Thanks for the show. 👍'd
love this episode
Cara always has the based takes.
Also to George's point about Guitar Hero, GH3 basically served as my entry point into metal and I still love many of those songs today.
I love the live audience shows. Classic Dr. Santa Maria self doubt and victory. Classic Bob being roused by brothers and OMG at the end. LOVE IT. Thanks for all the entertainment and science knowledge SGU. So does this mean the Coneheads are actually from Texas? "We come from France" LOL.
This episode isn’t in my podcast app
A.I. making new antibiotics is great. However it’s just as easy to train one on pathogenic viruses and have it spit out the instructions for the next pandemic. It’s frightening and amazing.
First!
Reaction videos got a mention, recently a UFO guy, who happens to live in Texas y'all, did a reaction video on UA-cam to one of his reaction videos about another UFO guy's video. No I didn't watch the whole thing. 🤡
All music will soon be Back Street Boys level...Jay is right...but it'll evolve eventually(I hope anyway...). Many jobs are going to go away, I don't believe that's the issue. I think the issue is how do we survive without an income. Musicians or otherwise...wtf do we do...
Also...music is subjective??......talent wise, Cardi B = Mozart???????? No...music is garbage now, stop pretending like it's not. You know it in your heart, but can't admit it out loud or Gen Z(and younger)will lose their SHIT
This episode kinda sucked
How could you not be entertained by their back and forth about AI and music?!
@@constablebrew I agree, I wish I could have contributed to the music discussion.
