This episode was a little wild. Trevor had a bunch of topics. News was a little weak for me. I finished my arch of Acala news last week, and all I had was my Oura Ring experience to share. The following are the topics that Trevor had: GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition's latest patch fixes 117 bugs and 'adds cloud cover' | VGC, Linux Mint 20.3 Arriving Soon with a Surprise New App, Rare Candy is Bitcoin's newest NFT platform, and CERN collider detects neutrino for the first time. I recall that Trevor's topics were hidden until the last minute, so I was unable to craft the conversation better. We discussed the delay of the James Webb Space Telescope. NASA delays launch of new James Webb Space Telescope after 'incident'. Kyler and Nick made same music. Nick has a possible five new song, pending. He is considering publishing them as a collection on a platform. Kyler explained his Twitter post about recreating the first part of 'Ric Flair Drip' in FL Studio BY EAR.

Nick Chao joins us for this Thanksgiving episode. We discuss the following topics: Verizon will begin selling Nreal's augmented reality glasses on November 30th. (https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/18/22789172/nreal-light-mixed-reality-glasses-us-launch-verizon) Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: Definitive Edition gets a patch.

(https://nairametrics.com/2021/11/19/with-1-3-billion-staked-acala-wins-the-first-polkadot-parachain-auction/) Nick discusses the Cowboy Bebop movie.

I officially announce the affiliation of the podcast and my content with NoName Nerd.

(https://www.tacobell.com/food/burritos/double-black-bean-grilled-cheese-burrito) I attempt to share my screen on the Google Meet video chat, but my computer crashed. I was trying to show my new NoName Nerd NFTs. They have to do with food. (https://www.nonamenerd.com/products/minimeals?_pos=1&_sid=e54be4c7d&_ss=r&ref=q4IkpRRtDKoGUL) I invited Trevor to get one for free from an opportunity on Twitter, since he is a chef, but he is not interested in crypto. (https://twitter.com/nerd_noname/status/1460787539187576837). Trevor and Nick discuss the Game Award Nominees while I recover from my computer from crashing. (https://thegameawards.com) I introduce NoName Nerd. (https://www.nerdsbelonghere.com) Trevor discusses the Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remake. I discuss the recent announcements of Nodle Cash, redenominating and pre-saling their currency. The November 22nd Nodle Token pre-sale is actually conducted at onboard.tokensoft.io, but the opportunity is not available for United States residence. Trevor discusses Blizzard's lack of personal integrity; however, he is happy to say that Jeff Kaplan, the producer of Overwatch, "shielded Overwatch devs from 'corporate BS.'" (https://www.dexerto.com/overwatch/overwatch-producer-reveals-jeff-kaplan-protected-devs-from-corporate-bs-1701048/) Trevor also discusses the Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto: Definitive Edition. (https://www.cnet.com/tech/gaming/rockstar-games-apologizes-for-gta-trilogy-mess-heres-what-you-should-know/) Nick sympathizes with Egypt for an infestation of scorpions. (https://gizmodo.com/hundreds-stung-as-extreme-storms-unleash-scorpion-plagu-1848057703) Lastly, Trevor concludes with one of his classic astrophysics topics: Scientists Surprised by Mysterious Barrier at the Core of our Galaxy.

This is the second episode of season five of the Very Hicken Bros. We finally have a video to share!

This is the Season 4 launch episode's livestream on Spotify's Greenroom. The recording is better than I expected. There is a little ASMR. No one joined the livestream, and Trevor was tired, so there is not much extra content in this livestream. We talk about the following topics: Vintage GBA gaming, the new Digimon card game, OFFICIAL PLUSHIES FOR GIGANTAMAX SNORLAX AND GIGANTAMAX GENGAR ANNOUNCED IN JAPAN (https://nintendosoup.com/official-plushies-for-gigantamax-snorlax-and-gigantamax-gengar-announced-in-japan/), OnePlus 9 Pro gets delisted from Geekbench for benchmark manipulation (OnePlus responds)  (https://www.techspot.com/news/90331-oneplus-9-pro-gets-delisted-geekbench-benchmark-manipulation.html), This 5G-controlled car will roll up and expect you to drive (https://www.fastcompany.com/90653650/halo-driverless-car-sharing-service), Nothing’s debut earbuds will cost $99 and feature noise cancellation (https://www.theverge.com/2021/7/6/22564819/nothing-earbuds-price-noise-cancellation-anc), Aircar Successfully Flies Intercity, Then Transforms Into Car and Drives Off (https://www.core77.com/posts/109337/Aircar-Successfully-Flies-Intercity-Then-Transforms-Into-Car-and-Drives-Off), Scientists Found a New Type of Space Explosion, 10x More Energetic Than a Supernova (https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-have-detected-a-new-type-of-explosion-in-space-a-magneto-rotational-hypernova)

Karan joins our Spotify Greenroom. Trevor and I tested Spotify Greenroom because it sends me an MP3 of the audio. The audio seems inconsistent. Season 4 will be live streamed! We talk about the following topics: Pentagon Cancels a Disputed $10 Billion Technology Contract (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/06/technology/JEDI-contract-cancelled.html), Nintendo Switch OLED: Everything We Know - GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/nintendo-switch-oled-everything-we-know/1100-6493674/), Black Mirror in Real Life: Facebook Now Owns and is Developing a City (https://hackernoon.com/tech-giants-building-cities-there-is-a-catch-2idb35x5), and more.

I also share a couple stories of my foolishness like almost losing the last episode of the Very Hicken Bros and disabling my work iPhone; furthermore, we discuss our path to season 4 with Vtubing.

Trevor shares his first impressions of the PlayStation 5. He also introduces the LG's Rollable Project B phone. (https://www.tomsguide.com/news/foldable-phones-are-so-2020-lgs-stunning-rollable-just-revealed) I consider the Oura Ring, comparing it to Whoop. Trevor ends the show in the deep sea rather than outer space. (https://phys.org/news/2020-11-ancient-squid-like-creature-paperclip-shaped-shell.html)

This episode is the first bonus episode of the Very Hicken Bros., which we dubbed an episode the the Talk to You Later Show. 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/)
