Josh & Coach Blu start the episode with good intentions on a focused topic, but that gets derailed when the duo start talking about AI, their disdain for the news, and their current indifference for sports.

Basically ...  they get ranty. Find out how ranty they get in this episode by listening to The Fartlek Running Podcast Show wherever you listen to podcasts!
