EPISODE · Jul 6, 2026 · 1H 7M
150 Two Cameras, One Mic, and Zero Chance of Staying On Topic w/ Carpet Martin
from Bliss of the Abyss · host Robert Neumark Jones
...and the unmistakable smell of a setup that’s about to become a full media empire or collapse immediately. Carpet has entered his “becoming a runner” era, backed by a Garmin watch chosen through an alarming amount of AI consultation. ChatGPT has also somehow become a fitness coach, life advisor, and enabler-in-chief. We also revisit *Recovery* (the sitcom, not the physio chart), where writing partnership dynamics are dissected like a Premier League transfer deal: Carpet is “solution-oriented,” Rob is “creative chaos in human form,” and somehow it works… allegedly. Elsewhere, ACL rehab stories get uncomfortably real, including hospital anecdotes that make everyone grateful for not being in withdrawal management today. Then, because obviously, we detour into UK politics and Andy Burnham, devolving into a debate about whether running a country is basically just being a slightly more stressed football manager with better lighting and worse Twitter replies. By the end, nobody is sure if this is a podcast, a recovery diary, a sitcom pitch, or an AI experiment gone slightly rogue. Possibly all four. THANKS GPT
