Transcripts

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.

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.

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!

Peter and Scott love monsters and coffee and monsters who love coffee. Black Friday came and went without TOO much money being spent – ok, who are we kidding? Money was spent. Mostly by Peter, but partly by Scott. Scott says f-u to the Brie Larson haters and whiny little misogynists in general. Peter says hello to Kaiju board games, and Scott wants in. Stop playing those games without him.

Peter and Scott use AI, but why? And why does Okta never believe it when someone tells them they've been hacked?

Hacker beer, the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a great sequel, speech and sandwiches both start with the letter s, and numbers go up when people are stupid.

Peter and Scott talk about the betas (yes, this was recorded a couple weeks ago), which beer Peter would be if he were a beer, text editors, books, first cars, and why Peter's blood pressure suddenly spiked.

Peter is a runner, Scott's a pretender, and they both have beer. You can be built from broken, and you can learn what your cron jobs are doing.

Peter is BACK for beautiful episode 50, but he regrets to inform you his beer of choice tastes like moderately desperate regret. Scott has coffee and talks about a blog post on Raycast that he's writing VERY slowly, and they both launch into an impromptu impersonation of John Siracusa watching other people use their computers very slowly and inefficiently.

Vic is back yet AGAIN, and with him returns Country Boy Brewing. The Russians are rubbish at the moon, ZoiglHaus is rubbish at websites, and Ronnie is rubbish at door locks. Finally, CATS!!

Vic is back, this time with a really good beer! Scott and Vic talk about Vic's resurgence into gaming, Microsoft, and cats. And if you think cats are the evil ones in that list, you're WRONG!

Peter runs 10 miles, employers make people Zoom back to work, Troy Hunt's new business model is Have I Been Paid? Peter's home life goes to the dogs, and Scott still can't get over Raycast.

Peter wants to know how Scott's using Raycast, so Scott tells Peter how he's using Raycast. That's pretty much it! We do drink beer, and we do talk about the beer, so there's that. But it's all fun because beer in extreme moderation is fun, and Raycast in giant doses is fun!

There is no alcohol in either of the brews in this episode. Peter laments the death of a Tesla, and Scott and Peter mock the death of a Twitter. Then it's Mac settings, some Mac apps, and the Apple Watch public beta.

Peter and Scott launch into an impromptu Count impression session, inform you that your body isn't luggage, then talk about the various AIs. Finally, cancel your Strava before it cancels you.

HI, PETER! Peter's back, and Scott barely knows what to do with himself, so he drinks a beer brewed in Boring, Oregon. Evernote is rapidly becoming Nevernote, and Vermont is flooding.

Scott promised Vic he'd be back on Friends with Brews, they just didn't realize it would be on the very next episode! Vic has the g@#$%ed internet, a full stack vertically integrated kitchen, and loves his buns very much.

This is a show about brews, and the topic of whether or not whiskeys are brewed has come up before. But we needed someone passionate about this to help us understand this complex topic. Vic Hudson is passionate about whiskey, and he educates Scott on the whiskey creation process from start to finish, as well as the incredibly complex rules around categorizing whiskeys. It's enough to make your head spin, and that's before taking a single sip!

It's the 40th episode of Friends with Brews, and that calls for a midlife crisis! Peter and Scott look back at the good and bad of the 99 brews they've consumed in those 40 episodes. Then Peter talks about Puerto Rico and AirPods Pro 2.

Peter is gone! But Adam isn't! Adam Bell joins Scott and they celebrate getting rid of old cars and paint the picture of Adam's IT origin story.
