Check out the full episode below and scroll for Kevin and Lukas’ one-offs.
What's an underrated cultural topic or phenomena right now?
Kevin: 2025, mahjong is on the up. I’m calling it right now, sleeper hit.
If you could banish one social app forever, what would it be?
Lukas: Well, I want to say TikTok, but I’m worried that that’s just going to age me a bit.
Kevin: I mean, should we just get to the big one and say Facebook and get it all over with?
Things you’ve heard of are good, but are skeptical of?
Kevin: Alright people seem to like this show “Severance” but I think that it’s pretty underwhelming.
Lukas: I actually kind of like it! At least for the aesthetics..
Kevin: Ok, yeah sure the office furniture is fine. But the TV show is…not good.
Offline-ish recommendation?
Kevin: Ok I don’t know if this is true, but I’ve heard that if you take a kayak into the river above the arboretum, you can disembark and get in without paying admissions, and I’m dying to know if that’s real or not but it sounds great.
Social niche or account we should all tap into?
Lukas: Brad Troemel is always great. Also, my friend @postp0stpost is a good follow, too.
