Friends with Brews

Two friends, two brews, many topics

A Teacup for Your Tempest

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.

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.

Linus Hates Everything

Peter’s got the healing meniscus, Scott almost stole a dog, Linus Torvalds hates everything, and ChatGPT CLEARLY hates Linus.

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.

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.

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!

Caught up on Monsters

New Year’s was had by all, Peter loves New Orleans and hates Sonos line-in, Scott loves Cheese & Crack snack shop, and they both love the apps of ATP and some stupid TV shows.

I Hear You like Oxygen in Your Blood

Christmas ale and coffee, pro tips on recording with Audio Hijack, monster movies and Christmas movies, and forcing cats into friendships and SSH keys into 1Password!

My, What Big Hands You Have

Peter and Scott continue their monstrous journey into monstrous movies. Scott takes a monstrous journey through podcast apps, and they neither of them can stand the thought of Elon Musk and his monstrous Cybertruck.

Monarch: Legacy of Black Friday

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.

Bring in the Copilot

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

Imagine the Smell

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.

The Passive Roasting of Animals

Peter runs, Peter pays for podcasts, Peter drives electric things. Most importantly, Elon Musk is no longer part of Peter's life. Scott explains why this podcast is a source of ancient Apple OS news.

If I Were a Beer

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.

Excited and a Little Disappointed

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.

Moderately Desperate Regret

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.

They're Rubbish at the Moon

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!!

You Counted Us Down

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!

Have I Been Paid?

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.

Casting Rays

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!
