5c8), and wind power generating solar tower (https://www.treehugger.com/using-solar-energy-create-wind-power-4853385). The astrophysics news is about fast radio burst (https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/radio-burst-fast-galaxy-milky-way-b1590956.html).

Trevor and I discuss the Whoop (https://www.androidauthority.com/whoop-strap-review-1161259/) and Playstation app (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/358749) after Trevor reviews LG K92 5G (https://9to5google.com/2020/10/29/lg-k92-5g-price-release/). Waymo releases autonomous safety score card for Phoenix fleet (https://www.autoblog.com/2020/10/30/waymo-phoenix-safety-incident-score-card-autonomous/).

Welcome to season 3 of the Very Hicken Bros. podcast. The reason that it is season three is because Trevor is going to launch a YouTube Channel. Nick Chao joins us. We discuss the following topics: Garmin's new esports smart watch (https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/forget-fitness-garmins-new-smartwatch-is-designed-for-esports-athletes-4105079), every PS5 launch game (https://www.ign.com/wikis/playstation-5/List_of_PlayStation_5_Launch_Games), Nick's latest photography adventures, Google Play Music's death (https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/10/22/google-play-music-is-now-officially-dead-dead-dead/), the October Apple Event, KleinVision's flying car (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-8888847/Futuristic-flying-AirCar-takes-skies-time.html), and a possible planet's core floats in an asteroid belt (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/hubble-space-telescope-rare-asteroid-16-psyche-worth-10000-quadrillion/). Stay tuned for the bonus episode that is hinted in the episode on the Talk to You Later Show.

This episode was a little funny because Trevor starts with three third topics, and closes with two half topics, and we have three full topics in the middle.  The three third topics are the following: Final Fantasy 16's basic development completion (https://www.gamesradar.com/final-fantasy-16-update-from-square-enix-says-it-has-completed-basic-development/), Carl Pei leaves OnePlus (https://techcrunch.com/2020/10/12/carl-pei-leaves-oneplus/), Nest Thermostat includes Soli chip (https://pocketnow.com/googles-new-nest-thermostat-has-a-soli-chip-inside-and-costs-just-130). I cover Waymo annoucement (https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-54476524) to serve the public before Tesla. (https://electrek.co/2020/10/12/tesla-release-full-self-driving-beta-customers-next-week/) Trevor discusses IBM's new contract with Overwatch. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/krisholt/2020/10/09/ibm-inks-its-first-ever-esports-deal-with-the-overwatch-league/) Mineral is another Alphabet company that I join in introducing to the world. (https://www.theverge.com/2020/10/12/21513353/alphabet-google-x-lab-moonshot-computational-agriculture-mineral-revealed) The following articles cover Trevor's astrophysics news: https://www.sciencealert.com/the-atmosphere-of-one-of-the-hottest-exoplanets-in-the-galaxy-is-full-of-metal and https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/black-hole-star-space-tidal-disruption-event-telescope-b988845.html.

Trevor and I researched some in-depth articles. I learned about the quantum internet (https://www.discovermagazine.com/technology/the-quantum-internet-will-blow-your-mind-heres-what-it-will-look-like), and Trevor dove deep into the operating systems of spacecraft. (https://arstechnica.com/features/2020/10/the-space-operating-systems-booting-up-where-no-one-has-gone-before/) 

The General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was so inspiring this past weekend that Trevor and I decided to make a new podcast, which we will be recording today. We discussed the following topics: the movie theater industry (https://theplaylist.net/studios-take-a-hit-cinemas-analyst-20201005/), Final Fantasy's Collection of SaGa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7uT3iT7BxA), Google's Project Soli (https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2020/9/30/21496318/google-soli-radar-motion-sense-rick-osterloh-pixel-5), Atari (https://decrypt.co/43744/atari-token-bitcoin-com-public-sale-november), the Nobel Physics Award (https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-54420240), Graphene (https://www.fastcompany.com/90560206/this-wonder-material-could-eliminate-dead-batteries-once-and-for-all), and black holes (https://www.sciencealert.com/monstrous-black-hole-has-trapped-six-entire-galaxies-in-its-gravitational-spider-web). Both Trevor and I had topics that we wanted to dive into, which were too long to research for this episode, so we are planning to record a bonus episode this weekend.

Nick Chao (https://www.instagram.com/nick_/) joined us to share his latest song sketch. I was planning to edit this podcast episode today, but I had two spontaneous job interviews. Trevor and I decided to publish the episode without editing because we know that our audience would like to focus on the general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints this weekend. We want to get it out early for you. We had engaging conversations with Nick Chao, and Trevor and I had the following few topics: Final Fantasy 16’s trailer wasn’t pre-rendered because Square wants you to know it’s actually coming soon (https://www.pcgamesn.com/final-fantasy-16/pre-rendered), Starlink puts towns devastated by wildfires online for disaster relief workers (https://techcrunch.com/2020/09/29/starlink-puts-towns-devastated-by-wildfires-online-for-disaster-relief-workers/), It's official: Instagram and Messenger users can now chat with each other (https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/09/30/its-official-instagram-and-messenger-users-can-now-chat-with-each-other/), and Black holes so big we don't know how they form could be hiding in the universe (https://www.livescience.com/ginormous-black-holes-could-lurk-in-universe.html).
