Today’s guest, Parker Rice, is a photographer and NASA commercial spacesuit tech who taught astronauts how to take killer photos… in actual space. He spills the good, the bad, and the deeply gross—from building gear that works in zero gravity, to shooting jaw-dropping images on the space station, to surviving the legendary zero-G vomit spray.

We also get into his wildest wildlife photography stories and why old-school film is making a comeback as the ultimate middle finger to AI fakes, especially for courtrooms and anyone who needs proof that an image is actually real.

It’s part science, part art, part chaos. Laugh, gag a little, and space out with Tom and D.

This week we kick off our 2nd season as we sit down with Husk, the quietly brilliant and quirky mind behind those social videos where AI is dropped into everyday human interactions—and comedically exposes just how weird those moments already are.

By letting AI respond with total sincerity (and zero social instinct), Husk holds up a mirror to modern conversation, etiquette, and overthinking, maybe without realizing it himself . We talk about why these videos work, what AI gets hilariously wrong about being human, and why awkwardness might be the most honest thing we’ve got left. Funnier still, we even do a few live and on-the-spot conversations to see Husk in real-time.

Marci Polzin of Artistic Talent Inc.—and Tom’s longtime voiceover agent—joins us to talk real representation, real talent, and what it actually takes to last in this business.

In true Festivus fashion, we air our grievances: AI, race-to-the-bottom pricing, and the Tilly Norwoods of the world cheapening brands in the name of “innovation.”

As we close out 2025, we look ahead to another year of strong opinions, questionable takes, and absolutely no plans to tone it down.

More nonsense incoming.
