The One Where They Don't Get to the Oscars (Guest: Matt Baughman)

In this dynamic episode of Don't Encourage Us, our always delightful hosts chat with theater star Matt Baughman about his latest performance in The Play That Goes Wrong, streaming shows Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Beef, restaurant entrepreneurship, the Paramount sale, and the Apple Vision Pro. The trio debates the potential societal impact of having computers on our faces, recalling the fate of Google Glass and speculating on the future of human-computer interaction. The discussion takes a serious turn with Neuralink's human trials, raising ethical questions about technological advancement versus privacy. This episode offers a whirlwind tour through the intersections of culture, technology, and ethics, all delivered with the show's usual acerbic wit and insightful man-splaining.
