The Heir momentarily had wanted to talk about Baltimore in an upcoming episode, but he's so bummed out about what happened that he's decided against it, until sometime in the future.  That's not to say he doesn't believe people in general shouldn't talk about it, but personally he just feels kind of sensitive about it.  So instead I the Mentor suggested to him that he talk about all those mean and neurotic dogs that give him problems on the sidewalk when he goes out walking in Blands Township to people apparently he knows there.  That'll certainly elicit a response, and then he can delight in the kind of social cynicism that's dominated up to 93% of his complaints about the world.

"I want to expound upon the mean and neurotic dogs of Blands Township, and delight in my social cynicism with my complaints about the world."

The Heir's pretty sure Brooklyn's post-season hopes are dashed with this loss in Milwaukee.  The odds are against them.  The other teams vying for a playoff spot are pulling ahead real fast, so once Brooklyn loses against Chicago tomorrow, that's the end.  And then all they can hope for is a consolatory win on Wednesday.  The Heir very often finds himself celebrating when his team wins the last three games with nothing left to play for.

So on the subject of Brooklyn and Milwaukee, the Heir feels as if Brooklyn needs to do more to unsweeten Jason The Kidd's revenge on Prokorov for firing him.  Sure Jason Kidd rebuilt Milwaukee from scratch, and while you got to credit him for that, Brooklyn will only lose face even more with each loss against a Kidd-coached team.  So any currently Kidd-coached team, whether that's Milwaukee or someone else, that's the new rivalry.  The Heir was happy to see Brooklyn defeat Portland, because they *never* defeat Portland.  So Portland, check.  Sacramento, check.  The current Kidd-coached team, unfinished business.  So it'll have to be 2015-2016 that Brooklyn needs to put Jason Kidd's sense of revenge to an end, and justify his firing so long ago at this point.

The Upcoming Internet Outage In A Post-Radio Shack World.  OK, a few notes here.  As of this writing, there are still some or many Radio Shack stores (at least for now), we guess because that was that part of the liquidation that allowed for that.  Also, the weather is getting better, so that will fly in the face of the polar vortex that we had to deal with when the episode was being made.  Now with that out of the way, this episode is so named because the Heir is concerned that Radio Shack being seen as a has-been will effectively kill the engineering expertise that keeps the Internet running, so once the outage occurs we're basically screwed.  Looks like the Cigar Assistant was right after all!  This is also the episode where we take aim at affirmative consent, the belief that North Korea *did not* cause the Sony hack, and Roger Replacement once again.  Roger's lieutenant Robbie Replacement stands by the bleeding edge tech in the failed GPS unit that stranded him in Bachelor Borough.  We also discuss the tragedy at the French newspaper, and Jon Stewart leaving the Daily Show.  On audio (Play All): https://www.mixcloud.com/audiobachelor2/playlists/the-happy-bachelor-1/

Heir was at Bland Barns the other night, and he giddily came upon a price Barns had to pay for its obsession with visual. This is one of those giant TVs to pressure you to buy something you probably don't want, and apparently it  crashed earlier in the day, with the cat out of the bag and everything!  The hacker shoppers now know what computer system is being used, and can probably parse that dang hexidecimal number indicating the reason why the system crashed.  Probably ran out of memory.

Heir (offscreen): "Heh heh heh!"
