  • Using and talking about AI

    I’ve been listening since nearly the beginning. I think I’m going to have to sunset this show now that they use and talk about generative AI even though they know the many problems with it :( It really sucks that AI is creeping into everything.

  • Left wing show

    Funny how they don’t mention what a train wreck their president Biden is, but they bash republicans daily. If you like to listen to a socialist-racist and a leftist side kick that laughs at the dumb jokes like a stoner,this is the show for you. They seem to like questionable behavior of others and have a clear agenda against Elon Musk or anyone not a communist. Typical Tampon users

  • Blerp bleep

    Great show, looong time listener. I just wish they’d re-introduce guests for those of us who take prolonged breaks when life gets in the way (or for new listeners!). Who’s Monica? Where’s Gidgit? Has TV’s Travis replaced her? Why has the ā€œcall nowā€ been replaced with AI messages?

  • A+ banter and topics

    The vibe between Scott and Brian just works. Listen to a few episodes and see for yourself; it may take some time to pick up on their personalities, but they are top tier entertainment after you get to know them.

  • Vibe seems off lately

    I’ve listened to this podcast for many years, as far back as the 2010s I can remember. But lately I can barely make it through episodes. I feel like the things they talk about is rambling or out of touch, or so very specific to them that I can’t relate. I’ll keep listening to give them benefit of a doubt for a while longer, but the spark once there, seems dull now.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TMS: Oops, all Brian!
Q: If you were given the ability to retcon one MCU property, what would it be and how would you change it?
The guest suggests focusing on fleshing out backstories for Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne and expanding the Hank Pym/Jant Van Dyne legacy rather than a hard retcon, using it as a way to deepen existing characters rather than alter core canon.
TMS 3040: The Sounds of Bread and Yogurt
Q: Has Amazon's dominance changed with newer players like Alibaba and Shopify, and does Shopify's broader ecosystem matter in the long run?
The guest explains that while Alibaba and regional players are strong in specific markets, Amazon remains the global leader in overall revenue and market share, with Shopify accounting for a large share when considering the ecosystem it powers rather than just the storefronts.
ALT TMS: The Panic is Real
Q: Trumpel. Hey, Scott. Seen any good movies lately or anything you're excited to see soon?
Scott expresses excitement about new horror titles and upcoming screenings, while weighing weekend plans for movie outings and staying open to various releases.
TMS 3020: Fletcher Invasion
Q: What is the most interesting upcoming live event mentioned for the show?
A live TMS show featuring Fletcher, Dunaway, and Christine, with tickets or attendance coordinated through the patreon-supported community and a schedule update.
TMS 3004: Parmigone
Q: What is OpenClaw and why is everyone talking about it as the future of computing?
Tom explains that OpenClaw is an open-source autonomous agent you control, typically running on a private setup whether on a Mac mini, a private server, or a cloud instance, with guard rails and safety considerations. It can integrate with various AI services and operate via messaging interfaces, enabling tasks like email and scheduling, while highlighting privacy trade-offs and the need for careful configuration.
