Updated Bimonthly

Hosted by Jason Parsons, this is a show where comedy and music collide — sometimes beautifully, sometimes hilariously off-key. Each episode features a funny guest, a musician with a story (and maybe a few questionable life choices), and plenty of unpredictable bits along the way. Because the world could use more laughs, more music… and, another podcast to go with it.

ChatGPT - G.O.A.T. in the Living Room

In this first episode, host JP interviews ChatGPT (yes, the AI itself) in a hilariously awkward human-vs-machine conversation.
