Diabolical Bastards

Episode 4 is just Billy and Nick. Jessica is sitting this one out and will be rotating in every other episode, so it's a two-man hour covering everything from Star Wars rides to a real-life Jarvis.

This week:

🎢 Nick's birthday trip to the Star Wars rides: an $8 thermal detonator Coke, a dry-ice cocktail, and getting roasted by a stormtrooper

📱 Billy's new iPhone transfer goes sideways

🏋️ Nick's first week with a personal trainer, carnivore diet confessions, and super greens that taste like lawnmower clippings

🎬 Billy on indie filmmaking: one-man crews, manual focus, and why he won't mix AI into practical shoots

🤖 The AI setup Nick built after getting tired of chatbots refusing his caption requests: local models, cloud GPUs, and AI film-making

🖐️ "Air Glass," an open-source holographic Jarvis, and plans to turn Nick's late Jack Russell, Capone, into an AI avatar

🛰️ Starlink beating cable, Powerwalls, and the Cybertruck plan

🥊 UFC, El Matador, Conor McGregor, and Luke Kuechly

📵 The shipping container that got a TikTok video banned
