Best of November 2021, including Nick Chao's song Roses & Lead Paint

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://www.theverge.com/2021/11/2/22760118/activision-blizzard-delays-overwatch-2-and-diablo-4-again) Nick discusses Nikon and Cannon, catching up with Sony mirrorless cameras. I discuss Acala's successful crowdloan, and Nodle's crowdloan announcement. (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 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).

Trevor starts us off with a review of the animated film "A Whisker Away". We talk construction, and Trevor introduces the new development of Studio Ghibli's theme park (https://www.indiewire.com/2020/07/studio-ghibli-theme-park-fall-2020-opening-miyazaki-worlds-1234576123/). He has a lot of topics again, so I transition between them, telling my first experiences with Bitcoin and Cash App. Trevor's next topic theme is gaming and pop culture with the following topics: Pokemon's rerelease of their cereal (http://www.cerealously.net/news-pokemon-cereal-2020/); a new handheld that can play Game Boy, Game Gear, and Neo Geo Pocket cartridges (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Analogue-Pocket-The-luxury-Game-Boy-will-be-orderable-from-next-week-for-US-199-99.483800.0.html); and SEGA's CEO resigning (https://kotaku.com/kenji-matsubara-sega-president-chief-publishing-offi-1844568771). I transition to Trevor's stories about people, discussing Tesla's new gigantamax factory in Austin, Texas (https://electrek.co/2020/07/30/tesla-gigafactory-texas-crazy-potential-size-comparison/). CES 2021 goes online (https://www.digitaltrends.com/news/ces-2021-will-be-online-only/), and Trevor tells Dhirubhai Ambani of Reliance Industries' origin story (https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/celebrity/article/3095109/how-mukesh-and-anils-father-dhirubhai-ambani-started). I introduce Ubiquitous Energy of the solar energy industry before Trevor starts his phone segment (https://www.forbes.com/sites/scottsnowden/2020/07/29/solar-glass-windows/#402886c63382). Trevor talks about the Pixal 4A (https://www.cnet.com/news/google-teases-august-3-as-pixel-4a-launch-date/), LG Velvet (https://9to5google.com/2020/07/28/lg-velvet-review/), and Huawei (https://www.deccanchronicle.com/technology/in-other-news/300720/huawei-pips-samsung-as-worlds-top-smartphone-seller-despite-us-san.html). I talk augmented reality, one of my favorite topics, introducing Rokid (https://www.scmp.com/tech/gear/article/3095308/chinese-ar-start-rokid-eyes-industrial-applications-after-success). Trevor closes out as usual with his astrophysics news, discussing Perseverance's launch to Mars (https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/5dzkjn/nasa-just-successfully-launched-its-perseverance-rover-to-mars). Trevor's "Oh yeah" topic is the best space observatory location (https://bgr.com/2020/07/30/best-telescope-location-study/).
