Special guest Taylor Welch joins and talks Fortnite, what we're using AI for, what we're not, Jannie thoughts on web design, new backyard patios and projects, what Carrie learned very recently about birds, exciting pop culture news from the fam...

We used to burn CDs, the kids on a hike, discomfort tolerances, why are robots girls, proud of Pride, and why straight people were "out" for Jannie back in the day.
