In today’s show, we start with a confessional rant about airlines that results in Scott’s special announcement: a boycott of economy class. We also discuss accidental sexism at Samsung; Barstool Sports CEO’s unusual interview technique; the unexpected link between microchips and office printers; how female CEOs can affect venture capital funding; and possible proof that privacy is over. All this and made up words too!

In today’s episode, we are coming to you pre-recorded live from our non-existent cottage(lake house). We talk about the scammer who “discovered” Annie Lennox; Brands trying to curtail counterfeit commerce; Amazon’s super judgmental Prime Wardrobe; the advent of brogrammers; and what it’s like when an app changes the rules in the middle of the game. All this and summertime bird calls across the lake.
