The Duuude kicks things off by talking coins—specifically, the end of silver in quarters and the slow demise of the penny, which leads the guys down a rabbit hole of gas prices, taxes, and how rounding up or down might change... well, probably nothing.
This somehow pivots to New York City's new "communist" mayor, free housing, and the logistics of delivering anything in a city that charges a fortune just to cross a bridge.
But the real tech news? Rich got mad as hell at Windows and... (drumroll)... he switched to Linux! He shares his journey of telling Windows 11 to "hold my beer," turning off BitLocker, and discovering the clean, crisp world of Linux Mint Cinnamon. The guys dive into whether you can really game on Linux, the power of root access, and breathing new life into old computers.
Bryan jumps in from his truck to explain the loud, 15-hour-day-filled world of "zipper" fracking, and the guys get a new subscriber (Hi, Deanna!).
The conversation then careens into a UPS plane crash, "rapid unscheduled disassemblies," a slammed Mustang throwing sparks, low rider regrets, and the existential dread of getting older, needing hearing aids, and trying to sleep with a fan on (or not).
Finally, the guys tackle the "Eliza effect" of people marrying AI, the fracturing of pop culture thanks to Napster and Netflix, and why we might all just need a good dose of boredom.
