What happens when you mix holiday chaos, a DJ mixer under the tree, and cutting-edge AI creativity? You get this week’s podcast.

Drew and Rory kick off with a hilarious recap of their family-packed holidays (imagine 15 kids, 40 adults, and rice balls for days) before diving into the creative deep end with Midjourney’s game-changing new feature: moodboards.

They break down how moodboards are shaking things up—making client projects smoother, design consistency sharper, and team collaboration less...than --chaos 10.

There’s talk of turning chaos settings into pure gold, resurrecting old styles for fresh projects, and why Midjourney sometimes feels like the wildest creative playground.

Oh, and don’t miss the riffs on futuristic character generation, the endless jungle of AI tools begging for consolidation, and why video might just be the next big frontier. It’s a little festive, a little philosophical, and packed with laughs and ideas to fuel your creative fire.
