Better Offline CES 2025: Day 5 - Pt. 2

<p>Welcome to Better Offline&rsquo;s coverage of the 2025 Consumer Electronics Show - a standup radio station in the Venetian with an attached open bar where reporters, experts and various other characters bring you the stories from the floor. <br /><br />In Part 2 of our 5th day covering CES, Ed Zitron is joined by Robert Evans of Cool Zone Media, Gare Davis of Cool Zone Media, Kyle Chouinard of Las Vegas, Nevada, to talk labor, the true vibe of CES, and how growth-at-all-costs thinking crowds out real solutions to problems. And, of course, how much Ed loves everybody.<br /><br />Ed Ongweso Jr.: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/%20bigblackjacobin.bsky.social">https://bsky.app/profile/ bigblackjacobin.bsky.social&nbsp;</a><br />The Tech Bubble Newsletter: <a href="https://thetechbubble.substack.com/">https://thetechbubble.substack.com/</a>&nbsp;<br />David Roth, Defector: <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/davidjroth.bsky.social">https://bsky.app/profile/davidjroth.bsky.social</a>&nbsp;<br />Defector: <a href="Defector.com">Defector.com</a> <br />It&rsquo;s Christmastown Podcast: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-christmastown/id1407429849">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-christmastown/id1407429849</a>&nbsp;<br />Kyle Chouinard, Las Vegas Sun <a href="https://lasvegassun.com/staff/kyle-chouinard/">https://lasvegassun.com/staff/kyle-chouinard/</a>&nbsp;<br />Gare Davis <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jm6ufvsw3hg5zgdpnd3zb4tv">https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jm6ufvsw3hg5zgdpnd3zb4tv</a>&nbsp;<br />Robert Evans <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/iwriteok.bsky.social">https://bsky.app/profile/iwriteok.bsky.social</a>&nbsp;<br />Phil Broughton <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/funranium.bsky.social/post/3kmolcb3bmx2r">https://bsky.app/profile/funranium.bsky.social/post/3kmolcb3bmx2r</a>&nbsp;<br />Our wonderful producer: <a href="https://www.mattosowski.com/">https://www.mattosowski.com/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>---</p> <p>LINKS: <a href="https://www.tinyurl.com/betterofflinelinks">https://www.tinyurl.com/betterofflinelinks</a></p> <p>Newsletter: <a href="https://www.wheresyoured.at/">https://www.wheresyoured.at/</a></p> <p>Reddit: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/BetterOffline/">https://www.reddit.com/r/BetterOffline/</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>Discord: <a href="https://discord.com/invite/QUUQUP9szv">chat.wheresyoured.at</a></p> <p>Ed's Socials:</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/edzitron">https://twitter.com/edzitron</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/edzitron">https://www.instagram.com/edzitron</a></p> <p><a href="https://bsky.app/profile/edzitron.com">https://bsky.app/profile/edzitron.com</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.threads.net/@edzitron">https://www.threads.net/@edzitron</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
