  • Bin the AI

    Charles’ uncritical fawning over AI reaches its nadir with a verbatim reading of his bot’s insipid Angus Taylor material.

    That’s me done.

  • Not enough available stars

    I have listened since the beginning with the knowledge that you asking us to rate and review the podcast won’t stop now that I have.

    I listen mainly because listening to Charles rant and get angry is usually for a justified reason. And even though I listen to only these two white men. I guess I will hang around

  • 700 trillion 😳😱🙄

    I’m on to you, lesser of the two siblings, Charles. You plan to put $1 into an interest bearing account and you will tell us to come back in 100,000 years to collect our winnings.

    Well I deserve that dollar because I’ve watched at least 3 episodes and given you 5 stars. I doubt anyone has sucked up to you more than me. 🧐

    “Why has it taken me 50 years to figure this out”. Because you’re not very smart Charles? 🤷‍♀️👍🏻
