Bootstrap

Did we mention that it was august when we recorded this? WAS August. Isn’t now.
Anyway, as you expect in August, the news was a little slow. But, we did talk a lot about Oculus, Zucks’s performance on JRE, and BeReal.
And Hillel’s thoughts on Andrew Tate 🤷‍♂️ (Again, slow news month...)
Shoutouts!

WE MADE IT TO EPISODE 18 X 2!
But barely... You see, we experienced yet another equipment failure. Including the backup system 🤦🤦🤦. And we lost the original Episode 36. So technically this is 36b.
Yeah- this episode is late, and the news old... But we had to post it anyway! And have no fear, a fresh episode 37 is coming very soon :)
And we mostly just talked about the original episode 36 that we lost, and tried to rekindle the magic... But what else did we talk about?

• Instagram's move back to a chronological feed https://www.theverge.com/2021/12/8/22824609/instagram-chronological-feed-adam-mosseri
• @Jack stepping down at Twitter https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/30/business/dealbook/jack-dorsey-twitter.html

First Bootstrap pod of 2022!
And we were off to a great start!
First of all, #freeItamar. Listen and you'll get it.
Second, we found out that Hillel can eat a 1.2kg steak in one sitting.
But most importantly, we chatted about tech news! Cafe Landver NFT's, Israel's First Digital Bank gets a new name before launch (and oh boy did we go on a tangent on this one), RIP Blackberry, and much more!
No shout outs this week, because we did 2022 resolutions. They are epic.
Enjoy! BYEEEEEE

Are you recovering from your whiplash from last week's episode? Have no fear, Itamar is back, ba-by!
And he finally tried Wordle, and his first score is the name of this episode, so it's now cemented in history. Have you tried Wordle yet? It's great fun.
