Listen to two unqualified historians time travel through pop culture. We start by diving into the pop culture that raised us, and then time travel using AI as our messy third co-host to compare today's equivalent and predict tomorrow's future. We get the history wrong. AI gets the present wrong. The future? Absolutely unhinged. But that's the magic. It's nostalgia, nonsense, and nonstop fun as we compare the past, roast the present, and side‑eye the predictions from AI.
