Geeking After Dark

Technology, startups, city life, musings, and random brain burps from some geeks chatting with each other. News items frequently make appearances as well.

"So long and thanks for all the fish" 09/23/2025

"So long and thanks for all the fish" It's been quite a trip. "So long and thanks for all the fish" /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/38328685

Agent Donny FBI Snitch 09/09/2025

Agent Donny FBI Snitch Bart and Norma discuss Florida being Floriduh, Epstein victims speaking out, autism has an OFFICIAL SINGLE CAUSE thanks to RFK Jr, and Howard Stern isn't leaving Sirius. Yet. Also, Trump was an FBI SNITCH, NOT A KIDDIE DIDDLER! Well, that implies he was a diddler, but was caught and turned snitch to get off the hook...regardless, the White House officials are insisting they don't know what the hell the idiot Speaker is talking about, so Johnson said he didn't know what he was talking about. The real reason is Mike Johnson wanted MAGA to have something to use as an excuse, but he won't acknowledge that. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/38146620

Oh Dear School Is Here 08/26/2025

Oh Dear School Is Here Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss school...well, public school...words as weapons, data centers in PA revisited, Texas wants a theocracy (yay Handmaid's Tale!), Cracker Barrel pretend Conservative whining, and Pamela Anderson apparently likes pickles? You can buy some and help a wildlife sanctuary! /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37968200

MAGA is Slow to Learn 08/19/2025

MAGA is Slow to Learn Bart and Norma discuss some feedback and what little news there is this week. My highlight is an article about the morons who actually thought Russia was a nice place to live until they criticized their lives there...big mistake, dumbass. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37880585

Dean Cain as Homelander? 08/12/2025

Dean Cain as Homelander? Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss zoo donations, nukes on the moon, Dean Caine now starring as real-life Homelander?, the iPad as a laptop replacement, and that's about it, so...mainly crappy people who happen to be actors of fondly remembered characters? /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37780905

Friendship Goals and Leopards Eating Faces 08/05/2025

Friendship Goals and Leopards Eating Faces Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss Disney, a new Star Trek story about Khan featuring Tuvok and Sulu, a Tennessee school district doesn't like the optics of teachers asking for supplies the school won't get for them, American Eagle is courting the MAGA Nazi crowd with their latest ad about superior genes, and a reminder that leaded gas was poisoning people for half a century because some companies loved their profit more than not killing customers...also, voting has consequences, you're experiencing them, please stop complaining about getting what you wanted. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37687730

Was It Quiet? 07/29/2025

Was It Quiet? Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss what few headlines have passed our way this week, which mostly was fallout of pissing off Stephen Colbert and the South Park gang, and Hulk Hogan died, countering the idea that terrible horrible people live longer. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37597570

Trump and Epstein...Really? 07/22/2025

Bart and Norma discuss her recent surgery to explain her speaking issues, Superman is too "woke" (what the hell does that even mean?!), a Christian camp washes away after being built in a flood-prone area that lacks flood warning equipment in an area so Republikan they refused to used Biden-sourced funds to upgrade warning systems, Epstein not only had no "files" but he didn't even exist let alone kill himself! /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37506175

Red GOP, Blue Dems,...White MAGA? 07/08/2025

Red GOP, Blue Dems,...White MAGA? Bart and Norma discuss some general chatter, but there's some focus on idiots. I suppose many of our topics are about idiots, so we'll narrow this one down to having a "political" party that sooner believes in magic weather machines murdering Christian conservatives instead of climate change being ignored. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37337880

Battle for LA 07/01/2025

Battle for LA Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss rice, rich people wedding problems, farming, and streaming show schedules. General discussion. It's somewhat quiet compared to previous episodes, but still some WTF-ery from people that hate poor people because they're poor. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37241530

So Much Local Education Stuff 06/24/2025

So Much Local Education Stuff Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss mostly school-related issues, but there are a couple of news items. Surprisingly not centered on just Trump bombing Iran and being surprised that it didn't go the way he thought it would. Oh, and Spaceballs 2 is on the roster for upcoming movie projects! /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37136080

Parade Day Can't Beat Protest Day 06/17/2025

Parade Day Can't Beat Protest Day This one was pretty much in limited topic, moreso than usual. We focused on educational shortcomings and protest. Because that's the highlight of the weekend. Idiots, and people protesting idiots. I'm betting Trump is going to be bigly mad that his big boy birthday parade was a giant f@&king flop, and we're going to feel the brunt of his tantrum... /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/37044095

Thin Skin of Fascists 06/10/2025

Elon's K-Hole Adventures 06/03/2025

Elon's K-Hole Adventures Bart and Norma discuss pennies finally going away, people who are friendly to a fault, and Elon should not be allowed to give presentations in addition to not being interviewed. He's an idiot that spent his life failing upwards. I will choose that hill to die on...Musk is super wealthy despite his lack of intelligence. He's a white-supremacist man-child in my opinion and have yet to see any indication of his brilliance. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36838485

