Conrad and Gyi are live from ABA TECHSHOW 2026 at McCormick Place in Chicago, and they've got a big announcement. Lunch Hour Legal Marketing is going all-in on AI with the debut of Claudia, the podcast's new AI co-host. Trained on the most authoritative legal marketing sources (including this very podcast), backed by private equity from Amazon's Alexa Fund, and equipped with her own proprietary accuracy-testing model... What could possibly go wrong?
The guys break down the news:
- A landmark social media addiction verdict against Meta and Google
- The epic police accountability case starring Afroman
- A lawyer whose social profiles were hijacked by a Morgan & Morgan slogan
