Kevin spent the day of the podcast fixing things, whether broken or not, so that's how the episode starts. Mark has an encounter with a climate change denier who almost utters the words "global warming", but then catches himself in the nick of time. Unfortunately science has become a team sport, with political allegiance taking priority. New cars are too complicated. Kevin likes the old ones that are easy to work on.

Also, Mark and Kevin were, and probably still are, music snobs. That was a part of their personas as adolescents, and probably kept them from having more friends. The music snobbery leads to a discussion of aging rock and pop stars.

Jury duty is a thing most people don't want to do, but someone has too. They should pay more so people can do it without worrying about paying their bills. The guys talk about AI. It's artificial...is it intelligent (no)?

Finally, skateboarding is cool.
