Analog Spectrum
Analog Spectrum – Doug and Tony - are two Gen X 50-something guys who have managed to stay friends for around thirty years. They enjoy analyzing and debating entertainment, (pop) culture, and the general concepts of society through their unique, often retrospective, lens. They may know some things, but they don’t know a lot. They are doing this strictly for fun. Take that as a warning that you probably shouldn’t expect much; however, if we’re super fortunate, they might be able to bridge the gap between the analog years and our current digital days while providing an interesting perspective on several fascinating and noteworthy topics that clearly don’t matter all that much. email us at analogspectrum@gmail.com -- Twitter: @analogspectrum -- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnalogSpectrumDT

The rules: Pick a movie the other hasn't seen, swap, watch, and discuss!Doug's choice was Disturbing Behavior (1998). In this 1990 horror flick, James Marsden, Katie Holmes, and Nick Stahl play 20-something high school students who face off against mind-controlled uber-jocks in small-town Washington State. Is it any good? That's not a rhetorical question because I really don't know. Tony picked Death of Stalin (2017), which features an ensemble cast that includes Steve Buscemi, Simon Russell Beale, Jason Isaacs, and Jeffrey Tambor. This is truly a modern classic, but did they both like it? You'll have to watch or listen to find out!
Doug's selection: Disturbing Behavior (1998) - IMDb
Tony's selection: The Death of Stalin (2017) - IMDb

As promised, here is part two of our first automotive restoration podcast. "Part two of our first…" That doesn't make a lot of sense, but we've never been accused of making sense! I digress.In this episode, we peer under the hood of Tony's rapidly burgeoning WRX obsession. If you remember from the last episode, Doug is already several miles down the restoration road. Tony, on the other hand, has yet to leave the garage. Of course, that doesn't stop him from pontificating on his experiences up to this point. Also, lucky us, he's going to tell us all about the history of Subaru and what makes a boxer engine so special. Try not to fall off the edge of your seat while losing your mind with excitement! Clearly, this is one of the best "guys that don't know a lot about cars talking about cars" podcasts ever!

For this podcast, we shift gears! Also, yes, that's a pun! Back on track, Tony just purchased a 2003 WRX, and Doug's been turning wrenches on an AC Cobra kit car for a few months. There is no avoiding it! We must talk about the rabbit hole that these two guys are currently sliding down. Welcome to their journey! Seriously, this is just the start of a gas-and-oil-fueled journey! I don't think this is the last we've heard of their money-pit projects! I don't know where it's going, but I have a feeling it will be a crazy and sometimes dangerous ride! You better buckle up!

Drew's last episode! These were posted out of sequence, so unfortunately, there isn't a grand gesture of appreciation for our departing guest host. Just know he had a fantastic run of episodes, and we've enjoyed having Doug's son on the podcast. He will be back!
Regarding the episode, this one is pretty simple and not too stressful. Drew went to Florida on vacation, and Tony took a trip to Montana. We did learn one thing: today's youth don't party like the old folks used to. We also discovered that Tony likes to fly fish. That's pretty much it!

In this week's episode, Tony, Doug, and Drew (still sitting in the guest chair) took on the intriguing world of artificial intelligence and ChatGPT! Tony unleashed a rant about Apple being a bunch of virtue-signaling capitalists using slave labor, and Doug didn't hold back either, calling Google out on similar shenanigans. If you're wondering if they've ever even tried GPT, the answer is "yep!" They got their hands dirty with that chunk of AI! Tony pretty much admits to using it all the time. Scary-smart yet surprisingly helpful, it's a double-edged sword that had them both intrigued and a tad uneasy. Join them as they share their quirky experiences with this AI marvel while trying to keep their wits intact.
Editor's note: I tried to get Chat GPT to write this intro. The above is a highly edited facsimile of what it gave me. So, yeah…it wasn't great.
Also, here is the prompt we put into Chat GPT:
Write a short story using the following parameters:My hero is an ordinary man, he works as an auto mechanic, but he's been thrust into the world of espionage. He must find his girlfriend who's been taken for organ harvesting, it is set in the near future, and the world is on the brink of an apocalypse. While he is inexperienced, he is a brawler and knows how to handle small guns. The genre is science fiction.
