39 The Caddies That Zig 31:07

7M ago31:07

31:07

Today we discuss Cadillac's implementation of a few 3D printed parts - sure it's just a few and it's a PR stunt, but 3D printing is all about freedom, so it's important. Marc goes off on a tangent about Caddy's renaissance in the late 90s with models like the STS, Catera, and the wild CTS-V, where they took their small sedan and plopped in a Corvet…

35 The Conversion of Justin 47:03

8M ago47:03

47:03

A Support Scam is where you get a scary message on your screen (often accompanied by loud noises) that tries to scare you. It says you have viruses and trojans and then tells you to call a phone number. If you call, people answer and CLAIM to be Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, etc. Of course DO NOT CALL THEM. The ONLY time they can hurt you is if you cal…

9M ago1:07:01

1:07:01

A Support Scam is one of The Four New Threats that I've identified. Viruses and trojans are nearly impossible anymore, because the THREAT of them is MUCH more profitable. Scammers now implant advertisements on websites with scary, emotional sentences that claim you have viruses and such. Their goal is to scare you into LETTING them break into your …

31 Foghorn Leghorn vs AT&T vs Spectrum 33:02

9M ago33:02

33:02

Tonight's Torment a Scammer episode is unique because instead of a medley of calls, I kept one scammer group on the phone for over half an hour! I'm learning not to break character too early!

29 Making Reality Great Again with Marc Winn - 1 hr special 54:44

10M ago54:44

54:44

It's a veritably flurry of brilliant ideas tonight with special guest and TEDx veteran Marc Winn. Big governments, businesses, and tech firms tower over us all.

28 Convenience vs Privacy w Bob McIntosh 47:24

10M ago47:24

47:24

Inspirational speaker and podcaster Bob McIntosh joins us tonight. He wrote a book about the concept that "awesome" or "excellent" is better than "perfect", which is unattainable. Yes we all want to put in effort and succeed, but it turns out that there IS such a thing as trying too hard. You end up getting nowhere. I've relaxed my grip on life and…

27 How Amazon Crushes Its Rivals - and Sellers - Pt 2 27:09

10M ago27:09

27:09

Today we finish up the expose on Amazon's business practices. When they set their sights on Diapers.com, Amazon decided to sell competing diapers at a huge loss. Of course consumers fell for it in droves, because if you're a parent trying to buy diapers, you'll buy the cheapest ones possible. Inevitably, Diapers.com could not compete, and Amazon co…

30:14

Today we analyze the cutthroat practices of Amazon - a pugnacious company that still views itself as a startup (think fightin'-Irish pose). This is a story about choking out competitors, and backstabbing your own sellers. If a third-party seller's product becomes remotely successful, they might accuse the seller of being a fraud, which forces them …

11M ago39:46

39:46

It's another scammer episode! This time I got a lot of calls from people claiming to be my cable company. Scammers are taking advantage of the fact that people are furious about cable/Internet rates.

19 Godzilla vs Mothra vs Cara Jean 33:22

1y ago33:22

33:22

Whenever I watch two big, bad companies slug it out like Godzilla and Mothra, all I can think of is, "They're both bad. I want both of them to lose." Such is the case on today's episode where we watch the industry's biggest and baddest duke it out. Roku's desire to wet its beak caused a feud with Spectrum, and Facebook's desire to monitor EVERY THI…

It's another Torment a Scammer episode!! Tonight, a "Law Enforcement Officer" by the name of "David James" calls me to inform me that my bank accounts were hacked and used to promote drug trafficking.

15 Hitting Mailboxes with Baseball Bats 35:18

1y ago35:18

35:18

Today Marc calls out and shames legal companies that in reality are diabolical scams. In one of them, a company mails you a letter asking for $125 to fill out a simple $9 government form. In another, a company asks $289 for domain hosting, which is normally $14 ... oh yeah, and they also end up controlling your website name as an added bonus. Not i…

12 It's the designers yelling at you 31:38

1y ago31:38

31:38

Today we discuss the continued decline of automotive design. First up is a Porsche that uses microphones to detect if you're driving on slick roads (okay fine) but then nags and chastises you the entire time. What dawned on me is that it's not the tech necessarily - it's the designers who are yelling at you! This is why old cars are worth more - th…
