Turning This Car Around

Lex is away so Moltz and Jon commiserate over the U.S. election results. One good note, we elected our first Somali-American legislator. And, to ease the pain, Moltz bought himself a new MacBook Pro. Maybe consider a donation to the ACLU. Our thanks to Omaha Steaks.

Who doesn't like a nice story about a girl raised by monkeys. Penny Dreadful is a good show. Not so much for the kids. The Saturday Night Live skit "Farewell, Mr. Bunting" is hysterical and also not for the kids. You'll be happy to know Moltzytasking.com redirects to Turning This Car Around.

A new movie takes a look at genital mutilation. Moltz's son might go as Jigsaw from the Saw movies on Halloween, even though he hasn't seen the movies. Lex's son is going to be Mario.

This week we talk tech and Lex tells us about his arcade game machine. You may remember Super Pac-Man as the confusing and hard-to-play Pac-Man. Sorry, Windows and Linux users, we spend a bunch of time on macOS Sierra. Lex's Instagram account includes some great shots taken with his iPhone 7 Plus in portrait mode. Lex is rewatching Gilmore Girls in preparation for the sequel. Our thanks to Sleep Number, the best sleep of your life.

Lex is away this week so Jon and Moltz discuss some iOS 10 Photos features. Jon also uses Google Photos. Moltz probably needs to upgrade his iCloud storage.

Jon heard the most recent episode of The Rebound and needs to talk some Apple stuff. And kids. The jet black iPhone 7 probably scuffs but is apparently the grippiest of the iPhones. Moltz is excited for the AirPods although they might be easy to some people to lose. Our thanks to Close5 for sponsoring this episode.

This week, it's dads and directions. Jon uses Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze, just to be on the safe side. Lex's family paid another visit to Diggerland. Lex has some praise for the Make-A-Wish organization. Taking the Tappan Zee Bridge is almost always a good idea. Almost always. Jon recalls the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon.

The Moltzes visited Hershey Park last week but not Lex or Jon. An encounter with an old iMac prompts Jon to give some backup advice.

Moltz is on a well deserved vacation and Lex joins Armstrong from the magical and storied Earwolf studio in Los Angeles. The only guest on this episode is massive amounts of guilt. Armstrong has seen the new Pete's Dragon. Lex talks about forcing his children to watch the original Pete’s Dragon (on Amazon). Pete's Dragon, 2016: BluRay + DVD + digital HD) digital version (when available). The boy who plays Pete in Pete's Dragon is Oakes Fegley, just in case you needed to know. Lex recommends This Is Where I Leave You (IMDB, Video on Amazon, Book on Amazon). Lex also recommends massive storage bins for kid art projects. Armstrong imagines they look something like this. However, Armstrong uses something more sane. Thanks to Close5 for sponsoring this week's episode. Close5 lets you buy and sell with others nearby.
