PJ's cycling adventure in France, and RJ's vacation in Portugal and foosball adventure in Spain.

Here in Episode 204 we once again find AI, and its increasing use as a substitute for human interaction, entering our chat. We feel the need to assure you: we are real, even if cover art isn’t. If you talk to us, it’s an actual interaction with organic beings. This episode sees said beings discussing KJ’s goings-on with career and family, another round of Snappers, the amusing nature of artists’ conceptual renderings of proposed architectural drawings and the aforementioned AI conversation. Plus, RJ reviews Wicked: Part I in anticipation of Part II. It’s all refreshingly and reassuringly human.

Fall has arrived again, in spite of our doubts, and despite this fully anachronistic episode. Gather ‘round the fire while we amuse ourselves talking about potential Pope names, get a full report on goings-on in KJ’s star-studded life, discuss the strange voting experiences in this year’s federal election, and yeet us some Snappers. We touch on some serious matters, too, so let’s see if we can get Friendly to call Rusty and Jerome to join us around the fire. Buddy will be pleased!Factoids of the month: (1) Payne Street was where KJ, PJ, and RJ lived from c. 1979 into the early 80’s. The house was close to the corner of Payne &amp; Suffering. (2) Vatican City is 100% Catholic! One can only wonder if the Swiss Guard frog-marches non-believers out of the sovereign state.

Snappers, Stargate, the theatre, the Lapu-Lapu Day car attack, voting experiences

203. KJ Reports!

In the time we’ve been making this podcast, we’ve tried hard to create a picture of three genial older men who anyone would like to chat with. Regardless of the success of that effort, in this episode we hint at a sadder aspect of those who lurk in the Shed. Yes, we have fun listener mail, we hear about the Vancouver Rise along, and we give our impressions of central vacuums. We laugh at a cute dog story. We even have a light brush with poetry. The troubling part comes with a topic we toss around lightly but which can surely only beg this scary question: Why do these guys know so much about anti-snoring devices?
