As we discuss in the show, the AI is garbage so we won’t burden you with it anymore. Instead, here are some of our favorite moments from the show.

"There's nothing more different from an antique than something you buy in a mall." — Tony Russo

"You have to know what's garbage. Like, before you mess with AI, you have to know the difference between what reads like garbage and what doesn't." — Tony Russo

So the AI is interpreting that as a tennis court and then just going through its catalog of sound effects and pulling up, you know, racket whooshes and ball, bounces and stuff like that. It's cool. It's interesting. Practically, though, you're still just gonna be using the stuff that you're capturing to start with. — Todd DeHart

“You know, they have the chug a duck. You're drinking a natural light with amaretto on top of it out of a duck's, you know, out of a decoy”. — Todd DeHart

"Yeah. They have … Is it 311 or Blink 182? I don't know the difference." — Tony Russo

“I think that's one of the nice things about the art league and the film festival. They have international entries, and it's been going on for quite a while. And so it's not gonna be that over-processed, touristy, you know...” — Todd DeHart

As always the following text as well as the title and the art are all AI. Here’s the essay Tony spoke about in the show.

Hey there, Day Drinkers!

In our most recent episode, we had a lively discussion about the importance of authenticity in storytelling and the threat of AI replicating voices. Tony shared his unique approach to writing without confining himself to a niche, while Todd emphasized the joy of doing what you love and letting your audience find you. We also delved into the success of a previous music festival and Todd's anticipation of this year's event.

We couldn't resist a bit of humor as Tony jokingly mentioned our show's supposed lack of substance, but we're committed to making it more searchable and accessible through Apple, so stay tuned for that update!

In other news, we explored Kelly's fascinating collection of old magazines and books, and Tony shared insights into the historical significance of hand-lettered magazine ads.

We also dived into the lineup for the upcoming Ocean's Calling event, shared personal anecdotes about the featured artists, and discussed the historical context of voting in Laurel, shedding light on the impact of Jim Crow laws on property tax payments.

We concluded with a valuable chat about refocusing on our creative work, the evolution of social media promotion, and the importance of building positive relationships with our clients.

As always, we're grateful for your support and can't wait to keep the conversation going in the next episode!

Stay delightful,

Todd and Tony

One of the conceits of Day Drinking on Delmarva is that we let AI name our episodes and then feed that name into an AI image maker. I don’t know why there are bears in the image. I mean, the rest doesn’t make more sense, but the bears have me stumped.
