In this historic 60th episode, Jeff and Chris do what any self-respecting podcast would do to celebrate a major milestone: they use AI to de-age themselves into toddlers and open the show as actual 3-year-olds and seem shockingly composedfor children who have likely just discovered their toes.

Then the episode spirals into a beautiful midlife crisis as the duo laments all the futuristic promises of their youth that never arrived: bubble cars, food pills, dome cities, clothes with built-in booties, and the long-overdue extinction of crappy asphalt. Jeff mourns the death of Jetsons-style travel; Chris weeps forthe loss of meal replacement pills—then immediately retracts it because pills that taste like hot dogs are a war crime. They recall Willy Wonka's gum-based dinners, rip on Charlton Heston's dystopia trilogy, and give a heartfelt Zardoz shout out to Sean Connery in a red Speedo.

And then there's Dirk Pearson. Remember him? No? Good. Because that long-haired supplement-peddling life-extension prophet lied to everyone. Chris calls him out for saying we’d live to 800 while Jeff’s is just hoping to make it to the next Target run without groaning.

Closing Thought:
The roads are still garbage, the replicators never arrived, and you’re still eating nachos like a caveman. But at least you’ve got Nice Pull!—now with baby filters and 740 episodes to go.
