A Non-Chiefs Episode: Save a Horse, Ride a Mummy
Jonathan and James dive deep into the mysteries of the universe—why are we blindly trusting AI like it’s our GPS leading us into a lake? Why haven’t we found intelligent life yet? And, most importantly, why do mummies smell good? Along the way, they discuss the global chicken population, time-traveling hygiene problems, and the fine art of placing ribeyes on the top shelf when the stakes are high.

Show Notes
In this episode, Jonathan and James tackle life's most pressing questions with their usual mix of humor, skepticism, and existential dread. Why do people trust AI to make decisions for them, even when it's clearly wrong? How is it possible that intelligent life should be everywhere in the universe, yet we've found nothing? And in perhaps the most unsettling discovery of the week—Egyptian mummies actually smell amazing.
They also go on wild detours about the global chicken census (which James wildly overestimates), reminisce about pandemic-era absurdities, and consider whether aliens are just watching us like a cosmic reality show. Oh, and if you're wondering what a 2 AM walk with a dog and zero signs of human life feels like—it might just be the start of an alien abduction.
Come for the thought-provoking discussion, stay for the revelation that maybe—just maybe—you should save a horse and bang a mummy.
