The world needed another podcast of two single straight dudes giving predictions for 2026, so don’t ask and you shall receive. @mattyp and I covered four key topics with our predictions: San Francisco culture, San Francisco as a city, technology, and finally some wild cards. Will San Francisco’s party resurgence continue, and will we keep giving LLMs so much context that they have to start going to therapy? We cover all of this and much more.
