  • Sick and twisted

    A harrowing look into the mind of a man who would spend 3 hours setting up an automation to make his Mac play a Chewbacca roar noise every time he gets an email

  • Great.

    Nobody can build a Rube Goldberg digital workflow quite like these two!

    Generally speaking though, I love the show. I love that they are professional. I love that they are clean and don’t do any cursing.

    I sometimes feel like they are doing some things just simply to see if they can be done.

    Overall though, they have given a lot of advice and guidance over the years and it has been great.

  • Great agenda, not focused

    This podcast would be amazing if they could figure out a way to make it more condensed. It might be fun to run so long but it’s hard to derive value with the 1:20 conversation. Just too long.

    The Podcast app adding transcripts helps. Perhaps ChatGPT can summarize it now.
