33: cccccccc
The Rick Roller is outed. And shamed. And maybe harassed just a little. Not that he's bitter and writing the show notes or anything. Yasmine is showered in burritos. Andy's secret is out. Android and piano's get together in this brave new marketing world. And you too can become an Android Developer with this one simple trick Developers don't want you to know!
Come for the Android stories, stay to the end to enjoy your own piece of Australiana courtesy of Yasmine's new found fusion accent and the countries national obsession with smuggling small birds...if you dare. No really, it's quite juicy, you should totally listen past the end theme jingle. Don't be that person who gets up before the credits are done and misses the AMAZING MOVIE ENDING. And don't you dare press that skip button, only those who listen to our entire show are allowed to hear the ending. "Ha you can't make me!" you're thinking out loud, well jokes on you, because you've read this paragraph so it's legally binding. That's right kids, you dun got lawyered. BOOM.

30: You Phone Too Hard
Russell sneakily recorded a podcast with someone else, so did Yasmine. Will Andy be next? The Chromecast is put to good use by a prankster who has unusual taste in music. Andy covers Rick Astley. Inbox becomes wInbox, play games plays games by dropping a plus and Google's secrets get thrown out on the lawn for all to see! All this and more in our SPECIAL 30th Anniversary episode. Yes, yes, we know, we are like one of those annoying couples that celebrates random milestones. Ask yourself this though: isn't true love meant fighting for?

29: Slay In Material
The episode that Skype tried hard to suppress is here. What was so controversial that CNN wouldn't play it on air? I'd say tune in and find out, but let's face it, you all know I'm lying. Speaking of which, this week we get to the bottom of a long mystery: what exactly does Yasmine say when she ends the show?
On the more boring side we talk Huawei Watch, Google Maps changes, an phone only experiment and news that has Russell falling off his chair. His CHAIR people. HIS CHAIR!

27: Pocket Casts. Buttocks. Buttocks.
It's 2016 and your hosts are back and raring to go. Before they deep dive into CES and other Google news though, there's an important question to cover: What exactly did they do over the break and what have they spent their Relay FM millions on? The answers may shock you more than this show's title ever will.
