Chris & Alexei are joined by Amy Gasaway (@aimestocheese) to talk rip reels, Mr. Beast job interview, and artificial intelligence – as a matter of fact, here is what the AI wrote about this episode: “It is not clear what the topic of the conversation is or what the speakers are discussing. They mention Campbell's cream of broccoli soup, soccer, a book called "Stranger in a Strange Land," and someone named Kyle. They also mention a podcast called the Sizzle Reel and give various ways to contact them, such as their email and phone number. They mention that they have a lot of content to cover in a short amount of time and that they have received complaints from listeners. However, the conversation is disjointed and it is difficult to understand the overall point or purpose of the discussion.” Call ~THE COLD LINE~ and ask a question: 332-333-4361 (we might play it on the show!) send yr questions to @sizzlereelgang on ig and twitter (or sizzlereelgang at gmail.com) and follow @shishkinproductions on tiktok --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
