Brian discusses his air conditioning issues and the world of illegal refrigerants while touching on various tech and pop culture topics.

After getting pitched a $35,000 AC replacement, he consults ChatGPT, invokes his coolant rights, and discovers the wonderful world of “illegal” refrigerant. Also: aerial floods, Comcast surrendering to piracy, a possible Great Night landline hotline, Tom Merritt’s BTS business trip, asshole blackjack theology, video iPods, Zunes, the first iPhone, vibe-coded websites, and an AI treadmill coach that is trying to murder Justin.
