The Fast Hours take
Rory and Drew treat HeyGen mainly as a dated baseline rather than a tool they use — Rory deliberately skipped exploring it to avoid chasing every hyped release (Ep. 42), and hosts cite its 'robotic-voice' output as the bar Runway's Act 2 motion capture has since beaten (Ep. 46). By mid-2026 Rory was contrasting 'throwaway HeyGen lip-sync clips' unfavorably with a guest's deliberate, multi-step production process (Ep. 78).
