In this AI marketing podcast episode, Dan Sanchez and Travis Sanchez face a major dilemma: Is it finally time to cancel ChatGPT in favor of Google's Gemini 3? After years of loyalty to OpenAI, Dan breaks down why the new Gemini 3 and "Nano Banana Pro" models might be the superior choice for marketers handling heavy research and content creation. The brothers stress-test the tools, comparing personality, image generation capabilities, and workflow integration, while deciding if they should jump ship now or wait for OpenAI's rumored December counter-attack.
