David blames the podcast name on the Feds, gives some fascinating (!) insights into the app that helps him get his haircut & learns he may be a lousy tipper.  In the news segment, David and Darrick question a remote work platform arbitrarily calling some of their employees back to the office. 

Darrick talks about #badIT and youth league baseball app with a pretty major design flaw.  For The Big Idea, they both talk about the greasy business of companies buying systems or technology and how they might fall for the sales person's Jedi Mind Tricks.  And the importance of IT involvement to advise on integrations, technical compatibility, and other critical areas.   

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently announced in a 77 minute long video that he is re-branding the company under the new name Meta, which is short for Metaverse - but what is that and how will it impact your life?

The Quicky speaks to a tech expert to find out more about Zuckerberg's master plan, which other companies are also planning to join the Metaverse, and how it's going to change our everyday lives in the very near future.

American Truth Project's Barry Nussbaum with Dr. Gina on America Trends discussing Debbie Wasserman Schultz’ I.T. scandal.

The American Truth Project, a non-profit (501c3) organization was launched because America’s national security is being threatened as never before. Our republic and the rights guaranteed by our constitution are facing dangerous new enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Our solution is to educate the public on the truths regarding critical security risks facing America, as well as our most strategic ally, Israel. There are few quality sources dedicated to this purpose.

Our team will investigate and reveal the factual nature and magnitude of these threats, and the best ways to address them. We, the people, have the right to know the truth. ATP is here to tell it.
