In this episode, we talked about the future of YouTube Shorts. Plus, Chad recently golfed at Pinehurst and we learned about left-handed golfing. Finally, the absurdity of smoking.
YouTube is now taking an aggressive stance to block ad blockers. Is this a good thing?
Check out this video by Sabine Hossenfelder for a really good overview on where we are right now with AI and where it is likely to head in the near future. Do we really need to learn anything if AI can do things for us? Chad and Steve also discusses Steve's 15th YouTube anniversary, the ridiculousness of brand loyalty and brand boycotts. And Fuck Cupcakes!
In this episode, we talked about, "How Designer Brands Keep You Poor", a recent video from Cara Nicole and how hyper-consumerism is getting people to buy products we really can't afford and don't need. (i.e. tools and cleaning products). And how they get you to buy into their subscription services to support corporate brands.
This week Chad discussed his radical new approach to work and sleep and Steve is now an ai evangelist.
We also talked about using urinals in all-gender restrooms. Should stalls be the future? And for god's sake, stop using those dumb ass gaskets!
In this episode we talked about the Mr. Beastification of YouTube and how this led to so many bland copycats. We're pretty sure that his videos are exactly what AI would create because they are designed to appeal to a machine. And we began this episode with a story about how Steve managed to rescue a small cat. In fact, we even had beauty tips, making this the most YouTube-retro podcast ever.

In this episode, we learn about face tattoos, how maple syrup is harvested, and the unusual occurrence of seeing someone smoking a cigarette. And does WOKE actually mean anything?
In this episode we talked about the irony of influencers having to sit through a 45 minute ad. And Chad is a chaperone. Plus, are you willing to pay to watch YouTube videos?
