Two Drinks Behind

We recorded this a few weeks back but didn’t release it—mostly because we sounded exhausted and overwhemed. But hey, content gods must be fed. This one’s about the speed of foreign policy, the tyranny of the clock, and a.i. friends. Also: is the cure for depression two drinks, a motorcycle, and seeing Olivia Rodrigo live in concert?

We discuss true love and tariffs, while budgeting your iPhone purchases. Lets make drugs again…and then do them in a bathroom with everyone’s favorite jockey. We invite Mike Tyson to the Kentucky Derby, and our producer edits out our guests.

We dive into the rapid unraveling of government systems, question the mysterious disappearance of Big Bird, and fantasize about life as ambassadors. Somewhere in there, I casually admit to a crime—can you guess what it is? Plus, a breakdown of checks and balances, a messy relationship with food, and why a more humane approach to immigration just makes sense. Bonus: can you spot the editing clip wh...

You can tell we are hungover. Happy new year.

We put Nate Silver on notice, and give ourselves a lot of credit.  Vibes > Data “Thank you for supporting our family run dictatorship” I hate even numbers, except when it come to the fake French. This generations Ted Kaczynski is way hotter.  We are for sure on a watch list now.  Can someone please make a meme of how Matt Gates looks like a composite of Beavis and Butthead? We are still toxical...

Hurricanes are bad, but we are badder.  Adriano is BIG… in Albania, and I play matchmaker.  We maintain our Lina Kahn streak.  Everything old is new again. I dunno, probably some other stuff, I stopped listening.

We try to do an election podcast, but of course we get off topic We have our first guest, Ethan, who single handedly raises our collective reading level, and challenges my supremacy for a buttery smooth podcasting voice.  Look it, this one is a little more scholarly and measured, but hey we are all nerds here.   Call us…. please. 615.870.7306

Biden drops out, we discuss the most dangerous job on the planet, and I say something really inappropriate. Sorry mom. 

We discuss our feelings and experiences with the Euro Cup, Disney world, the Kentucky Derby, and I buy a motorcycle.   We spend too much time talking about ourselves, but realistically it's your fault for not calling.

Adam Neumann strikes back! Weworks postmortem and resurrection? Olivia Rodrigo is the fountain of youth G.O.T. is probably a 5 out of 7 stars for me dog We make a compassionate  plea for our senior citizens caught in the crossfire of streaming wars And Boeing is the ultimate D.I.Y. flying experience I tune out while parenting, and we have nothing interesting to say about the super bowl

Turns out tesla just like every other car company OJ inspires me to run from the cops Did Elon try to steal my a.i.? We perhaps get a little too philosophical A.i. brining the resurrection We get too philosophical for a second time in one episode Maybe skip this one Turns our we both really like Ryan Garcia and Javier Milei inspires us to grow sideburns Adiós Mundo

I disrupt parenting using AI The  double decker is back Gay is out…the president Martha Stewart, we know you aint no rat.  Call me. This has officially become a legal podcast

In this episode: Why bars don't open earlier, footballs get confused, and a playful jab at how close Adriano was to being OpenAI's head honcho. I say, "I don't know," ponder Tony Blinkin's life choices, and fix crypto(your welcome). Wrapping up, we reminisce how Facebook went from cool kid to bully. Buckle up, I know you have missed us.

FTC goes 0-3 & we for sure spend too much time talking about Lina Kahn. Unbridled fanaticism is weird, but OMG T. Swift is an economic force. Heads up, soccer has broken the rough exterior of my heart. We find some really white paint, and there is a shot your hosts have fixed global warming...Your welcome. Plus- we almost escape without talking about chatCPT * nota bene - I do not have a crush...

We dive into the exciting world of crypto-couch cushion hunting with FTX, ponder the ethical implications of our robot overlords not paying their fair share, and question the true meaning of virtual reality (spoiler alert: it's still pretty lame). All that and more on this week's episode of Two Drinks Behind. Pro tip: use chatGPT to write your podcast description, we did. 

Your food is about to get more expensive, but fear not nerds, you will still have access to your video games. The empire strikes back, and FTX was full of sh**, but trading colored beads was fun while it lasted. You have been brosplained.  I love you. Pro tip: buying elected officials only works if you have the money to keep doing it

We discuss the finer points of not firing your best people.  I distance myself from the Bush era foreign policy, and we plan a dinner party for Xi, Putin and MBS.  Big tech takes a huge s***, and English culture is kinda meh. Bonus: The art world gets it wrong…again, and this episode's cover art is an original work by yours truly.

We discuss elon, because nobody else seems to be talking about him... and we don't want him to get sad.   Also, MIDI sucks, the romans did stuff, mark can't find his legs, and I(wesley) need to lay off the caffeine and profanity.  What do you think? Is is cool & edgy? We are back and it feels so good.... I love you!

Hey guys, this is the first podcast we every recorded, thought it was cute, figured we would delete... we didn't.  It's too long, the audio sucks, it's old, and I need to chill the fuck out with the caffeine.  Basically we have been slacking in the recording department, so we dusted this shit-shingle off the shelf and are serving it up special for you.  You're welcome.  

We discuss more macroecon. b.s., the Garcia vs. Fortuna fight, eurozone conspiracy theories, and whether or not to take your girlfriend/boyfriend to Greece for that coveted insta pic. Also, the boneheads a NASA did a thing. Bonus: Who should be on Boris Johnson's next bachelor party? 

We dive into the benefits of stimulus checks, natural experiments, UBI, reduction in childhood poverty.  oh, and also, as a bonus, you are going to learn way more about bananas than you ever thought possible.  

Adriano and Wesley discuss the finer points of cryptocurrencies, blockchain, the history of porn and media, and the future of the creator space.
