As Episode 17 kicks off, Jason and Chuck welcome their special guest, Brett, to the show. We begin with a casual stroll down Speed Racer alley and then discuss Brett’s affectations towards Chuck’s dog, Juno. The guys discuss Burn After Reading quickly then move into Brett’s chosen profession and the accuracy of Scrubs.
While the Heroes season premiere waits patiently on all of their DVR’s, Chuck expounds the virtues of TiVo and ponders why anybody would watch live TV anymore. Brett breaks down the Heroes Season 2 DVD as Jason breaks down the week’s and next month’s DVD releases.
Jason then steamrolls into a pro-PC rant rallying off the “Vista Salesman” post from last week. Sides are taken, boxes are tweaked and the chips fall where they may, enjoy the sparks! As Jason finishes his rant, he ends with what is probably the worst analogy ever (seriously, it’s pretty out there) but it does lead into our title.
The geek wars continue as Brett talks about Batman comics, Chuck romances Loco Roco, and Jason plays Warhammer. The show ends on a high note comparing the humanity of modern day heroes.

Listening to Jason’s comparison of Macs to PCs derail into an incoherent rant about disease-laden girls was hysterical.
And Mac users are cooler than PC users*, but I do see Jason’s point about how it’s much more difficult for Windows to create a working piece of software for a billion different hardware configurations. That’s one of the major frustrations my Windows-using programming friends have had when they’ve worked on creating applications for the App Store - they’re not used to dealing with Apple’s ultra-controlling method of production, making sure everything runs flawlessly by imparting a stringent set of rules for 3rd parties to follow.
*Except for Brett.
I’m well aware of being incredibly uncool…all I’m saying is…a brotha can dream can’t he?
In your case? No. But it’s not like I can talk.
“As Jason finishes his rant, he ends with what is probably the worst analogy ever (seriously, it’s pretty out there) but it does lead into our title.”
I would expect a Mac user to not get it. I should have used Dungeons and Dragons references for Chuck, he would have understood.
I am a Mac user, and I hate using PCs - but your argument was probably the most effective at making me feel bad for PC programmers.
I also can’t think of anyone who doesn’t enjoy a good D&D reference every now and then.
Drakoth Valentine (Val•en•teen). Yep, that was my fighter’s name. I even had a spiral-bound notebook that I drew all sort of weapons and specs like the GLaive from “Krull” and the Mind Sword from “Hawk the Slayer”.
Take that peeseeboyee!
