Due to once more technical issues with Twitch, we had to suspend the live recording and continue without the Twitch stream, so it’s just me and Ili talking for two hours as usual…
In this episode, we comment on the events of Springfield and how people are kind of insane about this story. Also our thoughts about the PS5 Pro and its impact, then get into a side tangent about why villains are now viewed as heroes and how we may have gotten there. We also have a story about how a man could make money via Spotify via AI-generated songs and get royalties as a result. We also end with a story about Pink Floyd and them selling their catalog and how Roger Waters may be making that harder for them to make money off the sale.
