Zoom AI Companion has been helping to write up the summaries of our conversations. So here’s what Zoom said, in part, edited (a little) for accuracy (sort of).

Cody and craig discussed a variety of topics, including the new control interface, their podcast which covers a range of topics, household chores, and the societal assumptions about gender roles in household chores. They also engaged in a theological conversation about the historical context of Jesus, the Christmas story, and the concept of Jesus as a nonviolent resistor. They touched on the historical and mythical elements of the Christmas story, the financial and sporting implications of a high-profile player's transfer, their finances and future plans, music, making fruitcake, and casual conversations about classic Christmas movies and action figures.

We also spent some time trying to pronounce the Latin term for the third Sunday of Advent, gaudete. In the process of learning about the Latin word, it was learned that this is expressive joy, not the kind “down in my heart.” The third Sunday of Advent needs party poppers!

It’s pretty close. Here are a few of the links to things that were discussed:
