Bourbon with Brad

Orbiting Data Centers, Penelope Pours, and the 5th Segment Chaos

Bourbon with Brad

Show Notes

Tonight’s pour is the classic Penelope Bourbon, and it sets the tone for an episode that swings from the stratosphere to the seafloor. Brad kicks things off by asking the week’s most unhinged infrastructure question: If we’re putting data centers in orbit and in the ocean… why not slap them on the poles too? The logic is questionable. The bourbon is not.

From there, the conversation shifts as we wrap up our thoughts on Claude and dive headfirst into Microsoft Copilot—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s about to reshape how people work.

And of course… it wouldn’t be Bourbon with Brad without The 5th Segment—the part of the show where structure goes to die and the best ideas somehow show up anyway.
