The Internet Had a Good Run | Ep. 328
In this episode:
- The Pope gets hung up on by customer service.
- Ask Jeeves officially exits the internet.
- Google turns search into a zero-click AI answer machine.
- Iceland proves the four-day workweek is not a fantasy.
- Chipotle says the fix for smaller portions is “just ask for more.”
- Scott somehow makes this about Subway, lettuce, and sliced ketchup.
Listen if you care about customer service rage, the death of old-school internet curiosity, Google eating the web, four-day workweeks, corporate nonsense, burrito bowl economics, and whether the Pope also hates his phone company.
