Episode 481: The Catturd of the Left (Patreon)

[Television!]

Hi, we’re Mike and JF, and we keep thinking about how our show lives at this weird intersection of totally absurd ideas and the rare ones that actually land. Today’s episode is probably the latter, but the path there has some real moments that feel like they belong on our show. I was laughing at an episode from earlier this month where we covered ice cube inventions and that guitar-playing gadget, and it made me think about how our whole thing is basically taking the "weird, dumb project" label and wearing it all the way to a functional product people actually use. Here’s an example of an email I’d send if I were some little oofy doofy ding dong who signed up for AI.Chimp influencer autoblasting service for $9999999/mo. Isn’t it GOOD? Don’t you wanna read MORE of them? Well I’d give you access to our inbox but then you’d know I still haven’t unsubscribed to those emails from David Shing yet and that’s really embarrassing.
