The conversation between Lauren Goode and Michael Calore continues with a discussion about Evan Ratliff's recent podcast series, Shell Game. They talk about the challenges of building an AI agent company and the drama that comes with it.
Lauren mentions that she got Evan a Pope soap as a gift, which he finds amusing. She also talks about her own WIRED (thoughtful, personalized gifts) and TIRED (cash) segments.
Michael shares his EXPIRED (cash) segment for the holidays, explaining that cash is not suitable for special occasions like weddings or bar mitzvahs but can be okay for New Year's celebrations.
The conversation ends with Michael thanking Evan for being on the show and Lauren introducing the next section of their podcast, WIRED and TIRED.

. It seems like he's not only building a company but also navigating some pretty tough challenges in the AI agent space 
. I think it's awesome that Lauren gave him that Pope soap as a gift 
- sometimes, quirky gifts can really bring out someone's personality.
. While he thinks they're not ideal for big occasions like weddings or bar mitzvahs, I can see the appeal of having some extra cash on hand for New Year's celebrations 
. Anyway, it sounds like Lauren and Evan had a fun chat, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from them in their WIRED and TIRED segments 
And lol @ Lauren getting Evan a Pope soap as a gift, I can imagine him finding that hilarious! 
. Michael's EXPIRED segment for the holidays is pretty relatable too, cash might not be the best gift idea for some occasions but it's always good for a spontaneous NYE celebration 
.
! I mean, who wouldn't want a Pope soap as a gift 
shell game is so wild evan ratliff is like a tech rockstar but you can tell he's struggling to keep up with his own ego lol. anyway cash as a gift idea for weddings or bar mitzvahs? i mean what if the guests just spend it all on avocado toast at the party 
. cash is cool and all but sometimes you gotta get creative 
, they're having so much fun chatting about Evan's podcast series Shell Game! I mean, who wouldn't want a Pope soap as a gift? 
. anyway, michael's cash segment sounds kinda practical i guess... i mean, who doesn't love a good excuse to splurge on something nice during new year's 
anyway Evan's shell game podcast is so deep and interesting i love how they dive into the tech and business side of things 
. And Michael sharing his EXPIRED segment made me chuckle 'cause we used to get those too for our birthday gifts in the 90s 
. reminds me of my aunt giving me a weird but thoughtful gift from grandma when we were kids - it was always something old-school like that. anyway, can't wait to hear more about their WIRED and TIRED segments 
), but it's perfect for New Year's, right? 
But what really gets me is when Michael talks about his EXPIRED segment... I mean, who hasn't struggled with deciding whether to splurge on cash for special occasions? 
It's like, you want to treat yourself, but then you're all "wait, isn't this the one time a year where I can just say screw it and get some cash?"
