Love Hate Relationship

Love: Weightlifting

Alex finally lines up and makes an attempt at talking about his favorite sport, Weightlifting. He says a little on its history, a lot on the misconceptions around it, and soft-pitches it as a spectator sport. Andy, meanwhile, finds the drama in the stories, and there is minimal snickering at the word “Snatch.”

Hate: AI Art

Andy uses the Hate segment to talk about new horizons in AI Art. He discusses how it screws over actual human creators, the creepiness of some TikTok filters, and why we should maybe hesitate on them. Alex talks privacy issues, and comes up with a terrifying Mario/frog image idea.

Relationship: Kumar (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle)

This episode’s question sees an asker wondering if it’s wrong for him to use his partner’s expensive hair dryer on his testicles. Alex talks about deliberate communication, Andy talks about grace and Halo, and there are (of course) autism references.
