136 - Gorbo and the Guest


Listen Later

Justin and Jem find a new AI obsession named Gorbo, question their sanity naming products, and discover that borderline-creepy customer texts actually make sales. Jem composts plywood (because why not?), MacBook meltdowns ensue, and robot vacuums run amok. To top it off, Eric (Mel) ends up the show’s first-ever guest.
