About this episode

LaToya takes over the episode discussing her lack of sleep, pop culture, and Barry's book publishing success, along with a brief chat about AI.

LaToya practically takes over this episode. Having had only 3 hours of sleep and just getting back from running errands with Gwen, LaToya manages to hijack almost the first twenty minutes of the show. She’s talking on fumes despite also having to work on payroll. Barry graciously allows it. Talk turns to television, LaToya’s news/pop culture blackout, and Barry’s thriving venture in book publishing. He’s happily writing and could even stop writing for a year and still be publishing new material. However, we know that will never happen. The episodes also include a brief chat about our world with AI.
