This week we're diving into everyone's favorite hot topic: Artificial Intelligence! Whether Terminator and i, Robot are your favorite movies, you thinks LLMs are heavenly, or you want to know what AI's favorite drink is, we've got you covered.

We're talking about what AI is, what AI isn't, and where AI is going from here. And wow, what a journey we're taking with the cocktails that we're drinking. You should try them too and let us know what your thoughts are. How could a human change it up to make it even better?

It's Valentine's Day and we're talking all things love today!

We're exploring the tech that we love with some drinks we love. And don't forget to bring your loved ones in on the exploration.

We're bringing in kicks of nostalgia with old gaming consoles, having real talk about social media, and then bringing up some of our favorite random tech that you might want to look into getting for yourself.

We have to go back to one of our first loves for the first cocktail (Old Fashioned, we're looking at you). Our second drink is one that Joseph has been loving the smell of in the Tavern the last few weeks. And our third drink pairing is that good, ole faithful flight board.

We didn't set timers for ourselves this time, but we also barely had any notes, so you get a long version of us gabbing about stuff we love. And who knows, maybe you'll love it too!

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!

This week we're taking a field trip from the bar up to the kitchen with our special guest: Allison Ruff!

Joey's favorite chef is showing us around the Inn's kitchen with some of her favorite kitchen tech, while she preps us an amazing Valentine's Day dinner. If you take notes, you can make the same thing next week for your favorite sweetheart!

We're talking Sous Vide, Ninja Prestige, and Cast Iron Skillets (some of the best tech doesn't have wires!) while we're sipping on three different cocktails: New York Sour, Siesta, and a Strawberry Gin Shrub cocktail.
