This short is not just a status of the podcasts, but an update as to what is going on with me personally. My life has been turned upside down and I have to make some serious changes, quickly. I am trying to be as transparent as possible. So, I will tell you what has been going on, what I need to do, and the help you can provide.
Please listen to the full 10-minute episode and decide then. This is a call to action to help a brother out.

We are back with some of the under reported news stories from the past week, August 3 through 8. Hulu is going buh-bye (sort of), parts of the US Constitution disappeared, Digital Foundry goes independent, and more password sharing crackdowns. Not only that some sites are phishing for Facebook likes. Who does that?

Two things: (one) we are back, and (two) I apologize. The Lazy Geeks are back discussing things that are impacting our lives on a daily basis and I explain more in the episode. The apology is for being a bit long. I decided to go unscripted and this is what I get. I promise, I won’t do that again. But enjoy it, anyway.

Episode 4: The Toxic Fandom. The internet is plagued by fandom toxicity. Where does it come from? Why do older people hate new content? It isn’t as hard to believe as you may think. Also, we discuss Xbox price hikes for Christmas, Polygon sold, GTA VI pushed back, and Spotify cashes in on judgment against Apple.

This week on The Lazy Geeks:
Elon sells Twitter to… himself. Facebook is trying to offer people what it used to be. Avengers: Doomsday cast revealed. Things to do if you sent DNA to 23andMe. Lastly, a former gaming magazine is brought back by its new owner.
Our main discussion today is why we won’t have 22 episodes and 7 seasons of any streaming service, and if you want to destroy yourself – just let someone into a group chat.
