Yes, yes, we know, we are like one of those annoying couples that celebrates random milestones. Ask yourself this though: isn't true love meant fighting for?

The episode that Skype tried hard to suppress is here. What was so controversial that CNN wouldn't play it on air? I'd say tune in and find out, but let's face it, you all know I'm lying. Speaking of which, this week we get to the bottom of a long mystery: what exactly does Yasmine say when she ends the show? On the more boring side we talk Huawei Watch, Google Maps changes, an phone only experiment and news that has Russell falling off his chair. His CHAIR people. HIS CHAIR! Ok Google, play Material in Pocket Casts!

You know damn well that our hosts are hip to the young people. Between their baseball caps turned thusly, their hoodies and their hip startups they feels ya. That's why this week we debut a brand new segment 'Andy's Advice To The Youngs'. If you, dear young person, have been wondering why your career is as stagnant as your love life, then you need look no further. One dose of Andy's Advice to The Youngs per week will cure all your ills. Our hip trend-setting cats also discuss the demise of Motorola, recent tech developments, and what they are hoping to see at Google I/O.

It's 2016 and your hosts are back and raring to go. Before they deep dive into CES and other Google news though, there's an important question to cover: What exactly did they do over the break and what have they spent their Relay FM millions on? The answers may shock you more than this show's title ever will.

It's the final Material for the year, so what do our beloved hosts have in store for you this week? Will they perform an Opera xmas miracle and give gifts to each and every one of their listeners? Well I'm not saying they will, but I'm also not saying they won't! Remember to use Apple Pay, and stay past the ending. Ho Ho Ho. Peace out listenerds!

On today's fateful episode Yasmine loses her voice to foul treachery on the part of another Relay FM podcast. Which one is it? What do unicorns and tacos have to do with it? And is Android so insecure someone will steal this episode before you get to hear it? Only one way to find out!

Can it be?! Is this the episode that Andy finally returns to the Android fold? Is Yasmine really playing with lego the entire episode? Is Russell obsessed by a router he can't have? Does the team make any terrible puns about the Pixel-C? Only one way to know! Tune in to this weeks episode! Come for the discussion, stay past the closing credits for a once in a lifetime musical. No we mean it, it may literally happen only once in your lifetime.

On this weeks show we're joined by Matías Duarte, Vice President of Design at Google. We talk about everything from Material Design to how to camouflage LEGO against couches. Come to hear one of the world's most influential designers speak, stay for the quotes: > “It’s no good to pump out gold bricks if you’re crushing the souls of tiny unicorns in the process” - Matías Duarte

The crew is shocked to learn that 22 episodes in they might be becoming friends...and what do all friends do at this point? Answer listener questions of course! And discuss Star Trek and Star Wars! In other news Yasmine buys a car definitely, probably, maybe just to get Android Auto. Happy Thanksgiving America! This episode is our turkey for you. Well it's not 'a turkey' it's great...no really. Come back. Download me already!

Andy shows off his day and night iPad Pros (you see he only plays offence, never defence). Yasmine yells at Google. Microsoft runs away. Russell doesn't get Thanksgiving, but Google does.

But enough frivolity, grab your listenerd drinking game and join the fun!

On this week's show we discover that the rumours of Andy's death have been greatly exaggerated. We meet the cutest little listenerd in the world, debate how to pronounce 'Heuer' and ask how long until the machines can finally read your mail and schedule all your appointments. Meanwhile Google and Apple lose their marbles. Like really lose them. Like I can't even levels of loss. Google open sources the tech behind their machine learning magic, and Apple brings Apple Music to Android. Lastly after discovering there's a 'listenerds' drinking game Yasmine drops the L bomb so many times that most of you should probably call in sick tomorrow. Maybe the next day too. Heck take the entire week off. Listenerd, listenerd, listenerd. WHAT A WEEK TO BE ALIVE LISTENERDS. WHAT. A. WEEK. TO. BE. ALIVE.

Did our two fierce competitors kill each other, and if not, how do they feel about their Nexus 6P devices? We also have a super special guest to interview. That's right, we did the unthinkable and kidnapped the first iPhone user we could find, gave them a Nexus 5X and then got their thoughts on it. Have they been swayed to the dark side? Why did they miss the recording of their favourite Apple podcast this week? Something is afoot...and we get to the bottom of it all.

In more light-hearted news Olive goes to the Google Campus and we get all spooky thanks to a new analytics site from Google. The most important take-away though? The race for Nexus 6P ownership has begun. Australia vs America. Man vs Woman. Developer vs Designer. You can slice this Amazing Race in so many ways that you just won't believe...but who will come out on top?!
