Mind Gap
For years Doug Cochrane and Justin Strandlund have been good friends and frequent improv partners. They share a love of debating any topic, although their discussions usually come back around to two things: movies and space. Their most infamous debate involved a 2 hour discussion (while at work) about the actual possibility of time travel and it's potential ramifications on mankind; this included a full diagram drawn on a wall-sized whiteboard. Time well spent. MindGap is what happens when they sit in front of a microphone and press record.

Episode 505 - What If Normal Objects Had an AI Brain?
It’s time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin ponder the question, if their lives had a 'skip intro' button, what mundane, repetitive part would they skip every single time? Doug mentions skipping small talk and this leads the guys into discussing fun, new ways Doug should handle door-to-door sales people moving forward. Our dorks then move into the main topic; inspired by the game Patch Notes Real Life Edition, they decided to do an entire episode focused on the horrors that would come from giving normal objects AI Brains. They discuss everything from couches to refrigerators and then the Mind Gap community gets a chance to throw their ideas in the ring. Things are wrapped up with a new game Justin found on the Kaiser Boys Games Instagram account called, How Many Actors To Guess The Movie. Justin lists off actors from a movie and Doug has to try and guess the movie in as few actors as possible.

Through the course of 10 increasingly spicy chicken nuggets, Noah asks questions and reminisces with our heroes about the last decade of nerdy debates, hot takes, and fart jokes. What seemed like a good idea leading up to recording proved to be a nightmare on our plumbing. Thank you to everyone in the Mind Gap community for your support, and cheers to 10 more!
