E83 - Parental Leave, AI Interview Cheating, Laundering Money with Pokemon, Smart Legos Bricks & Desperate Elon

Pokémon cards are apparently the new way to move money across borders. Meanwhile, Berlin has turned into an ice rink, Trump posts AI penguins in the wrong hemisphere, and lab mice are being told to touch grass for science. Parenting continues to be a content (and contént) giving journey: from the food Olympics to the floor is lava.On top of that, I interviewed an AI cheater, Lego launches internet-connected “smart” bricks nobody asked for, and Elon Musk shows new levels of public desperation.Parenting, tech absurdity, financial mischief, and late-stage capitalism — all in one episode.How to Get Notified for Auroras in Germany

Another week of trying to keep up. Venezuela, Greenland, people betting on wars, chip wars, Greece losing its airspace for a day, Berlin freezing, power grids getting attacked, and me wondering (again) if growing tomatoes should be my plan Z

A Spotify Hack, Quantum Leaps, and the State Department's Font Fiasco. Heads up, this episode was recorded 10 days ago, so no info on the US invading Venezuela. I talk about a massive hack on Spotify, quantum computing getting a big upgrade, AI translating Chinese research into English, the bizarre font change at the US State Department, and the messy release of Epstein Files.

Moving apartments with a sick baby, zero planning, and 40 mystery boxes - my personal favourite. Spotify Wrapped lies, burnout, fake seasons, radiators with commitment issues, Greek scandals, European fines, tech-bro tantrums, Trump winning imaginary awards, and why the world feels like someone accidentally hit hard reset.But it ends on something lighter. A documentary festival, a tiny bit of hope, and me trying to sound like I have my life together. Enjoy.
