Episode #406: You can't stop the signal
Episode Notes
I chose a name for the Nerdy Guy: Kevin Nerdman. Heh. He really does have a PhD from MIT -- that is, the Martian Institute of Technology.
This episode is a tribute to all the movies and TV shows that have been made since everybody and his dog carry a mobile phone; thus necessitating the need for people to forget their mobile, or have it destroyed/damaged/switched-off or be otherwise unavailable in order for The Plot To Happen.
