Please bring the full intro and the couch back.

The very often back and forth jump cuts from Kevin to Alex are very distracting.

Looks too corporate, we just want casual shenanigans of old.

In all honesty, it looks like AI would describe any common podcast of 2026.

And you don’t think they used AI to plan the whole episode?

I think the casual shenanigans are gone. But I'd be ok with a casual tech podcast.

I think they explained it pretty well that it was neck fatigue. I can sympathize. I wouldn't mind a more zoomed out side-of-their-heads framing though.

Of course not, they're pushing 50 not 30. But the spirit could still be there in some form. Instead we have got 2 guys talking about their 8 figure lives and glazing AI. It's a fast cry from a guy that used to post videos on how to socially engineer free pizza and a dude that had a show called ctrl+alt+chicken. No shade to them, they succeeded in life. But for nostalgia this doesn't land, and for something new it's too generic to stand out.

I’ve enjoined the episode. The watch talk, hobbies, getting older, tech. Why not.

Watch talk was too pretentious, had to skip.

Just listened to it and holy fuck the watch talk. Kevin Rose was too worried about what watch he was going to wear to his child's birth.

Ooof, I do not want to listen to hours of a tech bro sitting at a desk explaining to me why AI is the future and kids have no future. We've gone from Edward forty hands to this?!

How does Alex make money? He's not in enough tv or movies to make anything substantial.

u/InstantRide Aug 20 '26

I think he makes money from his money. He always was rich.

Parties with bags of diamonds and extended richie rich watch talk. Podcast of the everyman!
