One Eff 'N Erin

Editors Note/Warning: They went rogue and recorded this without me.

So Tamagotchis Are Back...

Just Jef and Jeff this week, which is funny because without Erin, they were throw into total chaos and forgot to introduce themselves. Or did they? Don't look at me - I'm just the description monkey! Anyway, there's a new toy that is totally going to chew your kid's face off while it sleeps. Also, Sam Altman hates Pervert Glasses, which feels strangely ironic, and we cover a new innovation in the toilet world but ERIN MISSED IT. So sad. Also, Jeff has HUGE APOLOGIES to give to Ben... so very, very sorry, Ben :( We have faces!

Yes, Meta's Pervert Glasses CAN Get Worse

We catch up on Erin's love life, and then it's a deep dive into the darkness of our technological souls, including Meta Glasses finding new ways to ruin the experience of being alive, BMW leading the charge on forced in-car advertisements, and a glimpse into a future where every convinence is going to literally nickel-and-dime us into oblivion. Don't worry, everything is fine. We have faces! Subscribe to the new YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SuggestedArticles Is The Algorithm watching YOU too closely?

Male Muscle Porn

Not a lot of good news this week, what with Windows making it possible to track you all over the world, Europe making it easier to spy on your communications, and Google turning your your phone into even more of an always-on listening device than it already was. But on the bright side, we learn something cool about tortoises. We have faces!

Shame on Costa Mesa - Hooray for Kristin!

We are joined by devoted listener AND ALSO a co-host of the On the Lanai podcast, Kristin! We talk about her love of reading (including some erotica even stranger than dinosaurs), Alexa trying to gaslight people, Costa Mesa, California's horrible and corrupt city council (it's Flock - of course it's Flock), and a quick sidetrip into The Odyssey.

This Episode is NOT Sponsored by Kia

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. We have faces! Subscribe to the new YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SuggestedArticles Is The Algorithm watching YOU too closely?

Jennifer Stewart Garman - Author of Calm and Creative

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 - check it out! Also, Jeff tried to break her with some life-threatening horrors of technology, but did he succeed? I guess you better listen. Also, get better Emily! Also also, Topher better watch his back. How to get this book and/or more Jen: The Ralph Report (link to her book can be found under the Merch section) Calm & Creative on Amazon (direct link through Jen's own affiliate account) Queen J's Creative Expedition!

Prison Break Cast Interviews - with Gina Wells

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.
