&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This week’s episode brought to you by &lt;a href="http://www.sliceonbroadway.com/"&gt;Slice on Broadway&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://www.sidekickmediaservices.com/"&gt;Sidekick Media Services&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Chatting the tech news of the week including Minecraft server madness, sexy Animal Crossing, questionable Podcast and Tik Tok moves and more! with Katie Dudas, John Chichilla and Mike Sorg!&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Chilla falls further down the Minecraft rabbit hole with &lt;a href="https://foxynotail.com/mcbeplay/"&gt;Foxynotail server&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://github.com/TheRemote/MinecraftBedrockServer"&gt;Minecraft Bedrock Server&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dudders is learning about a &lt;a href="https://www.kotaku.com.au/2020/07/i-have-billions-in-the-bank-a-sex-workers-life-in-animal-crossing/"&gt;sex worker that meets fans on her Animal Crossing island&lt;/a&gt;, and she's visiting to pick up some&lt;a href="https://instagram.com/catscatalog_acnh?igshid=atwtt2qsq9l6"&gt; cool stuff. &lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sorg has been watching a LOT of HBO Max the last few weeks. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Podnar is concerned about &lt;a href="https://9to5mac.com/2020/08/11/amazon-music-podcasts/"&gt;Amazon's play into adding Podcasting to Amazon Music and Audible&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The &lt;a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2020/08/07/cia-finds-no-evidence-chinese-government-has-accessed-tiktok-data-report-says/?fbclid=IwAR1EjIt-m71oge6-xXBnYOZ8WFcriXNZmAfxeeAslzYgoybjUMLzG1xjcA0#491864f4c254"&gt;CIA weighs in on the Tik Tok "threat"&lt;/a&gt; while &lt;a href="https://www.engadget.com/instagram-reels-tiktok-rival-164624402.html?fbclid=IwAR1DxaCSAchGeeWZYj1TLF113EG0A6Y3Fblh8rUquPzwC4yihFi-rNSaAl4"&gt;Instagram keeps you safe with their Tik Tok clone, Reels&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/11/21362514/twitter-reply-limiting-features-all-users-harassment-rollout-available-now"&gt;Twitter giving users the ability to limit who can reply to their tweets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sorg is playing &lt;a href="https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/pkyxam/spiders-are-a-popular-video-game-monster-theyre-also-an-accessibility-problem"&gt;"Grounded" and read about the arachnophobia accessibility problem&lt;/a&gt; with that, and other video games. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.njpw1972.com/78391?fbclid=IwAR1eYQCxScS_GOIrHb0Ir7-t7_keT5slz9vCfg5fWEJMnrbBsTZpo1eqY6Q"&gt;New Japan Pro Wrestling has been holding fan attended events, and are rolling out an app to help keep them from cheering with their mouths&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Juggalos Gather online on &lt;a href="https://www.newsweek.com/insane-clown-posse-virtual-gathering-juggalos-organized-fans-1522755?fbclid=IwAR1tfJTBRDM2BNlWxba-BxmFw1_0GYa2UDrTvybrIuKWsFA2jMmRVdkMkHU"&gt;Roblox instead of Gathering of the Juggalos&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The Goldeneye N64 fan remake is now Spies Don't Die to that spies won't get sued. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
