The program opens with a discussion regarding technical difficulties encountered while uploading clips to Google services. Speculation arises that a recent Gmail API release may be causing system instability or attracting hackers. The hosts transition into a recurring joke about a fictional IT person named Ben.
The 2014 Google IO conference is criticized for its focus on "slave jewelry" wearables and the introduction of a proprietary Gmail API. The hosts argue that moving away from the open IMAP standard allows Google to further lock users into its ecosystem and monetize personal data. They predict Google will eventually deprecate IMAP to force developers and users into their controlled API environment.
