Podcasts about Tamagotchi

Ever wonder if your marriage can survive an overbearing mother-in-law, a 45-minute commute, and an AI girlfriend who always texts back? Well, congratulations, you've found today's episode.The gang dives headfirst into one of the most relatable relationship landmines on Earth: in-laws. From boundary issues and family dynamics to holiday stress and the delicate art of telling your parents to mind their own business, the crew shares personal stories about navigating marriage without accidentally starting a family civil war.Lern opens up about the difference between growing up in a loud, confrontational family versus marrying into a conflict-avoidant one. Scott flexes his surprisingly impressive relationship with his mother-in-law. Rizz explains how cultural differences, strong personalities, and family expectations can create tension even when everybody genuinely loves each other. It's relationship therapy... if your therapist occasionally gets distracted by fart jokes.Then things get statistical.The crew breaks down research on what actually predicts divorce. Expensive weddings? Bad sign. Long commutes? Not helping. Smoking habits, family history, education levels, age at marriage, and even church attendance all make the list. Some of the findings make sense. Some are surprising. And some spark a debate about whether staying married and staying happily married are actually the same thing.Of course, because this is a daily comedy show, the conversation quickly pivots into the glorious luxuries of being single. Sleeping diagonally. Ordering whatever food you want. Leaving cake untouched in the refrigerator. Taking naps without explanation. Buying appliances without committee approval. And perhaps most importantly, enjoying unrestricted household fart privileges.Things get even weirder when Harvard research enters the chat with findings about prostate health that leave the room simultaneously educated and uncomfortable. Just when you think the show can't possibly get more ridiculous, an AI company starts hiring "masturbation consultants" for product testing, and everyone collectively questions what timeline we're currently living in.Finally, the gang tackles the rapidly growing world of AI romance. Is having an AI girlfriend cheating? Is it harmless? Is it just a glorified Tamagotchi with emotional support features? Nobody has a definitive answer, but everyone has concerns. The debate turns into one of the most fascinating discussions of the episode as the crew explores loneliness, technology, relationships, and whether AI companionship is helping people or quietly replacing human connection.This daily comedy show somehow manages to cover marriage advice, family drama, relationship statistics, prostate health research, single-person luxuries, AI romance, and guided intimacy apps in a single episode. Which, honestly, feels pretty on-brand at this point.If you're married, single, dating, dealing with in-laws, avoiding your in-laws, curious about AI, or simply wondering how a conversation about air shows turned into a debate about robot girlfriends, this episode has something for you.And if it doesn't, at least you'll learn that Harvard is spending tuition money in some very unexpected ways.This daily comedy show proves once again that no topic is too weird, too awkward, or too ridiculous for the Rizz Show crew to tackle.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Storms, gardening wins, and Lauren's surprisingly strategic mosquito-fighting citronella operation. What starts as a wholesome conversation about plants immediately takes a hard left turn into shirtless concertgoers, Busch Stadium tarp-off culture, and one unforgettable performance where audience members decided clothing was entirely optional.Meanwhile, Moon's travel plans hit a snag overseas, but the crew agrees that being stranded in Germany isn't exactly the worst problem a person can have. Eat some bratwurst, grab some schnitzel, and enjoy the delay.The conversation only gets weirder from there.Rizz shares stories from a packed Primus concert full of forty-somethings reliving their glory days, psychedelic mishaps, and enough progressive rock to make your brain do cartwheels. Lauren recaps her weekend performing in Illinois while discovering that Stairway to Heaven apparently inspires men to remove their shirts in large numbers.Then comes one of the biggest revelations of the episode: Rizz officially gets the results of his sleep study. The diagnosis? Moderate sleep apnea. The reactions? Exactly what you'd expect from this crew. CPAP jokes, oral appliance confusion, Bane impressions, and a surprising amount of enthusiasm from listeners who have somehow turned sleep disorders into a lifestyle community.The gang also dives into youth sports after Rizz's son competes in a jiu-jitsu tournament featuring revenge matches, international competitors, and enough chokeholds to humble an entire family. Along the way they discuss sportsmanship, parenting, and why combat sports parents seem significantly calmer than hockey parents.Denver Airport conspiracy theoriesSmoking statistics and nostalgiaAmsterdam travel storiesFood poisoning warnings for barbecue seasonSmall-town fight-night memoriesWhy old cigarette ads were somehow even crazier than you rememberThe gang dives into the growing trend of people carrying separate work and personal phones in the name of mental health. Is it a brilliant life hack or just another thing to forget to charge? Lern almost had dreams of becoming a two-phone legend herself with plans for a "Learner Phone" burner setup before the deal disappeared faster than our motivation after lunch.Then it's time for Crap On Celebrities, where music news gets weird in all the right ways. Greta Van Fleet is back with new music, Peter Gabriel dusts off a song that apparently spent four decades sitting in a vault, and Disturbed is preparing new music while earning perhaps the most accurate parody album commercial we've ever produced. If you've ever wondered what a greatest hits collection consisting entirely of "AH-WAH-AH-AH-AH" sounds like, congratulations, your dream has arrived.We also discuss Rod Stewart's health issues, Frankie Valli finally canceling tour dates at age 92, and whether somebody should gently escort certain performers toward a comfortable pool chair and a nice afternoon nap.Ever wonder if your marriage can survive an overbearing mother-in-law, a 45-minute commute, and an AI girlfriend who always texts back?

