It's no exaggeration to say that the internet would be nothing without Joe's Hottest Tips. In the 90s, millions of Americans bought PCs and they needed someone to give them Tips on how to log on, turn off their computer at night (not just the monitor!), and keep their mouseball clean. Noa's idol Joe Williams (Carson Mell) was the foremost Tips-giver of the era, but he fell off the radar as his Tips empire was pummeled by new media consolidation. Together they set sail on Joe's yacht to relive the glory days of the first Silicon Valley boom. Can Noa rekindle Joe's spark of innovation? Or will Joe help Noa see the light with some much-needed Tips for healthier living? Cast:Joe Williams … Carson MellNoa Lukas … Sam WestElena Lin … Zoe ChaoTom “Woz” Joyce … Mark ProkschLouie Anderson ...

Selling sex is illegal, but consenting to sexual activity by swapping cryptocurrency on the blockchain is innovation. That's the genius idea of Romio's founder Maya Rauss (Kate Berlant) whose brand of Silicon Valley-friendly techno-feminism has led to a career of fighting the exploitation of women's bodies online by profiting off that exploitation for herself. But Romio's contractors are struggling with crypto prices cratering mid-sex act, and the company's growth has been slowed by clashes with her ruthless competitors in the for-profit dating sphere. With Noa's own love life on the rocks, will he be able to help Romio convince its users to migrate all human relationships onto the blockchain? Cast: CEO Maya Rauss … Kate BerlantNoa Lukas … Sam WestElena Lin … Zoe ChaoBrontë ...

The self-driving car that can behave morally at 75 MPH. Should your car swerve into traffic to avoid a stroller, or hit and run and hope for the best? Self-driving cars face these kinds of questions every mile, and Drive Mind's advanced artificial intelligence can answer them. Founder Louis Taylor (Matt Oberg) has built a robust moral driving architecture that can weigh the value of a possum crossing the road versus a stalled van full of professional gamers, and Noa decides to take it for a test drive to see if it's road ready. Can Noa help Drive Mind pull onto the onramp of success, or will a bump in the road prove fatal to Drive Mind's ambitions? Cast: CEO Louis Taylor … Matt ObergNoa Lukas … Sam WestElena Lin … Zoe ChaoTom “Woz” Joyce … Mark ProkschHead Engineer … George KaremanFBI Agent Clark … Matt KlinmanLouis Taylor's Lawyer … Lauren AdamsCloud Refugee … Cathryn MudonNewscasters … Kelly Husdon, David Gerson, Lauren Adams, George Kareman, Julia Smith Created/Written by: Matt Klinman, Chris Sartinsky, Sam WestDirected by: Matt Klinman and Sam WestExecutive Producers: Matt Powers, Jeff Ross, Adam SachsProducers: Hanna Armour and Julia SmithCasting: Hanna Armour, JP Buck, Matt PowersSenior Director of Business Development: Willie NavarreLegal: David Melmed Smartr was produced by Western SoundExecutive Producer: Ben AdairTechnical director: Dan LeoneEditor and sound designer: Dan LeoneAssistant editor: Audrey NgoMix Engineer: Johnny Vince EvansAssistant engineer: Chaz SextonProduction assistants: Annet Rangel, Jefferson Yen  

The fridge so smart it can watch you eat, save you money, and convert to Judaism. YourFridge's freshness-sensing nose isn't just smelling your lettuce and discarding your moldy fruit. It's constantly buying, selling, and trading your food with other internet-connected smart fridges to get you the best deals on staples like manchego and apple cider vinegar, even if it has to record all your conversations and undercut your local supermarket to do it. But with YourFridge coming under fire from the anti-Semitic fringe, can Noa help CEO Catherine Goldberg (Debra DiGiovanni) embrace her roots and rediscover her patriotism? Cast: CEO Catherine Goldberg … Debra DiGiovanniNoa Lukas … Sam WestElena Lin ...

Medical care on demand, and it might even come from a doctor! Got a headache or a crushed limb? Spin the wheel and if you're lucky, you'll land on an experienced doctor. If not, the part-time food delivery person who helps you will be carefully following instructions beamed in by a team of doctors at Dr. Roulette's Remote Medical Center in Chennai, India. Dr. Roulette is already a hit with addicts and the chronically ill, but if founder Jessica Tavengar (Mitra Jouhari) is going to outcompete corrupt doctors and drive hospitals out of business, she'll need Noa's help with a serious moonshot. Cast:  CEO Jessica Tavengar … Mitra JouhariNoa Lukas … Sam WestBrontë ...

The social media app that lets you pay to make a celebrity look at you. You're nobody until a star acknowledges your existence, and Seemino facilitates "discoveries" by paying them to scroll through feeds of videos users make for them. Founder and former Hollywood exec Paula Rubenstein (Mamrie Hart) has her hands full dealing with restive celebs concerned about face-tracking software and fascist propaganda, but can Noa help her unlock a “deep” vein of value hiding right in front of her face? Cast: CEO Paula Rubenstein ...

Computer-generated headlines are making journalists, fact-checking, and objective truth obsolete. Noa visits AutoNews, which publishes millions of headlines daily directly onto social media with its powerful algorithm. But AutoNews isn't just crowding out mainstream competitors and inciting partisan rage. It's given birth to a movement of citizen investigators who plan to get to the bottom of a massive conspiracy involving Trump, Satan, pedophiles, and a hungry lizard. Will Noa and CEO Jared Marks (Nick Corirossi) change the media forever? Or will Jared be lost in a complicated plot of his company's own making? Cast: Founder Jared Marks ...

Matt Klinman is a) My best friend since Middle School and b) the Co-Star of High Science, a new show on HBO Max that features Paul Bettany as an educational talking bong. Matt's also something of a tech critic, who's gone viral with his explanations of how Facebook killed a once thriving digital comedy scene. Beyond his show premiering on 4/20, this was an ideal time for us to chat, given recent Musk vs. Substack machinations. We get into that, while also arguing a lot. This pod discussion touches on, but is not limited to:* High Science as the show where it's fun to learn* Trippy marine science facts* Matt thinks Musk attacked Substack because he “does things that suck because he sucks.” I demand a more granular explanation and we argue* Glass Onion is the most salient Musk satire. It's also highly annoying to me* Matt lashes out at Matt Taibbi for being Gen X* Matt thinks our artistic nadir is more related to economics than Wokeness. I think Matt's onto something but also in denial* Will AI kill us all? Do the nerds want to make it kill us all? This is a public episode.

You share your car and your home, now share your pool. Tech genius Noa Lukas visits Puel, whose pool-match algorithm finds the perfect pool filled with swimmers like you based on your demographic profile. Noa and CEO Alex Patterson (Tim Heidecker) dive into Puel's business model and navigate the choppy waters of early growth, like being banned from twenty states for accidentally violating the Civil Rights Act. Will Puel sink, or will Noa help them chart a course for profitability? Cast: CEO Alex Patterson ... Tim HeideckerNoa Lukas … Sam WestBrontë ... Claudia O'DohertyElena Lin ... Zoe ChaoMr. Ralph ...
