Transcripts

Scott's AI assistant sends a distress email about Peter, a budget robot vacuum keeps threatening to jump, and Scott flees npm for a Rust-based web framework.

Peter pours an Atlética NA copper, Scott pours a Sapporo in tree pose, and the talk runs from backup sagas and leaky-roof tenants to Peter's new Scratch Itch Software, Scott's voice transcription app, and the fact that Claude is editing this very episode.

Scott and Peter post up at Medford Brewing Company with a twelve-glass flight and taste their way through an IPA, a witbier, a Mexican lager, a stout, a bitter, and the Rude Panda porter — with the usual detours into trail runs, Guinness, and Claude Code projects.

For only the second time ever, Peter and Scott share a table — at Harpoon Brewery in Windsor, Vermont — with two full flights, a pile of food, and what Scott calls the drunkest FWB ever. Expect a Boston Irish Stout vs. Guinness debate, mislabeled beers, a cameo from our waitress Kim, and a genuine deep-dive into whether Claude Code is getting dumber.

Liv from New York on a Saturday, it's Peter! Peter's worst hotel adventure ever, Peter runs and drinks coffee, Apple loves bugs, and Scott loves Wispr Flow.

Coffee! Watches! Troubleshooting! Gifts! And if we send you a video, PLAY IT!!!

Peter goes to the Genius Bar. Peter drinks coffee and Scott drinks tea. Listen while we Watch (or talk about watches, anyway).

Cults are bad, unless they're good. Peter and Scott talk about the psychology of changing your beliefs. Also, Ghostty, AI, and COFFEE!!

Peter's fasting, but he still drinks coffee. Scott was coffee fasting, but now he's not. Peter's got the Sophos jacket, and they both have thumbs up for their drinks!

Welcome to the Menu Bar! No, that was a different podcast. But we do talk about menu bar management apps, watches, Overcast, and airlines!! And the stupid Ecobee.

Peter has some Apple things, Scott gets lowballed while Peter gets highballed, and overall it's a short espresso sized episode.

Peter has a calendar scheduling AI assistant and 9 extra time zones. Scott has anxiety about the sound quality of Peter's impromptu Unsere Weisse Berliner Kindl review.

It’s all Yubikey all the time as Peter and Scott perform live technical exercises for your listening displeasure!

Scott and Peter do some live coffee drinking and AI agent installs while pondering how much f word is too much f word.

Scott and Peter talk a lot, and this time it’s all about the Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar watch. Also, GPT 5, FoodNoms AI, YouTube Premium, and a little vibe coding.

Peter doesn’t want to think different, he wants to run different. Scott just wants his automations to run different. They both watch Adam Mockler, and they both have thoughts about the current political discourse.

Coffees, Macs, Kumas, and Mocklers... it's like a grab bag of topics. Also Peter does the math on AppleCare One, Scott tells him how to log into meetings with Dato, and both are angry at reminders.

Scott went to Japan (and wishes he was still there). Peter went to Japan too, in 2002. They both like Shinkansen and Japanese food. Scott Spotlighted Raycast (that’s a new verb), Scott and Peter both bought refurbished M1 Mac minis to use as Tailscale exit nodes, Peter plays Virtual Tabletop games, and it’s the Year of 5% Linux on the desktop!

It’s another blurred line and another line blurred! Peter kills two podcasts with one story by merging Blurring the Lines with Friends with Brews again, which is good for Scott because it means he gets to talk to Adam again. Brews, books, and things we’re watching!

Is it Whisky, or is it Whiskey? None of us care, because John Chidgey is here to tell us about Whisky Whiskey, his video podcast! Don’t worry, there’s an audio only version for people like me who don’t watch things. John, Peter, and Scott also bemoan the state of AI, software in general, and Peter’s body.