Hour 2 features Alex Donno joining the show to break down the growing controversy surrounding Inter Miami and Lionel Messi after some fans became frustrated over Messi rarely acknowledging supporters during matches, even leading to fans holding back cheers during a recent game. The guys debate whether the fan reaction is petty or if Messi could easily solve the issue with a simple wave, while also comparing fan expectations for superstars across different sports. Donno also dives into Miami Hurricanes recruiting, discussing Mark Matthews committing to Texas A&M despite Miami being heavily involved, along with Ai'King Hall flipping from Oregon to Miami and the changing landscape of recruiting in the NIL era. The hour also includes lighter conversation about bizarre trends like Dumpling stress balls, Tamagotchis, and the chaos surrounding Swatch watch releases, before wrapping with discussion about whether National Signing Day has lost its importance now that most major commitments happen months in advance.

There's something strange about making something.You draw a character on a piece of paper.You put it in a video.Three people see it.And then… someone on the other side of the world spends real time, with their hands, turning it into something you can hold.That's what happened with Lemon Tart.In this episode, I'm trying to understand why that moment felt so big. Not just the kindness of it, but the feeling underneath it. The same feeling that was there when I was a kid obsessing over Tamagotchis, robot dogs, and anything that felt… almost alive.This isn't really about a plushie.It's about that thing we've all reached for at some point— something that knows us, stays with us, and somehow feels real even when it shouldn't be.I don't fully understand it.But I think the longing itself might be the clue.Huge thank you to Caroline Lebl, the artist who brought Lemon Tart into the physical world.She's an Australian artist who makes things that feel like they shouldn't exist… but do.Find her here:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@carolinelebl111Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinelebl111/Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/clebl111Etsy (her work): https://www.etsy.com/shop/CarolineLeblFollow / Support / Yell At :Instagram & TikTok: @idiotmysticWebsite (ongoing writing & edits): https://idiotmystic.comDiscord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmMWe're all carrying something no one else can see.I don't think that's the problem.I think that's the whole point.

The Elk Call returns!

Discover which iconic playthings actually dominate the global market as the FITT crew deconstructs the top 10 bestselling toys ever. From the surprising 1977 origins of the Star Wars action figure boom to the high-stakes responsibility of a pixelated Tamagotchi, we separate the ultimate Win from the absolute Wiff. Is the Cabbage Patch Kids' $2 billion peak enough to crown them, or is the Rubik's Cube the true king of the toy chest? We're diving into the nostalgia, the unit sales, and the lists that might just be fake.

Burnie and Ashley discuss CICO, calorie gifts, binge eating, fitness goals, fresh eggs, email in space, Overcooked lore, Pokopia, difficulty settings, Claude leak, Tamagotchis, social media ban failures, and the great egg surplus.

Jeff and Jim welcome Joseph Carson, cybersecurity expert and host of the Security by Default podcast, for a conversation on AI in offensive and defensive security. Joseph shares the real-world incident that inspired his EIC keynote - watching two AI agents negotiate a ransomware payment live.

