AI Just Did Two Days Of My Work In 10 Minutes
Alex has spent three days deep in a new AI tool and walked into the studio looking like a conspiracy theorist. What he built in minutes would have taken a research team days. Troy is still getting lost on trail runs without water. This episode is part gear talk, part existential crisis, and part proof that the future just arrived whether you're ready or not.
In this episode:
- Troy's been getting lost on trail runs and nearly dying of dehydration in the bush
- The full breakdown on running hydration gear and why you should never buy Runly
- Enrique Zapata smashed the 24-hour pull-up world record with 12,345 reps
- A family at a Sydney steakhouse pulled armpit hair onto their food to dodge a $600 bill
- Alex discovers AI agents and loses his mind over what they can do
- Matt Schumer's viral article about AI replacing white-collar jobs in 6-12 months
- Why tradesmen might be the last ones standing in the AI revolution
- Operators who watch you fix something and then destroy it trying to copy you
- The Norwegian Olympic biathlete who confessed to cheating on live TV
- Tim Caprazac confirmed as the next guest with a 12-week training plan for Troy
