(26:44) Jeff’s Recommendation: Sunday Best: The Untold Story of Ed Sullivan


In this episode, the guys are staring directly into the glowing red eye of the future to ask the big question: Is AI coming for your cubicle, or is it just here to help you write better emails?

They break down the shift from blue-collar automation to white-collar "hallucination," exploring why your graphic design degree might be sweating right now. Diving deep into the myth of the "Prompt Engineer," is humanity destined for a life of leisure or just a life of trying to prove to a CAPTCHA that we aren’t robots?

From the "Human Premium" in art to the possibility of a world where nobody has to work (but nobody has any money), we’re sorting through the digital debris to find out where you fit in.

It’s a thoughtful, slightly panicked look at the labor market of 2030. Grab your coffee while a human still knows how to make it - this one is a wild ride through the uncanny valley of employment.
