029: Zagland's Best - The Life and Death of the Fiddlehead Focus

033: Live Christ Más - A Zagways Holiday Special (w/ Maria and Ross)

It's Christmastime and the Zag Boys, freshly reunited after Jesse's podternity leave, meet in person for the very first time, along with some special guests, to freebase holiday cheer.  After an eggnog-fuelled AI Or Cool Guy, we play "...Of All Time" and talk about our favorite—and least favorite—Christmas movies and songs.  Then we bask in the glow of our favorite holiday memories, almost all of which involve video game consoles.  All the while, Jesse shares a Bagman's bounty of thoughtful gifts.  All of this, and much more, on an action-packed holiday special for the ages!

Ted joins Phil for a zag-heavy episode, ping-ponging wildly between sports betting, computer setups, virtual reality, a New York Times bestselling AI or Cool Guy, clip shows, making love in autonomous vehicles, online communities, zoom call fails, and the wild excesses of working at a hot tech company during the Zero Interest Rate Era.
