Suggested Articles - The Podcast

We are once again, sadly, down a Jef, but we soldier on to talk mailbag and our hot new podcast rankings, and a set of Horrors of Technology mostly from the world of American-made automobiles.  Ford, more than any of them, can bite our collective asses.

Jennifer Stewart Garman (a.k.a. Queen J from The Ralph Report) is here to talk about the new book she wrote and the very important why.   The goal of inspiring more people to grab an actual, literal pencil and try their hand at drawing is a very noble one in this age of AI image generation and the ability to get instant results with zero effort.  This is a delightful book for almost any age - chec...

Gina Wells from The Fink Show and On the Lanai joins us and gets one helluva primer on how we do things in The Church of the Algorithm!  After a robust mailbag, we talk about Ronny Chieng being the hero of graduation season and how Google no longer is in the business of letting you "google" things.  And plenty of Disney, of course.

Huge Utah corruption means huge data center problems, ChatGPT is obsessed with Goblins, and we chat briefly about Dungeon Crawler Carl book 8 AND the delicious offerings of a chocolate company called Maeve (not a sponsor).

Seems like everyone is in a bit of a weird mood this week, but we manage to plow through a LOT of Horrors of Technology, from car surveilance to spaghetti surveilance to Eric Trump being the guy that's going to set off the final Skynet-esque catastrophe that kills us all.  We'll be back!  (in 2 weeks with another episode) We have faces!

This week, returning friend Kierstin reads us a story from French history, and we react!  It's a little bit like the show The Dollop, but they're real comedians and we're... yeah.  Enjoy!

A team meeting breaks out, but after we recover, we get some real tech (and stuff) news!  GM doesn't want you to buy their cars anymore, the Charlie Kirk bullet doesn't match, and The White House is - shock of shocks - tracking your every move and giving the data to [UNKNOWN_ENTITY].

In the afterglow of the Tonopah trip, The Algorithm has shown its true power by taking out a martial arts legend who had some legendarily-bad views.  Also, how much do you love SAUCES? We have faces!

The trip to Tonopah, Nevada was a hard-frought adventure, but we lived to tell the tale.  Tesla Superchargers give Jeff an Ulcer, Keri gets pulled over on her way to buy drugs, and we top it all off with tales of poo.  Woman poo.  You're welcome, Erin.

Jef didn't enjoy last episode's topics so much, so this time we keep things a little lighter.  What are the topics?  I don't know.  I'm drunk as I write this, so just be happy you're getting an episode at all, GEEZ.  Also watch out for the NEXT episode - our Tonopah adventure!

The truth about Waymo, the weird about Moya, the new, WARM Chinese robot, and then Jeff pivots into Pizzagate's ties with The Epstein Files while Jef curls into the fetal position.  Thank goodness Erin was there. AS MENTIONED ON THE SHOW: Ben from Chasing the Whimsy does a lot of cool things, but this is one of the coolest yet.  Check out his adult activity book! We have faces! Subscribe to the ne...

Major topics of the week:  Tonopah is coming soon, Google Genie let's you create games both "instantly" and "kinda," and Elon Musk wants you to buy his crappy Optimus robot that definitely won't work.  Also, he's in the Epstein Files.  Also also, Erin talks about bad-man penises.

From tongue to taint, CES 2026 had products for every part of your body and your life.  You can get an AI pet, or an AI girlfriend, or even an AI nutritionist that tells you to eat the one piece of broccoli served with that corn tortilla.  And yes, there's poop... and sex stuff.  No combination of the two that we saw, but 2027 is only a year away.

It's the Ask Me (Us) Anything episode!  We talk about music, scars, and come up with a new viral marketing technique.  And since these questions come from you, the listeners, it should surprise no one that there's poop.

With a bounty of guests, we learn about: Holiday traditions from exotic locations such as France and Buffalo BFYTW Episode 300 Why it's not easy being green ...and more! Also, Jeff tries Spreaker's automated ad break system ... so let's see how this turns out. We have faces!

The next episode will either be Holdays OR AMA.  So... stay tuned, I guess?  Also, remember when "toilet cameras" used to be something you'd only hear about when someone was arrested for installing them?  Kohler wants you to pay $600 for one, PLUS subscription fees!  Also also, we debate the possibilities that the butthole could be the newest biometric security standard.  Enjoy! We have faces! Sub...

Shoutout to Abby - GET WELL, LITTLE GIRL!  This week we find the horrors of Doritos (or school cops, take your pick), Grok, and AI-powered toys.  The toys are coming for us, people, and they're bringing knives and matches!

The clock-change from Daylight Savings Time almost cost us a guest!  In the confusion, we start in on the mailbag and talk about digitizing our brains, but then (approximately 46:00) outstanding human (and so much more) Kim Farbota arrives and teaches us about neuroscience, why AI Art isn't the artpocalypse, and how Instagram's algorithm sometimes... well... sucks.  You absolutely MUST check out K...

Reminder:  The Ask Me Anything episode is just 4 short episodes away - send in your questions ! Special guest this week:  Ryan!  Ryan is a good friend who also volunteered to clean up our video recordings and start up our YouTube channel.  He's also a tech expert , which is why he's probably too good for us.  We get to know Ryan, talk about a horror or two, and then spend some time gushing over th...

Reminder:  The Ask Me Anything episode is just 5 short episodes away - send in your questions ! This week runs the gamut, starting with Jef's Spielberg Corner, but then a bevvy of Horrors of Technology, including TikTok Shop stalker toys, Tilly Norwood, and news from the world of Brain Organoids.  We also talk more about savior-or-not asteroid (or "asteroid") 3I Atlas and we discover Lisa from Mar...

First:  Jeff was just on the Beer'd Al Podcast !  Give it a listen and enjoy, please and thank you!

Ben from Chasing the Whimsy has come back to bring the MUCH-needed good vibes and also some amazing presents!  We talk podcast awards, new show ideas, and more.  ... THEN Jeff ruins everything by opening up Conspiracy Corner to talk about Trump's obviously-AI  video about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Also, Jef gives us some hope that aliens are coming to either save us or wipe us out.  We'r...

Left all alone, Jeff decided to sit in his closet and attempt to read you to sleep.  Topics include: Cracker Barrel, the new head of the CDC, new solar cell technology, and a deep dive into the island of Tetepare.  But because this is still Suggested Articles, there's also talk about sci-fi movies, Wendy's, poop, and, of course, Taco Bell.  Feedback would be immensely appreciated! We have faces! S...

This week we are joined by Kierstin, who is, by her own account, a bonafide COMMUNIST.  We take this shocking news in stride as we try to learn what is and isn't actual Communism, and how Kierstin's political and economic beliefs shape her feelings about Technology, The Algorithm, and Taco Bell. She seems nice, so maybe give her a shout on TikTok: @kierkanceled We have faces! Subscribe to the new...

The Algorithm is reading our minds, brain implants are getting reposessed, Jeff's never been to Hooters, and an inebriated Jef unveils his new game: Yay or Nay (Conspiracy Theory Edition).
