  • IT'S COMPLICATED - CRASH AND BURN, BABY.
    Feb 4 2024

    Boeing.

    Boeing.

    Boeing.

    Boeing can't stop being in the news and for all the wrong reasons. American quality is being questioned internationally as orders slip to Airbus. Why is Boeing failing and how does this relate to American standing worldwide? And what in the hell does "quiet quitting" have to do with all this? Is Boeing the canary in the coal mine? I dunno, what do YOU think?

  • IT'S COMPLICATED - THE ROBOTS ARE COMING
    Jan 29 2024

    We're talking AI and Robots but not before a brief detour touching on the "God's Army" Jingo Jamboree happening in Texas. Still, we'll talk about some Sci-Fi rules that maybe should be incorporated as we move into this new world of AI and why AI is both a boon and dangerous as hell.


    Yes, your toaster is probably trying to kill you for your own good.


    Let's get to it!

  • IT'S COMPLICATED - CANCELED
    Jan 15 2024

    What is "canceled" When did it become a thing? Can you come back from being "canceled"? Is what you did in the past more important than what you're doing now? And what happens when our heroes become canceled? And, what if we like them anyway?


    After listening to this, you just might cancel me.
