📻 In this Helical Brew Intermission, the crew dives deep into the chaos of modern tech, from Disney’s Pear computers to Tesla-vandal-proof bumper stickers, and the Gen Z slang your pilot probably shouldn’t use.
We talk cloud storage obsession, overpriced iPhones, obscure headphone specs, and whether Apple and Sony could’ve been soulmates if not for one keynote burn.
🔹 Why Disney uses pears instead of apples 🍐
🔹 Did Steve Jobs ghost Sony… forever?
🔹 Tesla sticker wars & the fear of street-parking
🔹 How Gen Z slang confused an entire generation
🔹 Cloud addiction, iPhone inflation & why a 5-year-old trashed Android
🔹 The underrated power of scotch, Macs, and memes
💥 It’s a viral chaos cocktail of culture, gadgets, and generational shade.
