In Episode 8 of Chicken Fried Growth, hosts David York and Sara Moseley kick things off with a hilarious exploration of a true Deep South tradition: the double name. Inspired by the new DHS head, Markwayne, the hosts rate a long list of Southern double names. From the elegance of "Sarah Beth" and "Ruby Mae" to the slightly more concerning "Harley Rose" and "Isabella Lee," they unpack why Southerners love adding "-Mae," "-Lou," or "-Rose" to just about anything.

In the second half, the conversation shifts to a massive go-to-market experiment. David details his recent experience spending 72 hours working intimately with four AI agents to automate the updating of 1,400 pieces of enterprise marketing content for a corporate rebrand. While the agents successfully processed the massive volume of work in just six days, David shares the cracks he saw when operating AI at scale. Tune in to find out what he learned.
