The Bob & Kevin Show

So, not sure if you heard, but the US government is scheduled to release all that they know about aliens this summer and the BK Show is EXCITED! So excited that we decided to talk all things aliens again this episode with new info that has been coming out.

Check out some of our research links!...

Yup, you guessed it! Just like everyone else, we are talking STONKS! Bob & Kevin take a look at what a short-squeeze is... how hedge funds traditionally work and why is everyone so upset that our friends over at Reddit just jumped into the game and CHANGED IT!

Well, how about 2021 so far, eh? We REALLY try hard not to get political, but tech is so heavily tangled in politics right now that it is SUPER hard not to talk politics. We kicked off the episode focused more on how the events of 2020, the quick jump to platforms like Zoom and more led to a further degradation of our on-line privacy protection -- as if there was much there in the first place! Then we moved on to what we both agreed, might be a legit reason to repeal Section 230 -- which...

Well, we are going to be trying some new things heading into the new year, but not really.

Okay, solve maybe a bit of a stretch, but in the era of social distancing and Covid-19 we think the word needs to take a hard look at what grocery shopping currently looks like and adopt some more digital and touchless solutions.

Hey, if y'all can...

In all seriousness, some good practical content in this episode...
