This week, Mel's fact reminds Monty of a terrifying event that recently happened in her home, that ended with a major PPM (Proud Parenting Moment). There’s also the Aussie singer’s son with incredible pipes and Mel’s MUCH less impressive childhood performances. Monty’s son’s school is evacuated for a scary - but vintage - reason, Mel is reminded of an 80’s ad with a very adult moment, and we disagree over whether sucking a dummy as a form of self-regulation beyond the toddler years is ok.

Oral methadone versus sublingual buprenorphine for the treatment of acute opioid withdrawal: A triple-blind, double-dummy, randomized control trial  Drug and Alcohol Dependence Researchers compared oral methadone to sublingual buprenorphine for the management of acute opioid withdrawal. Patients at an inpatient drug treatment center in India were randomly assigned to receive either methadone or buprenorphine titrated over days 1-3 to control opioid withdrawal symptoms. Over days 4-10 medications were tapered and stopped by day 11. Completion of treatment was similar in both groups (83% methadone, 82% buprenorphine). Both subjective (SOWS) and objective (COWS) withdrawal symptoms decreased during the treatment, however the buprenorphine group had significantly greater withdrawal symptoms than the methadone group (p=0.009) at the end of treatment (day 10). Opioid craving also decreased in both groups with no significant difference between groups. Authors conclude that methadone is a safe and effective alternative to buprenorphine for management of opioid withdrawal.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Developer conference season is almost over, but we've got one show left to see: Apple's WWDC begins on Monday. Nilay, David, and Joanna Stern spend time going through both what they expect to see at the show, and why this year's WWDC might feel a bit different than in years past. Apple is in a tricky place with regulators, developers, and users alike, and has some genuine explaining to do. After that, they talk about the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, and David's surprisingly easy adventure to acquire one. We also have a bit of smart glasses and AI gadgets news to discuss, so we do that too.

Where will Meta, Apple, and Google be three years from now? It's starting to look like they might all be very different. Nilay, David, and The Verge's Richard Lawler start the show with Eddy Cue's testimony in the Google search trial, in which Cue argued that AI is taking over — and that Google should be allowed to keep paying Apple gobs of money. The hosts also chat about the latest in the Meta trials, and how the recent Apple ruling is already changing the App Store. Then, there are some gadgets to talk about: the panopticon-slash-killer-app coming for Meta's smart glasses, the new Surface Pro and Surface Laptop, and a lot of new iPhones. In the lightning round, we do another round of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, then talk about some new Netflix designs and the latest in our worldwide hunt for party speakers. Further reading: Eddy Cue is fighting to save Apple's $20 billion paycheck from Google Apple's Eddy Cue: ‘You may not need an iPhone 10 years from now' Google searches are falling in Safari for the first time ever — probably because of AI Google's statement about Search traffic Apple is looking at adding Perplexity and other AI search engines to Safari Amazon now has a ‘Get book' button in its iOS Kindle app Epic will use an EU account to bring Fortnite back to the US App Store Patreon's iOS update allows creators to bypass in-app purchases Apple is trying to halt the App Store ruling.

Everywhere you look, antitrust fights have the potential to reshape the tech industry. Nilay, David, and The Verge's Jake Kastrenakes start by digging into the latest ruling in the Apple / Epic trial, in which a furious judge rips open the App Store in a way Apple likely never saw coming. The way we pay for apps is about to change, and fast. After that, it's time for an update on the Google and Meta trials, as Google tries to preserve its search empire and Meta tries to make the case that basically every company on the web is its vicious competitor. Finally, in the lightning round, it's time for another installment of Brendan Carr is a Dummy, plus some notes on this week's Worldcoin launch and the strange new Meta AI app. Also: party speakers. Always party speakers. Further reading: A judge just blew up Apple's control of the App Store ‘Cook chose poorly': how Apple blew up its control over the App Store The future of the App Store depends on the difference between a ‘button' and an ‘external link' Apple must allow other forms of in-app purchase, rules judge in Epic v. Apple Apple exec ‘outright lied' during Epic trial Apple confirms it will appeal the App Store order. Epic says Fortnite is coming back to iOS in the US Sundar Pichai says the DOJ's antitrust plan could kill Google Search Google confirms it's close to getting Gemini support on iPhones The TikTok ban is back in court — in Meta's antitrust trial TikTok's head of operations takes the stand. Reels isn't Instagram's ‘core' experience. TikTok doesn't compete with Meta for ‘personal social networking.' TikTok's legal entanglements collide. The TikTok ban makes another cameo. TikTok's friends tab is not exactly a hit. TikTok and Reels are ‘indistinguishable.' Are YouTube and Instagram the top competitors for TikTok?  TikTok predicted Instagram would redesign its app to focus on Reels. Meta prepared for a ‘flood in traffic' ahead of the TikTok ban. Facebook execs worried Google would buy WhatsApp and make it ‘a cross-platform iMessage.' Facebook worried most about Google or Apple buying WhatsApp. Google had a ‘long shot' chance of becoming competitive in social with WhatsApp. Facebook exec worried about losing the business to mobile messaging apps. ‘I was really worried that this could become the end.' ‘This shit is getting scary.'  WhatsApp showed ‘absolutely no signs of morphing' into a social app. Facebook floated starting from scratch on messaging. Facebook didn't know how it would make money from WhatsApp. Facebook didn't fear WhatsApp becoming a social competitor.
