There was a lot of news on the tech front since our last show, and the Chumps are here to shoot straight about it.

We also have a brief recap of the Tour de France Femmes, and a take on a controversial moment in that race that maybe you haven't heard elsewhere.

Chad closes us out with a PSA in lieu of a factoid this week, so listen to the end for that!
