With a bounty of guests, we learn about:

• Holiday traditions from exotic locations such as France and Buffalo
• BFYTW Episode 300
• Why it's not easy being green
• ...and more!

Also, Jeff tries Spreaker's automated ad break system ... so let's see how this turns out.

The next episode will either be Holdays OR AMA.  So... stay tuned, I guess?  Also, remember when "toilet cameras" used to be something you'd only hear about when someone was arrested for installing them?  Kohler wants you to pay $600 for one, PLUS subscription fees!  Also also, we debate the possibilities that the butthole could be the newest biometric security standard.  Enjoy!

Shoutout to Abby - GET WELL, LITTLE GIRL!  This week we find the horrors of Doritos (or school cops, take your pick), Grok, and AI-powered toys.  The toys are coming for us, people, and they're bringing knives and matches!

The clock-change from Daylight Savings Time almost cost us a guest!  In the confusion, we start in on the mailbag and talk about digitizing our brains, but then (approximately 46:00) outstanding human (and so much more) Kim Farbota arrives and teaches us about neuroscience, why AI Art isn't the artpocalypse, and how Instagram's algorithm sometimes... well... sucks.  You absolutely MUST check out Kim's work on her Instagram account: @kim.farbota!

Reminder:  The Ask Me Anything episode is just 4 short episodes away - send in your questions!

Special guest this week:  Ryan!  Ryan is a good friend who also volunteered to clean up our video recordings and start up our YouTube channel.  He's also a tech expert, which is why he's probably too good for us.  We get to know Ryan, talk about a horror or two, and then spend some time gushing over the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book ... including the triumphant return of Pod Libs!

This week runs the gamut, starting with Jef's Spielberg Corner, but then a bevvy of Horrors of Technology, including TikTok Shop stalker toys, Tilly Norwood, and news from the world of Brain Organoids.  We also talk more about savior-or-not asteroid (or "asteroid") 3I Atlas and we discover Lisa from MarryLisa.com.

First:  Jeff was just on the Beer'd Al Podcast!  Give it a listen and enjoy, please and thank you!

Other notes:  Jef is finally on the Dungeon Crawl Carl train (and he hasn't even seen the trains yet), Jeff raised money for boobs, and don't forget to send us your AMA questions!

Ben from Chasing the Whimsy has come back to bring the MUCH-needed good vibes and also some amazing presents!  We talk podcast awards, new show ideas, and more.  ... THEN Jeff ruins everything by opening up Conspiracy Corner to talk about Trump's obviously-AI video about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Also, Jef gives us some hope that aliens are coming to either save us or wipe us out.  We're good either way.

Left all alone, Jeff decided to sit in his closet and attempt to read you to sleep.  Topics include: Cracker Barrel, the new head of the CDC, new solar cell technology, and a deep dive into the island of Tetepare.  But because this is still Suggested Articles, there's also talk about sci-fi movies, Wendy's, poop, and, of course, Taco Bell.  Feedback would be immensely appreciated!

This week we are joined by Kierstin, who is, by her own account, a bonafide COMMUNIST.  We take this shocking news in stride as we try to learn what is and isn't actual Communism, and how Kierstin's political and economic beliefs shape her feelings about Technology, The Algorithm, and Taco Bell.

She seems nice, so maybe give her a shout on TikTok: @kierkanceled
