  <itunes:subtitle>This week, Brian and Angelo discuss Amazon's Rekognition project, Alexa recording your every word, how you need to reboot your router, the demise of the Essential phone, Bitcoin ruins everything, and how the math men have overtaken the mad men when it comes to advertising. Shifting over to the paranormal, after Angelo talks about seeing Infinity War, your hosts skew the discussion towards cryptids. Namely, the non-alien octopus, the Loch Ness Monster and her DNA, and finally, the Dogman.</itunes:subtitle>
