Odysseus: The Fall — A Feature Film Made by One Guy for Under $25,000
Dana and Adam dug into a CNBC segment about Odysseus: The Fall, a two-and-a-half-hour, fully AI-generated retelling of the Odyssey from Fountain 0’s Ash Koosha and Tom Rogers — the same team behind the Tribeca-premiered Dreams of Violence. Per the CNBC guest: “It was one guy with his computer working at night for just under $25,000 that created this film… you’re looking at the future of filmmaking.” Not a Nolan-budget spectacle, but a genuine look at where AI filmmaking is headed — worth a watch out of curiosity alone.

Ox Ranch — Drive a Tank, Fire a Flamethrower, Bring Your Credit Card
Adam gave Dana Brunetti an enthusiastic pitch for Ox Ranch — the real-deal Texas experience where you can drive a WWII tank, shoot it, and fire full-auto Uzis, Tommy guns, and even a flamethrower. Adam’s pitch: “So the first thing we’ll do is you and I will go to Ox Ranch… Bring your credit card. And they have their own airstrip.” Dana confirmed he’s already shot there. If you want the most Texas afternoon imaginable, this is it.

The Land of Far Beyond — Adam’s Childhood Read He Wants to Turn Into an AI Movie
During the AI-filmmaking discussion, Adam brought up a book he read as a kid that he’s convinced would make a great movie: Enid Blyton’s The Land of Far Beyond, a 1942 retelling of Pilgrim’s Progress. “There’s this story I read as a kid… it’s based on the Pilgrim’s Progress, which is from 1678, public domain… I said I want to turn this into a movie.” He’s already started experimenting — feeding it into an AI model to generate cast cards and even an audio drama version. Public domain source material and a producer already trying to make it happen.

Never Tell the Truth on a Security Question
Dana’s own on-air “tip of the day” bit this episode, and it’s a genuinely good one: never answer bank/account security questions honestly. “When you have to do security questions for like bank stuff and your mother’s maiden name, street you lived on, your pet’s name… the tip with that is a lie. Don’t ever tell the truth on a security question.” Why it matters: those same three details are exactly what’s used to generate a “porn name” or “soap opera name” — a joke plenty of people have already posted publicly. Just remember whatever you make up.

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.
