Workslop and Other Awesome Signs of Progress
Ian and Michael unpack the newly coined term workslop, the kind of messy, half-baked output that happens when people use AI to make their lives easier and their coworkers’ lives harder. From lazy automation to the myth of “efficiency,” they rant their way through human shortcuts, failing AI projects, and our growing appetite for convenience. Along the way, the discussion drifts into shoplifting, delivery drones, and the creeping future where even grocery runs are automated. As always, it’s part tech talk, part social commentary, and part existential sigh. (This description was generated with AI)

Word Games
In this episode, Ian and Michael get tangled up in word games: from guessing connections and spelling oddities to debating what words really mean and where they come from. It’s part linguistics, part confusion, and part infotainment as they wander through language quirks, cultural mix-ups, and the occasional AI twist. Proof, perhaps, that even words can be unfiltered.

QR Codes on Roadside Billboards and Other Bad Ideas
Ian and Michael bounce between topics as only they can: from the absurdity of QR codes on roadside advertisements to car tech and pop-up ads, from Jay Leno’s car-collector persona to podcasting’s strange evolution into video. Along the way, they detour into social media, nom-dom millionaires, and what future historians will think if they were to come across this very podcast. A freewheeling mix of rants, rabbit holes, and reflections. (This episode description was generated with the help of AI)
