This week, Sean & Joshua crawl out of a month-long hiatus, trade beach walks & trivia nights for sober seltzers & hazy IPAs, and admit AI quietly rescued their whole back catalog (creative control is still very human.). They spin up AI Radio for “Welcome Home, It’s Christmas Time,” debate white vs wet vs warm vacations, Christmas trivia from space & a suspiciously accurate intervention fortune, all that & more! Enjoy the show!

-SOUND BITES-

• “I didn't think it was possible that you can actually miss somebody's face.” — Joshua opening the reunion feelings flood.

• “I miss you like somebody misses a good fart.” — Joshua escalating the compliment in the most Joshua way possible.

• “For the month of December, I'm doing uh a dry run, if you will, until I go on vacation.” — Sean explaining sober December before Disneyland.

• “By episode 110 Joshua still does not know how to describe flavors.” — Sean roasting Joshua’s beer-tasting skills mid-pour.

• “The English teacher that I had in high school, she she was a [ __ ] dude.” — Joshua blaming one tiny Penguin-shaped teacher for his adjective issues.

• “I've been working a lot uh working behind the scenes a lot on the website.” — Sean on spending the hiatus rebuilding seasons 1–32 with AI help.

• “We are a podcast that promotes the good use of AI. We are not using AI for AI slop, we are using it for good.” — Sean planting the show’s AI flag.

• “I think there will be an AI police and I don't want to be called an AI racist.” — Joshua deciding to speak very carefully about the robots.

• “I think AI overall, like for the most part, is a really good thing and I think it's going to help in a lot of ways like medicine.” — Joshua on AI as a superhero tool.

• “There's a reason why you can't type in how do I build a bomb, because you shouldn't know how to build a bomb, you [ __ ] idiot.” — Joshua drawing a bright line on AI misuse.

-FORTUNE & FINDS-

Fortune: You will be surrounded by old friends at your upcoming intervention.

Lucky Numbers: 1, 4, 17, 18, 20, 22, 47

Fun Finds / Value Finds:

Sean: Secret Laboo figure finally pulled from the Laboo line, kept safely on the shelf because it is the exact masked, burlap-sack style he wanted, plus an Alice In Wonderland sketch-series White Rabbit Funko to match his earlier Alice piece.

Joshua: Jumbo Nightmare Before Christmas Jack & Zero skeleton statue from Marshalls for about $24, perfectly matching his Jack backdrop & kicking off holiday decor season.
