Midjourney: New Tricks, Wild Updates, and Deep Cuts

Ep. 31—Midjourney: New Tricks, Wild Updates, and Deep Cuts

Drew Brucker and Rory Flynn are back, and this episode is one giant creative rabbit hole.

From the Valentine’s Day chaos of Brooklyn (spoiler: crying and semi-trucks were involved) to Birmingham, Alabama’s undercover coolness, the duo kicks things off with some quality storytelling before diving headfirst into Midjourney madness, AI breakthroughs, and wild tech speculation.

They wax poetic on 90s movie nostalgia, aggressively defend Heavyweights and Dodgeball, and collectively mourn the death of genuinely dumb, hilarious comedy. But then—like true AI nerds—they pivot hard into a full-blown discussion on Midjourney’s updates, AI video tools, hardware rumors, and the next wave of creative technology.

Somewhere in the mix, they channel their inner Steve Jobs, dissect Nike’s early hustle, and debate whether AI-powered wearables will be revolutionary or just another overpriced gadget nobody asked for. There’s also a completely unnecessary deep dive into AI-generated fishing footage (don’t ask), a rant about why Midjourney’s moderation is suddenly allergic to the word "mucus," and some genuinely useful insights on AI in branding, prompt engineering, and the future of digital creativity.

- Brooklyn on Valentine’s Day is pure chaos.
- Birmingham might be cooler than we thought.
- 90s movies had a magic we don’t get anymore.
- Midjourney updates are coming… but when?
- AI tools are evolving, but they still frustrate us.
- AI hardware could be game-changing (or totally useless).
- Steve Jobs was onto something.
- Community feedback shapes tech more than we realize.
- AI-generated video is getting dangerously realistic.

- Midjourney’s biggest challenge? Keeping up with its own hype.

Buckle up—it’s a fast, weird, and wildly entertaining episode.
