LaMDA AI isn't only an obvious con by Google. It's a total failure from a linguistic perspective too and is probably an egirl simp. L.A. and James show why this glorified chatbot can't write a proper story... yet.
Host: L.A. Labuschagne - delayed the episode so she could plan, organize, and attend a formal university dinner. Never again. Co-host: Backsberg 2021 Kosher Chardonnay Co-host: James Krake, sci-fi author, had no part in delaying the episode

Ever wanted to have your very own catgirl isekai experience? There's a religion for that: the Church of Evolutionism. Today, James and I interview the founder and prophetess of the internet's newest religion, Kamidere, and what her plans are to save the world. We talk cryonics, theology, alcohol, and why science fiction is actually divine. It's ALPHA-LAMDA-OMEGA time.

Co-host: A good house blend of cherry tobacco
Co-host: James Krake, sci-fi aficionado

Stories are like gambling. You better know when it is time to stop.
Today Waxworks, writer of the Hagwarders webcomic, comes on to explain why you need to end your stories at the right time. After all, you wouldn't want to become Marvel/DC, would you?
We also review some horror media, Waxworks tells me the best short story I ever heard, and I'm fondly reminded of days spent reading Conan comics out of order - before I discovered online piracy.

People Mover is one of those books that you'll read because of the memes. Today, Zulu and I discuss why that's a dumb idea.
For the Unreal Press Studio's 100 YouTube subscriber special, I tracked down a bona fide mercenary to reveal the truth about fighting in the Ukrainian Conflict. Jaloo returns, too, but only to get the details on all the expat weirdos hanging out in Ukraine before the war. Now it is just full of Russians. And the brave men (Farva) willing to die to see the nation free.
Host: L.A. Labuschagne - violent South African, gonzo author, former expat
Co-host: Boschendal Blanc de Noir
Co-host: Jaloo, Bronze Age Enthusiast and Luxembourgish Patriot

Bright Lights, Big City by Jay McInerney is a novel about bad people and worse choices. Read on as you - yes, you! - suffer a harrowing 2nd person journey through the most debauched club scene America has to offer: 1980s New York City. This novel has everything: cocaine, office politics, vicious weasels and some damn good references. After finishing this episode, you should definitely figure out who the hell the book's target audience is.

I interview a frat bro, Jakes. He tells me the dark secrets and depraved traditions of his fraternity - a residence at a prominent South African university.
While we South Africans don't refer to our residences as fraternities/sororities, and they aren't associated with American GLOs either, they're nevertheless bar for bar, rhyme for rhyme the same deal. I've spent my college career in one.
Imagine dozens of late teens and twenty-something college students with zero real supervision, plenty of booze, and the horror stories to match. They're in the university papers weekly for their endless achievements and controversies - and sometimes mainstream news too. Stellenbosch, anyone?

Co-host: Pimms No.1 dashed with Sprite

I talk about African Psycho by Alain Mabanckou, a novel of questionable morals and unquestionable okay-ness.
African Psycho is a mystery/coming-of-age/chudcore novel about Greg, a wimpy kinda guy straight outta the Congo-Brazzaville slums and with intentions that make those slums look like a nice place to live. Is this depiction of sub-Saharan African life accurate? And how does it compare to American Psycho?