Privacy vs. Convenience 05/20/2025

Privacy vs. Convenience Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss cars, vacuums, and humidifiers spying on you and your home, along with the continued use of discontinued Windows and schools combined with "back in my day..." /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36649130

The Conclave Concluded 05/13/2025

The Conclave Concluded Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss floppies in airports, Trump's still bad, the conclave has concluded and Last of Us is a good show. Also, Farscape is a good show, but Norma hates it because she doesn't appreciate good shows. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36551805

Conservatives: "Let's Deport Cancer Kids" 05/06/2025

Conservatives: "Let's Deport Cancer Kids" Bart and Norma discuss pay for sportsball players vs. actual people doing work for society as a whole, Thunderbolts is released, remember Mike Lindell? He's still apparently an idiot, this time in legal circles. Well, again in legal circles. Republicans refuse to agree that it's bad to deport American children with cancer. Trump wants to be Pope. We now all live in an Onion article. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36458885

Arkansas Told "No" 04/29/2025

Arkansas Told "No" Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss JD Vance's alleged murder spree, coal isn't "clean", language models lie because artificial intelligences aren't, and life brings giggles when storms get a "red state" to beg for money they condemn others for trying to get...and are finally told "no". /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36360945

Trump Is In PERFECT HEALTH 04/15/2025

Trump Is In PERFECT HEALTH Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss Jurassic Wolves, MAGA firebugs, Elon still can't play games online, kids in school need A1 for the secret sauce of success, the White House is lying about Trump being supernaturally healthy and more anti-US travel advisory and anti-immigrant news...land of the free! /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36155965

Somewhat Almost Quiet Week 04/08/2025

Somewhat Almost Quiet Week Bart and Norma discuss tax day (a still looming dark cloud), more celebrity deaths, Trump hates his portrait which for some reason he has an odd fixation against, we mentioned in passing the Maitland Ward and Danielle Fishel "feud" (if there is one), and there were protests against President Musk and VP Trump over the weekend that seemed to go pretty well... /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/36056980

The Turd Reich Marches Forth Over COBOL 04/01/2025

The Turd Reich Marches Forth Over COBOL Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss airbags for old people, the continuing adventures of the Turd Reich, Broligarch and fake brogrammer Elon Musk and his Dogges want to rewrite the ENTIRE BACKEND OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION in a matter of months because apparently he's a slow learner, Tesla is sketchy (surprise), and Kat Abughazaleh is running for Congress...can she win? Also, our RIP our old NYC grocery cart...hello our new GROCERY WAGON! /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/35962175

DUI Hire Shares Military Plans With Reporter? 03/25/2025

DUI Hire Shares Military Plans With Reporter? Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss tax chaos, Trump's brought "competence" to the government if you have a really special definition of competence (and keeping military secrets), Snow White is somehow worth headlines, and someone decided to make a website where you can find Tesla owners and property in case you want to "support" Tesla and Musk's efforts to make America more Nazi again. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/35856510

ICE Ain't Nice 03/11/2025

ICE Ain't Nice Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss so many contemporary actors and celebrities are dying now, I guess the US now disappears people they don't like (due process is not a thing anymore?), sports are stupid and yet another week where leaving the country seems to be an attractive option... /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/35642350

Taking Bets on a Musk Interview 03/04/2025

Taking Bets on a Musk Interview Voretaq's back! He's been missing so long, the recording setup has rusted, so there's some glitches getting him recorded. But this time, Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss celebrity deaths, a new season of THE ORVILLE!? IS IT TRUE??, Musk is a terrible rat in our opinion, the fourth turning is here and you DEFINITELY shouldn't send false reports of DEI to the Department of Education... /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/35530535

Is It Time to Leave the US? 02/25/2025

Is It Time to Leave the US? Bart and Norma discuss scams and thefts, a woman dared to question a GOP town hall and was hauled out by what appears to be jackbooted fascists, Musk is a terrible father who wants to know 5 things you did at work this week and is it time to leave the country? /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/35429085

Sailing the Gulf of Stupid 02/11/2025

Sailing the Gulf of Stupid Bart and Norma discuss mostly the chaos and crazy of the current oligarchy because credit where due, Trump is actually doing things...bad things, pointless things, but he's doing things. /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/35246595

Sea of Stupid 02/04/2025

Sliding Into (Project) 2025!

A Dangerous "Educated Proletariat" 01/14/2025

A Dangerous "Educated Proletariat" Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss government-as-a-business, Reagan was a disaster in slow motion, Musk is in my opinion a man-toddler, deregulation and running government as a business are definitely not good ideas, and we have a recommended YouTube creator for you to check out! /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/34852150

A Fungus Among Us Bart, Norma and Voretaq discuss radiation and kitchen decor, drug development costs vs. subsidies from taxpayers, the kitten likes getting attention before having to go to the vet for surgery, and Tesla vehicles are remotely controlled and spy on their drivers...but don't worry, it's only used for GOOD THINGS by someone who may possibly very likely be a narcissistic man-toddler (the label is only my opinion)... /episode/index/show/geekingafterdark/id/34759270
