In this episode of Overtired, hosts Jeff, Brett, and Christina discuss a variety of topics ranging from outdoor experiences with mosquitoes and birds to in-depth health conversations involving weight loss drugs and mental health updates….

Vacations and day jobs, AI search and web traffic, laptops and browser wars.

Our hosts talk about hating the city you live in, which muppets would be the best cellmates, anarchy, and Taylor Swift.

Jeff is on Spring Break, so Christina and Brett keep the show going with a heavily tech-oriented episode. From security back doors to complaining about Apple software, it's all the tech talk you could want.

Erin Dawson, fresh off her latest tour, joins the gang to tell tales from the road. Plus the much-anticipated picks of the week!

The gang waxes nostalgic about classic viral sites, discusses the best RSS readers, and gets back into the Mental Health Corner after a couple weeks off.

A somewhat manic episode that covers everything (BUT the Mental Health Corner, which is a 404 again). Kicking it off with an in memoriam app pick, opining about Microsoft Word and Excel, and the Grammy talk you knew was coming.

Bryan Guffey returns to talk coffee, religion, and mental health, possibly all at once. Maybe.

Merlin Mann joins the show to talk mental health, generative AI, and be an all around fun guy.

Yeah, it's another 2-hour episode. Jay Miller is back to talk retail therapy, keyboards, and Tetris. We threw in the usual grAPPtitude picks, so don't miss 'em!

Alex Cox joins the crew to talk about mental health, Raspberry Pi, the New York Times, and some awesome Grapptitude picks for the week.

Taylor Swift is Time's Person of the Year, mostly thanks to our tireless promotion at Overtired. Brett's having dark thoughts and the gang helps him clarify a few things.

Brett and Jeff hold the fort down, with mental health checkins and some very, very nerdy talk of clean installs, Brett's projects, and their favorite apps.

The crew is back together again, talking about internalized homophobia and the Grammys, but in different segments. That was a weird sentence. Maybe I shouldn't be allowed to write show descriptions.

Jay Miller joins Brett and Christina to talk about life in Developer Relations, a little bit of Taylor Swift, and some intriguing app discussions.

A little dive into Guardians of the Galaxy and Brett's history with raccoons. The group does mental health, Grapptitude… and ‘Grapptibitching.'

The gang's all here once again to talk mental health, macOS video reactions, and our favorite software of the week.

Developer Jay Miller joins Brett and Jeff to talk mental health, espresso machines, and, of course, our picks for Grapptitude this week.

Jeff is back from Africa, and the gang is ready to dig into mental health. Everyone has stories to share.

Brett, Christina, and Bryan Guffey talk about the social network landscape, a bit of TV, and some Grapptitude picks to love.

Erin Dawson joins Brett and Christina to discuss how to spend drink tickets, the origins of hashish, Titan implosions, and picks for grAPPtitude.

The gang's all here to mourn the death of long-time friend of the show, Yeti. Plus, plumbing adventures, musical diversions, VisionPro, Mac Gaming, and some great GrAPPtitude picks.

Christina is off to see Taylor Swift, so Brett and Jeff hold down the fort. Hiking for mental health, Markdown, file management and your weekly Grapptitude.

The gang's back and ready to chat about Apple Savings Accounts, insecure TLDs, and tab management.

Christina and Brett talk Tucker Carlson, Don Lemon, Single Drunk Female, the resurgence of RSS, and their favorite apps.

All three hosts are back this week, and the discussion ranges from favorite bookstores to favorite window managers, with a healthy dose of mental health in between.

Jeff's gone this week, so Overtired returns to Original Recipe with Christina and Brett talking about Satanic Panics, TV, eating gluten free, and finding the shortest lines on your Disney vacation.

Christina interviews Jeff on the years he spent going back and forth to pre-war Iraq, and about his ill-fated post-war trip. Then it's on to product placement in The White Lotus and, of course, Grapptitude.