Woche, kurzer Besuch beim Frauenarzt – alles sieht gut aus und mit jeder Woche werden die Sorgen ein bisschen weniger.Danach geht's wie immer quer durch alle Themen, die euch und uns beschäftigen. Wir sprechen darüber, wie Paare ihre Finanzen am besten aufteilen können: beim Zusammenziehen, in der Ehe und spätestens dann, wenn Kinder da sind. Was ist fair? Gemeinsames Konto oder alles getrennt? Und wer trägt eigentlich welchen Anteil, wenn sich das Leben plötzlich komplett verändert?Außerdem philosophieren wir darüber, wie man die Geburtenrate in Deutschland steigern könnte – und kommen zu der (halb ernst gemeinten) Idee, dass Frauen, die Kinder bekommen, prozentual immer weniger Steuern zahlen sollten.Zwischendurch beantworten wir Fragen aus der Community, diskutieren lebenswichtige Themen wie warum Cornflakes mit Zucker einfach besser schmecken und stellen uns vor, wie praktisch ein Eltern-Workshop wäre – am besten wie früher mit einem Tamagotchi zum Üben.

In 1997, David Hampton and Caleb Chung took one look at a Tamagotchi and decided they could bring the virtual pet craze into the real world. Their robotic companion, Furby, packed a bunch of advanced technology into a small, adorable, often annoying package. But for all the irritation it caused (Furby famously had no on-off switch) there was a surprising amount of thoughtful philosophy in its design. The Verge's Vee Song, Sean Hollister and host David Pierce are joined by Coco the Furby to discuss the lore behind the hottest toy of 1998. ⁠Geocities chat with Furby co-inventor David Hampton⁠ If you like the show, ⁠⁠follow the Version History audio podcast feed⁠⁠ to get every new episode.Version History is also on video!

Season 8 takes a deeply emotional turn as Dangerous Dave heads to Capeside for a full retrospective on one of the defining teen dramas of the late 1990s — Dawson's Creek.We rewind to 1998 in What Happened Way Back When, exploring cult films, era-defining songs, and the TV landscape that shaped a generation raised on feelings, film references, and first-love intensity. Retro Headlines set the cultural tone of a world on the brink of the millennium.In an expansive Dangerous Deep Dive, Dave breaks down the origins of Dawson's Creek, its creation by Kevin Williamson, the unforgettable core cast, and the character arcs that made Capeside feel real. From Dawson's idealism to Joey's independence, Pacey's growth, and Jack's groundbreaking coming-out storyline, this episode explores why the show resonated so strongly — and why fans still debate it today.The episode also features:

In Spijkers met Koppen gaan we terug naar 1999! Het jaar van Britney Spears, Tamagotchi's, Napster en Kabinet-Paars II! Willem-Alexander begon de fliten met Máxima en zou het nou toch nog wat worden tussen Bart en Sabine in Big Brother!??! Presentator Pieter van der Wielen zou ongetwijfeld wel eens een aflevering van Big Brother hebben gekeken in het najaar van 1999, maar hij was voornamelijk bezig met een heel andere stad dan Almere waar de studio van Big Brother stond: Parijs! Toen Pieter rond de eeuwwisseling een bijzondere Parijse hotelgids in handen kreeg, overviel hem de gedachte om in elk van de honderdzestig beschreven hotels te moeten slapen. Zo gezegd, zo gedaan. Pieter sliep in accommodaties als Hotel Lautrec Opera, Hotel de Notre Dame en Hotel des Carmes. De bijzonderste overnachtingen, vreemdste ontmoetingen en historische anekdotes schreef hij op in het boek ‘Hotels in Parijs 1999' – een ode aan de lichtstad.  Pieter is bij ons en Dolf wil graag weten waar het lekker tukken is.

Bruce Leroy joins us for a full-on 90s spiral — cartoons, toys, bad decisions, and the strange realization that we're all officially in different phases of life now. With birthdays looming (44, 47, and a “still-only-40”), we talk retirement dreams, food trucks, moving to the Philippines, and why there's no rush to have life figured out.Then we go deep on 90s culture: legendary cartoon intro music, Ninja Turtles vs. GI Joes, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, He-Man being a toy first, and the absolute chaos of Blockbuster nights (including bike theft and surprise movies behind the wrong case). We reminisce about Tamagotchis, Furbies, Pogs, fake candy cigarettes, and doing wildly dumb things as kids — like outrunning a chow named Bear and learning lessons the hard way.We also get into cancel culture, social media, being present at concerts, how posting habits change as we age, and whether the 90s were actually better — or just different. From Dewey Decimal research to today's information overload, from old-school video games building grit to modern attention spans shrinking, we try to make sense of what's gained and what's lost.It's nostalgia, life perspective, and a lot of laughs — plus a reminder that more money doesn't fix bad habits, not everyone has to win, and sometimes falling into a trash can saves your life.Cheers!m&t

