March 23, 2013
The March 23, 2013 broadcast is especially revealing when Dr. Dave and Evil Steve step away from product details. Evil Steve's long motorcycle project leads them to agree that worthwhile creative work is about enjoying the process before it is finished, while Dr. Dave explains that even a frustrating service dispute should be handled professionally and courteously so solving one problem does not create another. A rumored Xbox restriction gives Dr. Dave a concise rule for user-centered technology: explain the tradeoffs and let the customer choose. His five-dollar free-candy-bar analogy captures the political viewpoint of the show, and lighter moments find him turning to economics and laughing-baby videos for a better mood and trading an old software-industry joke with Evil Steve.
