Andy's back, and he's mad as hell, to prove this he records into a camera. Yasmine never left, but she's mad as hell too, to prove it she yells at LG. Russell is a foreigner so what he's up to doesn't matter. This week we cover Googlers Uniting, which as it turns out isn't a football team. Android Wear 2.0 is almost upon us and someone has smuggled a Google Home into a country that it doesn't belong in...who could it be?! Hey Google, imagine this!

Andy taps out and is replaced by someone with the coolest name in the world. Allo Allo, Yasmine ranks you below Duo. Russell struggles to write show notes on Australia Day. Has he been drinking? Who is the guest host? Does she have more electrons than protons or the other way around? Can we finally put this Samsung battery drama behind us? How did Google fare with their 2016 I/O announcements? All this and more on the highest rated show EVER in the history of the Internet. PERIOD.

Russell fixes the Internet. Yasmine uses the power of machine learning to find a banana. Andy dreams of ham. That's right buckeroo's! It's CES, CES, CES and more CES. And just for something different a smattering of CES and a story that's not about CES. We make you wait until the end for that though. We're mean like that.

It's the final episode of 2016 in a week devoid of any news whatsoever. So what do your intrepid hosts get up to? We'll leave that as a mystery best unwrapped by you, the listener. Though let's get real for a moment: you should probably be with your annoying family and or friends right now. As annoying as they are, there probably is some once in a lifetime opportunities to be had interacting with those crazy peeps. If that doesn't sound like you, then the next 42 minutes should provide some sweet relief :) This episode of Material is sponsored by: Linode: High performance SSD Linux servers for all of your infrastructure needs.
