This episode begins with memory and meaning. Kris Abel reflects on his late friend, journalist Beverly Thompson, sharing a story that captures the humor and connection that defined their friendship.

From there, the focus moves to technology shaping everyday life: Walmart’s EcoATM partnership for recycling phones, Nintendo’s unexpected nod to the Virtual Boy, and the ingenuity of a fan who built a working factory entirely from LEGO. Shane Hewitt and Kris connect the emotional with the innovative in a conversation that balances tribute and tech.
