About this Episode

Chris tries to convince Brent to take a buddies trip, we try to get the audience a discount chicken deal, and Ell’s trying to get out of a locked server room.

Plus we dig into the WhatsApp spyware, prove that robots will replace podcasters, and call a higher power for some help because no problem is too small, too big, or too weird.

  • WhatsApp vulnerability exploited to infect phones with Israeli spyware | Ars Technica — Exploits worked by calling either a vulnerable iPhone or Android device using the WhatsApp calling function.

  • We Talked to a Witch Who Casts Viruses Out of Computers With Magic — To excise such entities out of a machine, she uses a variety of techniques—she might place stones on top of the computer, clear the dark energy by setting an intention with her mind, or cleanse the area around the computer by burning sage. The time it takes to clear these viruses depends on the nefariousness of the entity, she says: sometimes it takes just an hour, other times it can take up to four.
  • Reverend Joey Talley — "When nasty viruses infect the computers of folks up in Northern California, Reverend Joey Talley is on it. “No problem is too small, too big, or too weird” is Talley’s motto. Sure, she can do a love spell, but she’d rather face off with ghosts and demons.."
