The Internet Had a Good Run | Ep. 328

Listen Later

In this episode:

  • The Pope gets hung up on by customer service.
  • Ask Jeeves officially exits the internet.
  • Google turns search into a zero-click AI answer machine.
  • Iceland proves the four-day workweek is not a fantasy.
  • Chipotle says the fix for smaller portions is “just ask for more.”
  • Scott somehow makes this about Subway, lettuce, and sliced ketchup.

    • Listen if you care about customer service rage, the death of old-school internet curiosity, Google eating the web, four-day workweeks, corporate nonsense, burrito bowl economics, and whether the Pope also hates his phone company.
