Grok Auto-Configured a Home Router’s Guest Network
A smaller, very practical AI use case: Gene had Grok add a separate guest network for his IoT devices. He pointed it at the router’s admin page, and it handled the rest itself — checked existing settings, flagged that UPnP was still on, and created the new guest network with its own password, no manual click-through needed. A good real-world example of using an AI agent for an actual chore instead of just chatbot Q&A.

Little Snitch or Lulu — Know When Software Is Phoning Home
Darren’s recommendation was blunt: “Everybody that runs a Mac should have Lulu or Little Snitch.” Both sit quietly in the background and flag the moment any app tries to reach the outside world — useful for catching software quietly shipping data to servers you never approved. Little Snitch is the long-running paid option; Lulu is a free, open-source alternative built to do the same core job.

This Week in Startups — J-Cal’s Original Podcast, Still Going Three Days a Week
When Adam asked guest co-host Jason Calacanis if he still did This Week in Startups, he lit up: “No, no, I still do. It’s three days a week.” He described it as his original podcast, predating All-In, built around founders and investors, and genuinely thriving — three ads a show at $6,000 each, $18,000 per episode, sold out for the year in advance.
J-Cal credited consistency for the audience: “If you show up consistently and the habit gets built, you have that core audience.”

DH Unplugged — The Financial Markets Show Continues
An unprompted, genuine recommendation from Adam during the value-for-value shout-outs, on the same episode Jason Calacanis guest-hosted: “I need to tell everyone about a great value-for-value podcast, which is DH Unplugged. Andrew Horowitz has continued the show with the young Dvorak. So if you want to know what’s happening in the financial markets, that show continues.” Adam noted he’d been a weekly listener himself.

Arby’s Meat Cubes and a Surprisingly Good Reuben
Gene’s genuine, mixed take after an Arby’s run: the new “meat cubes” (half-ounce cubes of meat over potatoes or mac and cheese, about a buck a cube) are “a little overpriced for what it is, but it tastes pretty good.” The real surprise was the Reuben, which he called “way tastier than most fast food” — a solid result for a drive-thru chain.

Dave’s Garage — YouTube Channel
A genuine shout-out from Darren for Dave’s Garage, a YouTube channel run by a former Microsoft engineer credited with inventing Task Manager. Darren watches a couple videos a month and singled out a recent one — a breakdown of how AI coding agents talk to each other, from an actual working developer’s point of view — as “pretty interesting.” Real technical teardown content, not AI-hype commentary.
