  • Summary

  • How to Build the Wrong Thing is a wildly imaginative, hilariously chaotic audio adventure series starring two best friends: Hugo and Max. Every episode is a new blueprint for disaster, held together with duct tape, questionable science, and unshakeable confidence. It’s a comedy series for clever kids and secretly-nerdy grownups who like their product management lessons hidden inside raccoon-powered submarines and rogue AI vending machines. Come for the chaos. Stay for the extremely questionable decision-making.

    Operation Toastbot
    May 2 2025
    Max and Hugo decide to revolutionize breakfast with an AI-powered toaster called Toastbot—without ever watching anyone actually make toast. What follows is a spectacular cafeteria disaster involving flying bread, a robotic arm gone rogue, and a principal with crumbs in his glasses. After the smoke clears (literally), they realize that guessing what people need—without observing how they actually do things—is a great way to build something totally useless (and flammable). Armed with binoculars and new-found humility, they launch a stealth toast-surveillance operation and rebuild Toastbot the right way. Lesson learned: if you don’t watch the users, the toast—and the world—might explode.
