They're dissecting the massive corporate marriages of Korn Ferry buying AMS and Handshake grabbing Uplimit—are these brilliant strategic moves or absolute train wrecks?

Maureen sits down with Dan Lyons — bestselling author of Disrupted, former Newsweek and Forbes journalist, and writer for HBO’s hit series Silicon Valley.

From bouncy ball chairs and candy walls to getting sized up as “someone’s parent” on day one, Dan delivers hilarious, painful, and brutally honest stories about ageism in tech. He breaks down the infamous CEO quote that sparked a company-wide controversy (“…

On this week's episode: The Football Flops: Portugal woke up, while England was lulled to sleep and Emi is losing her mind over corporate "hydration breaks". The Hype Block: The hosts rip into Snapchat’s new $2,300 glasses (a chunky, $3 billion boat anchor that makes a good-looking CEO completely unfuckable). Meanwhile, Anthropic's CEO is treating his LLM like a "superweapon" that practically needs a gun license just to drive up valuation. Who’d You Rather?: Emi tries to take home three startups (Sloneek, HeyMilo, and Orbio) for an HR foursome. The New Indoor Malls: Oracle is slashi…

Is AI changing the world or just getting better at selling the dream? Snapchat says smart glasses are the future. Anthropic claims its AI is so powerful it should require a permit. But is any of it real or just investor hype? Meanwhile, Oracle cuts 21,000 jobs as Google pours millions into training electricians, welders, and plumbers to build AI data centers. Is AI replacing white-collar workers while creating a new blue-collar boom? Plus, New York moves to crack down on ghost jobs, and one AI startup CEO buys every employee a $3,000 sleep system to boost performance. Chad and Emi separate…

This week on The Chad & Cheese Podcast, Chad, J.T. and Lieven unpack a bombshell Stanford study that claims millions of job seekers are being filtered through the same flawed AI systems and the results aren't pretty. Meanwhile, Indeed says it has finally cracked AI sourcing with a new assistant that looks beyond keywords. But has the king of job boards actually gotten something right? And if that wasn't enough… Thousands of workers in India are reportedly getting paid just $2 an hour to record everyday tasks—essentially training the very AI systems that could replace them.
