    S7E804: The Ghost in the Machine

    Buckle up for a hilariously chaotic ride as Michael and Bob clash over the future of transportation. Michael kicks off the episode sounding the alarm on the hidden dangers of Waymos and driverless vehicles, arguing passionately for real humans behind the wheel of every rideshare. Bob, on the other hand, embraces the robotic takeover, professing his deep love for self-driving cars simply because he'd rather avoid awkward small talk altogether—ultimately dreaming of a world where every vehicle on the road drives itself. The debate takes a sharp turn as Michael unpacks his notoriously low tolerance for human friction, sounding off on clashing music tastes, language barriers, and general passenger discomfort. That segues into a hilarious recap of his recent trip to Charlotte, where a fresh batch of awkward encounters left him questioning humanity. Meanwhile, MJ pitches the ultimate compromise: a fully customizable Uber experience where you actually get to pick your vibe rather than taking whatever random ride the algorithm hands you. To wrap things up, Bob puts on his Silicon Valley hat to brainstorm wild new ideas for improving today's stubborn AI and consumer apps. Tune in for laughs, rants, and a completely unfiltered look at modern commuting. What's your ultimate rideshare preference: the silent predictability of a robotaxi or the unpredictable adventure of a human driver?

    Savaged10 Bonus Series: Babysitting, Boats & Bad Hunting Trips (Part 2)

    Welcome back to Part 2 of the Savaged Bonus Series, where Michael dives deeper into the chaos, frustrations, and absolute madness of his recent hunting trip up to the Georgia/Tennessee mountains with his buddies Tibbs and Makayla.

From there, the story hits the water with a terrifyingly close encounter. Michael recounts Tibbs's utterly disastrous boating skills—narrowly dodging jagged rocks in the lake—which ultimately culminated in both of his companions passing out cold in the boat. That left Michael completely stranded with the duty of steering them all safely back to the cabin.

    In Part 1 of this hard-hitting episode, Michael dives headfirst into the massive blockbuster legal fallout facing Big Tech, breaking down Meta’s staggering multi-billion-dollar settlement with U.S. states over failed "Child Safety Measures" on Facebook and Instagram.

The Catch-22 Clause: How billions of the settlement are tightly conditioned on whether rival platforms—like TikTok, YouTube, and Snapchat—are forced to adopt matching youth safety restrictions. Mandatory Platform Overhauls: A close look at the sweeping policy changes hitting the apps, including enforced default daily screen-time limits (capped at two hours), strict midnight-to-6 a.m. night-time usage blocks, and enhanced age-assurance technology to keep kids under 13 off the platforms.
