Happy first podcast of 2025! They can't all be bangers, but if you are old and looking at life changes like we are, Kelly's Medicare adventure might be considered informative. Watch out for radicalized vets in 2025, that's my advice. 

 I wonder how we devolve from medical advice to dirty priest jokes, but what a fun way to end 2024. We talk about eating for your blood type, Johnny Depp's parenting, Sniffy's and how our kids listen to anyone but us. If you want a new, sexy Cocktale Hour t-shirt, reach out. What a gift for the loved ones in your life!

 Christmas Stress! It's the reason for the season, y'all. Once again we are here to educate and entertain and whether it is moral management of your portfolio, the radicalization of America's youth or another one of our numerous business ideas, you've really got to turn in to catch this lightning in a bottle.

 In the world of true crime and whodunits, we're no fun. I already know who shot that guy. His wife, it is always the spouse, no matter how much fun other options sound. We talk about our plans for world domination through the excellence of our podcast too, so tune in campers!

 John is finally back in town and we can record a new episode. It is our first post-election episode and we talk a little about that guy, but more about ED medication, old people on cruises and Thanksgiving Turkey. Enjoy!

 This is the last podcast before the election. Depending on who wins and the remnants of free speech, we remain hopeful to continue Cocktale Hour, bringing you some of the last truly independent educational and entertaining content! Enjoy our discussion about the guy who had a penis implanted into his eye socket.

I used NotebookLM to make a podcast about the AI generated summary about this week's podcast. Enjoy the redundancy!

 Summary

The text is a recap of a conversation between John, Danny, and Kelly, where they explored various aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, its potential impact on their lives, and the implications for their podcast. They discussed the use of AI tools for creating podcasts, generating images and videos, and even enhancing their professional endeavors. The conversation also touched on broader issues like the future of work, the potential for AI-generated content to be misused, and the benefits and drawbacks of relocating to Eastern Canada.

 This week John plays an AI generated podcast clip of Cocktale Hour as reviewed by fake hosts. In an era of not knowing who you can trust, I guess we are unique, and you can trust us to be just as real as ever. I'm also posting an AI-generated podcast about this week's podcast as well as another, more serious AI podcast about an AP News article. Enjoy the 3-fer!

 Using Google's NotebookLM, I generated a podcast based on an AP News article about disinformation around the flooding in the western North Carolina mountains. 

 Danny is getting ready for his cruise and Kelly expresses a real interest in secret plastic surgery. Join us for another educational discussion about fashion, advanced degrees and political bullshit.
