  • 299.5 Josh and CJ to the "MAX"

    Speaking of "Max", the new service is launching with a reboot of Harry Potter. We share our thoughts on the news and discuss whether or not we're excited to see the beloved wizarding world back on our screens.

    And finally, Josh takes the floor to discuss the state of the MLB and the umpires' recent mistakes. But surprisingly, CJ is also interested in sports and has some thoughts to add. Tune in to hear our take on the latest in the world of baseball.

  • Very Happy To Be Angry

    This week, Brian, CJ, and Josh are ready to talk all things nerdy, from Hamilton to drones to AI headshots and everything in between.

    First up, Brian shares his fiery hot take on the musical Hamilton. He's got some strong opinions on the cast, the music, and the impact of this Tony-winning show on pop culture. CJ and Josh chime in with their own thoughts and reactions, and the debate gets heated (but in a good way!).

    Next, CJ poses a big question: is the new Zipline drone, which delivers packages with another drone, crazy cool or crazy stupid? The group discusses the pros and cons of this technology.

    In a tech twist, Josh talks about his recent experience using AI to take his new headshots. He shares the details of working with the AI tool and his thoughts on the final product. Brian and CJ weigh in with their own thoughts on the use of AI in the photography industry, and the conversation gets pretty nerdy (but we love it that way!).

    Last but not least, it's April Fool's Day! Brian asks the group to share their favorite nerdy jokes from the internet to celebrate. From movie trailer pranks to fake gadget releases.

    So join us for some fun, insightful discussions on these topics and more.
