Episode 473: Norma Hates Our WiFi

Bart and Norma are left to their own devices when reviewing a relatively quiet week, especially since Norma's wifi use is severely hampered and she wants to fix it during the podcast recording session. That did not end well, and Bart is never putting up with the jabs of "doesn't test changes before recording time and causing problems during recording time" after this...

Other than that, we review Jeopardy! making a whoopsie, an aquarium gets sued for reasons aquariums don't normally get sued for, Google acts non-Googly and some people are feeling the effects of the laws they supported but those effects affect them in the wrong way so I guess empathy is no longer quite theoretical when it becomes personal? I guess? Maybe?
