    <description>The Grit City Podcast is a weekly audio experience like no other! Hosted from the vibrant city of Tacoma, Washington - also known as "Grit City," our show has been entertaining and informing listeners since 2014. And what a ride it's been! 
Every week, we release a new episode that introduces you to the dynamic and inspiring individuals who call the Pacific Northwest home. From local business owners and entrepreneurs to authors, artists, and unique characters, our guests embody the hard-working, blue-collar spirit that Grit City is known for. And let's not forget the occasional drug-fueled weirdo we may have met at a comedy club the night before!
The Grit City Podcast first launched back in the summer of 2014 and quickly built a loyal fanbase of listeners who appreciated the show's unique perspective on the Seattle/Tacoma area. After a brief hiatus in 2017, the podcast was rebooted in 2018, with even more friends and family members involved. It quickly regained its "must listen to" status and went on to deliver an impressive 275 episodes and counting, delivering over 280 hours of audio content to our fans since. With no signs of slowing down soon!
Our mission at The Grit City Podcast is simple: to bring the hard-working spirit of the Pacific Northwest to the world and have a good time doing it! We aim to create a community of listeners who understand and appreciate the concept of "grit". With a focus on local business owners, entrepreneurs, and unique characters, sprinkled with a good dose of humor, The Grit City Podcast is a one-of-a-kind audio experience that you won't want to miss.
So, if you're looking for a weekly dose of inspiration, laughter, and a celebration of the human spirit, look no further than The Grit City Podcast! Subscribe now and join us for the ride!

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Jeff, Derek, and Scott hold down the fort for this GCP episode.  They chat about shows they’ve been watching lately, current and future AI, their go-to music playlists, and the official date for Putt Stuff.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;00:00 – Jeff explains the importance of the feng shui of his office furniture, Derek talks about his gaming setup, and they discuss how they develop show ideas.  Jeff brings up SNL’s Delicious Dish, talks about what he’s been binging on, and he and Scott reflect on Sponge Bob Square Pants.  They talk about the new show Rob Lowe is in, Unstable, how he is a triple threat, and Scott explains what the TV Series, Outlast, is about.  He talks about how quickly it got dark, Jeff shares how the debt collectors work in Britain, and Derek talks about cars now coming with subscription options.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;17:19 – Derek ponders on if we’re ready for the advancements of technology, they talk about social media they used back in the day, and Scott talks about how Facebook is like a phone book.  He talks about how an AI fooled a human into checking a Captcha “I am not a robot” checkbox, Derek speaks to the importance of the ethics behind how we use new technology, and Jeff talks about how the internet has shifted from the wild west to having high government restrictions.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;34:11 – Jeff shares his favorite version of the song Sad but True, Derek talks about what’s generally on his playlist, and Scott talks about his love of various music styles.  They talk about their drinks, Scott talks about enjoying post-graveyard beers with breakfast, and Jeff explains how vodka is a sterilizer that can help clear bad breath in the morning.  Jeff talks about the different drinking customs around the world, Derek talks about how certain chemicals we use are banned worldwide, and Scott shares his favorite junk food.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;49:09 – Scott shares the story of kitchen robots, talks about kitchen composters, and they talk about where AI needs to go next.  The conversation turns to Boston Dynamics robot dogs, anticipating what the next VR will be, and Jeff talks about his love of the advanced technology in his car.  Scott talks about his recent experience riding in a Tesla, they discuss Uber eventually going to autonomous vehicles, and close out revealing the day of this summer’s Putt Stuff event.   &lt;/p&gt;
