Episode 7: Tom Brady clones his dog? Chatgpt doesn't know the year and we have our first guest.

About this episode

The Gen X Men are back, and this week Bill and Gary are bringing some serious energy — because for the first time on the show, they’ve got a guest joining them at the table. The guys welcome none other than TJ Rives (you may know him as @BucSidelineGuy, the longtime sideline voice on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers broadcast network, SiriusXM, and a man who has seen more NFL sidelines than most of us have seen lawn chairs). TJ jumps in for a wide-ranging conversation that hits everything from sports to pop culture to the slow existential crisis Gen Xers feel every time one of our favorite movies turns Forty-freaking-years old.The episode kicks off with TJ giving an update on Steinbrenner High School (yes, that's a thing) before diving into the NFL trade deadline which is always part strategy, part chaos, and part “why did THAT team do THAT?” TJ gives some inside perspective on how front offices think, which teams are actually all-in, and why deadlines in professional sports always seem to bring out equal parts brilliance and panic. Next up...if Tom Brady comes up in conversation, well, you have to talk the latest Brady news. He cloned his dog. Or so is the rumor. So what is the REAL motive for Brady? Is this the next TB12 outgrowth? Cloning? (and yes, he is more handsome now than he was 10 years ago. Facts.)Next up is the guys lamenting the loss of college sports innocence and why it feels weird to have failed G Leaguers going back to college for a buck (or 100,000 of them). This isn't the college sports of our youth.And because time is a cruel and hilarious prank, the group reflects on hitting anniversaries of movies from our childhood and realizing they’re approaching 40th and 50th anniversaries. Ghostbusters. Back to the Future. Caddyshack. Time moves on even if Gary insists he is still 35. It’s not that we’re getting older — it’s that the calendar is clearly broken.In the final segment, Bill and Gary take a brief and necessary moment to address the glitch in the simulation: Duck.AI recently insisted Jason Kelce is dead, and Chatgpt completely forgot what year it is. The guys break down what happened, why AI sometimes hallucinate facts, and how the machines may not be taking over just yet — though they might need a calendar.
