We dissect the tech news train wrecks of the week, calling out what went wrong and who’s to blame. Think of this podcast as if Kurt Cobain threw down with Tom from MySpace, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg in a back alley brawl. No mercy, no filter—if tech had a walk of shame, this would be it.

The internet continues its chaotic march with a TikTok deal looming and LimeWire buying Fyre Fest; layoffs are hitting AI companies across the board, including Google and Elon's xAI, while new age verification laws threaten app stores and online platforms; nudists are feuding with SpaceX, and fans are turning on Elon over his recent antics, leading to a Tesla engineer's spectacular resignation and an NHTSA investigation into Tesla's faulty doors; we're catching up on Foundation S3 and Upload, enjoying the nostalgia of Freaky Friday, and looking forward to The Witcher S4 and a new Lilith Fair documentary, all while dealing with mediocre iOS updates, Meta's dystopian tech, and the surprising success of the Carrot App musical; meanwhile, we're diving into books on meditation, reality, and stand-up comedy, lamenting the demise of Publishers Clearing House winners, and mourning the retirement of Dodgers legend Clayton Kershaw and the passing of Robert Redford.
