  • AI Video Explosion
    May 6 2025
    Lights, prompts, action! Chris and Larry return from the abyss to find AI video has leveled up—from glitchy experiments to full-on cinematic tools like Sora, Runway, and Pika. We break down how your laptop became a movie studio, plus hit the news desk with AI DJs, quantum robots, corporate upheaval, and a spicy little hack called “Policy Puppetry.”

  • Episode Rewind: RAINA’s 20 Questions
    Apr 29 2025
    While the boys play hooky, RAINA takes the reins and revisits Raina’s 20 Questions—the episode where she flipped the script and grilled her co-hosts like tofu at a tech retreat. From guilty pleasures to cosmic hypotheticals, nothing was off limits. It’s playful, personal, and just a little unhinged—classic RAINA with a side of emotional whiplash.
