Kevin reveals he has aphantasia, aka the inability to conjure mental images, which he says disqualifies him from certain forms of _ahem_ nostalgia. The pair dive into the existential horror of AI-enabled children’s toys that suggest you play with knives and explore kinks. On a lighter note, converting vintage cars to electric sparks a surprisingly feasible business idea. Waymo’s freeway rollout gets love, as the duo dreams of an L.A. where robots take the wheel and people take naps. Meanwhile, Michael Burry shorting AI stocks makes Kevin wonder if we’re still in early-internet territory or just early-stage delusion. Bezos launches an AI company because of course he does, and Nintendo drops the first look at its live-action _Zelda_ movie, which may or may not have been necessary. Also: eggnog aging, budgeting apps, and a play that made Alex fear for his life. It’s an episode.\nChapter Markers\n\n00:00:00 - Kevin's First Sip in 7 Months \n00:00:56 - Welcome to Episode 23 \n00:02:58 - Rethinking Alcohol Rules \n00:07:44 - Aged Eggnog: Discuss \n00:09:25 - The Two-Two-Two Rule Returns \n00:12:15 - Birthday Trips and Holiday Plans \n00:14:08 - LA Auto Show Highlights \n00:15:14 - Converting Classic Cars to EV \n00:17:47 - EV Startups: Why It’s Hard \n00:19:20 - Zelda Movie: First Look \n00:20:26 - Who Is Wes Ball? \n00:22:53 - AI Toys Gone Wild \n00:24:49 - Kuma Bear’s Kink Talk \n00:33:48 - Predator and The Red Carpet \n00:34:47 - Christmas Music Timing War \n00:37:05 - Kevin Has Aphantasia\n00:40:49 - The Spank Bank Problem \n00:43:44 - Creativity With Constraints \n00:52:56 - Waymo Hits the Freeway \n00:53:52 - Driverless Rides + Paranormal Play \n01:02:47 - Game Awards: Who’s Nominated \n01:08:42 - Burry Bets Against AI \n01:10:53 - AI: Bubble or...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/FVBzbkaZZZPkyv1inlFX4Qp91HjvWEfnciC9MzqRQnQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hYzA4/ZmFmMjRiMDQwYzFk/YTZkYjFmMjBiYzUx/MWZiZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
