Is it Whisky, or is it Whiskey? None of us care, because John Chidgey is here to tell us about Whisky Whiskey, his video podcast! Don’t worry, there’s an audio only version for people like me who don’t watch things. John, Peter, and Scott also bemoan the state of AI, software in general, and Peter’s body.

Peter’s new book says to drink raw milk. Scott says no. Science is a process. Peter’s Opus ground it wrong, which leads the guys into talking about problem statements. Speaking of problems leads them into talking about Slack vs. Teams, design culture, and free smart scales and other spies. Tell your friends!

Peter drinks tea like a gentleman, Scott drinks the same coffee as last week like a person drinking the same coffee as last week, then they contemplate pushing updates to the Doge website. Scott applies for a job in the dumbest way possible, but also learns about ransomware from the best source – ransomware.

Peter and Scott support media. Independent media, that is. Peter and Scott also support coffee and eyeglasses, but not necessarily IPAs. But maybe one Jalapeno IPA? Who knows? They can’t find it in order to find out.

Peter loses a lot of glasses, repairs a lot of shoulders, and has a lot of countries he can live in. Scott revisits some drink ratings and still hates most of the drinks he previously hated. The real question is, will Warby Parker glasses help Scott play Baldur’s Gate 3 any better?

It’s time for lists, and Peter and Scott have them! Who’s been naughty? Who’s been nice? Who drinks coffee poured over fried rice??!! Ugh, no one, that’s who. That sounds disgusting.

Did you know you can call ChatGPT from a phone booth on main? Neither did Peter and Scott, until now! iPhones, Superman, old calculators, and post-intelligent USA, it’s all here (or should I say hear? It is a podcast, after all).

It’s all about traveling - tech precautions and travel routers! Also some Mac migration woes with zero traveling whatsoever.

Peter has the best beer in the universe, Scott has a coffee that exists in the universe, and Peter is ridiculously excited about a coffee mug warmer. AirPods Pro continue to be a buggy product in Apple’s lineup, Peter wishes he’d given life coaching advice to a stranger, Scott and Peter argue about notes applications for work and personal use, and FINALLY: Scott reveals the true identity of Monolith 3000.

Now playing, Peter’s European Vacation! Scott and Peter believe in Covid and flu shots, Peter begs listeners for some helpful feedback, AirTags do things, and caffeine withdrawal is a thing.

The Germans don’t want to talk about their Oktober Fest-Märzen, the Drink Coffee Do Stuff guys don’t want to talk about their Olympic blend, and Peter is about to vacation in Germany. But first… Peter’s FULL REVIEW of applying for Greek citizenship vs. applying for German citizenship.

Peter is Perplexity’d, Overcast is updated (and Scott likes it, so HA!), MKBHD does NOT make YouTube face, and 7-Eleven and Peter’s Vermont house are both getting makeovers.

Peter has a history of living in dungeons full of dragons, Home Depot has a history of screwing up expensive orders, Scott has a history of fighting with Audio Hijack, and both hosts have a history of drinking coffee on this podcast.

Peter and Scott start off on a roll until Scott has to inform Peter about who exactly Andrew Huberman really is, but it’s all uphill from there. Until the conversation about disinformation and gullibility. But there’s browsers, computer setups, and Furiosa!

Peter is back, and this is good news for Scott! This time Peter is not AI, but for some reason he and Scott talk nonstop about AI anyway. Tools, workflows, valid concerns vs. boogeyman concerns. Also blueberry poison.

It's Scott, Neter, and Lonnie! Here they talk about WWDC 2024 and all the wonderful things both real and artificial announced by Apple this year. We have all the lukewarm takes to go with our lukewarm beverages!

It’s a wonderful coffee day! Peter and Scott ponder the enbleepification of things, heaters dying, loans that refuse to be born, rotators with cuffs, Wi-Fi with the number 6, and some things they’re watching.

Ronnie can’t drink tannins but doesn’t know why, Scott and Ronnie used to podcast together but don’t know why, Ronnie and Scott had iPads Pro and don’t know why, because now they’re fully back on Mac laptops (and they do know why).

Peter has a Tempest (mic), Scott has a Bochi Bochi (beer), 3 bodies are a problem, technology is good but annoying, but Godzilla X Kong and Tonkatsu sandwiches are good and not annoying.

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.
