Episode 64 • The Accidental Decaf Podcast
Peter and Scott decaffeinate themselves, but not intentionally at first. Software quality is declining, Scott and Peter’s bodies are declining, and Notion and AI continue to be products in the lineup of tools they both use.

Episode 62 • Sports with Balls
Peter hates it when Lego are lonely. Dogs aren’t people (but they should be), and Scott tries some AI software tools. Peter reviews Ted Lasso, a show with all the feels. Scott really wants to find the ultimate notes app for documentation, while Peter just misses the time when Evernote was a trustworthy company.

Episode 61 • Fashionably Smaller Meniscus
Is Peter’s meniscus too large? His surgeon seems to think so. World champion coffee is a thing, and Peter owned a coffee shop, once. Scott doesn’t like lizard brain or excessive masculinity, and neither Peter nor Scott have any desire to buy an Apple Vision Pro.

Episode 60 • Weekending in Vermont
Houses are a nightmare, but weekending in Vermont is worth it. Scott drinks less, Peter’s knee hurts more, and they both remember Chicago. The font, that is. Keyboards, trackpads, mice, detectives, vampires, and the Post Office – it’s all here!
