We're back to tech news this week as Samsung struggled with Galaxy S5 sales, we saw some sexist Sony advertising, Netflix and Tina Fey got together, and we examine if Call of Duty is really a first person shooter.

Featured music this week is [Portugal. The Man](http://www.portugaltheman.com/?ref=birchtree.me), an awesome rock band from Alaska. If you only have time for one of them albums, make it 2013's [Evil Friends](https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/evil-friends/id613557623?at=10l8rH&ref=birchtree.me).
