  • A Battle of Ego & Shadow: The Albatross Cafe' Visits the Dark Side of the Human Psyche | Electric Secrets
    Feb 21 2025

    On this episode of The Albatross Cafe, featuring Marty Merman, we learn a little more about what Marty likes to do on his phone in his free time, including attempting to save the "King" in a popular online game and getting to know the secret behind artificial intelligence.

    Beyond his humorous and somewhat chaotic conversation with an AI chatbot, listeners will hear from Esther Merman in her new segment "Ask Esther Anything," and a riveting review of Megadeth's debut album, "Killing Is My Business, And Business Is Good" from Agnes's Jungian lens. Listeners will also hear mini-segments and promos for the spin-off "Lifestock of Yellowstone," and Jeffrey Flamdrammer's podcast," Best Practices for Customer Reviews."

    What can we say, it's the gift that keeps on giving ... Shaka, la, la, la.
