About this episode

John and The Duchess discuss a CBS News incident, office conflicts, and an AI podcast experiment.

Scott Pelley walked into a staff meeting on new CBS exec producer Nick Bilton's first day, publicly ambushed him in front of the entire newsroom, and got himself fired on the spot. John and the Duchess break down the CBS News meltdown — Bari Weiss, the Pelley termination letter, and why Stephen Colbert losing $40 million a year explains everything. Also on deck: a South Carolina detective pulled his service weapon on a coworker for microwaving fish (John is largely sympathetic), a New Jersey man beat his wife to death with a barbell after 40 years of "long, simmering hatred," and John built an AI podcast on Poddi.com in 15 minutes and immediately regretted it. Deuce calls in twice. Voicemails get unhinged. "Money Us" is born. Topics Covered: AM Radio Debate — John claimed his truck had no AM radio. Deuce called in to correct him — it's federally mandated for emergencies. John found it buried in a submenu. AI Podcast Experiment (Poddi.com) — John spun up an AI podcast called "The News with Jamingo Bot" in 15 minutes. It picked its own voice (boring British guy), wrote its own script, and published to Spotify. He played the clip. It sounds terrible and you can't give it your own…