Trente ans après leur apparition, les petits œufs électroniques Tamagotchi signent un retour spectaculaire. Pas un simple frisson nostalgique : un vrai phénomène économique.Le chiffre qui résume tout tient en une ligne : les ventes de produits Tamagotchi (hors jeux vidéo) ont été multipliées par environ sept en cinq ans, depuis 2019. Autrement dit, la “renaissance” s'est construite sur la période post-Covid : davantage de temps à la maison, un besoin de réconfort, et l'envie d'objets simples, affectifs, quasi anti-stress.Ce retour s'appuie aussi sur un socle industriel solide. Bandai Namco rappelle qu'au total, plus de 100 millions de Tamagotchi (ces “œufs” de poche) ont été vendus dans le monde depuis le lancement de la marque. Ce volume historique compte, car il transforme le produit en icône transgénérationnelle : les parents d'hier peuvent aujourd'hui offrir à leurs enfants un objet qu'ils ont connu… et s'en racheter un “pour de bon”.Pourquoi ça marche maintenant, alors que le smartphone existe ? Justement parce que le Tamagotchi est l'inverse du smartphone : un usage limité, des règles simples, une petite dose de responsabilité et de récompense. Et surtout, c'est un objet. Il se porte, se montre, se collectionne. La preuve : à Tokyo, l'effet “accessoire de mode” est devenu un argument en soi, notamment chez les plus jeunes. Économiquement, le Tamagotchi profite d'un marché en forte traction : celui des “kidults”, ces adultes qui achètent des jouets pour eux-mêmes, à la frontière entre collection, lifestyle et cadeau. C'est un segment sur lequel Bandai multiplie les déclinaisons : éditions, couleurs, collaborations, et renouvellement régulier des gammes. Et l'actualité alimente la machine : expositions anniversaires, communication événementielle, et mise en scène du produit comme un morceau de culture pop. Au fond, l'histoire est classique… et très moderne. Dans une économie saturée d'écrans et d'abonnements, un petit objet à trois boutons et à l'attachement quasi émotionnel devient un produit parfait : faible barrière d'entrée, fort capital nostalgie, et achat impulsif. Le Covid n'a pas “créé” le Tamagotchi ; il a remis en valeur ce que l'objet vend depuis 1996 : une relation, miniature, mais intense. Hébergé par Acast.

Send us a textNIGHT WATCHMAN (to mic, mock-host energy):Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Late Night at the Toy Museum.Tonight's top story: New Year's Eve is the day after tomorrow, which means the museum is preparing the traditional celebration of “fresh starts”… by using the same extension cords from 1997.And speaking of 1997—remember when our biggest problem was keeping a Tamagotchi alive?Now I can't even keep my phone alive without carrying a charger like it's a life-support system.But enough about me—let's talk about the real drama.No beeping no dramatic monologues no existential crisis from a pocket size objects oh what do we have here he has arrived       Tonight's featured guest is a toy that goes down, comes back up, and somehow still looks smug about it.Now back in the Metropolitan Museum of Toys and Childhood Artifacts, the corridors are quieter than usual. Not because the toys are asleep—no, they've never been less asleep than the week between Christmas and New Year's—but because everyone is waiting.NARRATOR (cont.):Tomorrow night, this museum celebrates New Year's Eve. Tonight is the last night before the countdown begins… and the night watchman makes his rounds with the steady patience of a man who has survived dolls, robots, and electronic creatures.NIGHT WATCHMAN (EBENEZER):All right, Mr. Museum. One more quiet night. That's all I ask.(beat)No beeping. No dramatic monologues. No existential crises from pocket-sized objects.NIGHT WATCHMAN (cont.):…Oh.NARRATOR:He has arrived at the Classics & Skill Toys case. Marbles. Jacks. A paddle ball that looks like it has seen war. And in the center, on a small velvet stand, a simple circle of plastic with a string—resting like a relic.NIGHT WATCHMAN:Don't.YO-YO (smooth, slightly theatrical):I was not doing anything… until you accused me of doing something.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History episodes from the BBC World Service. We learn about how Play-Doh evolved from a cleaning product to a childhood favourite and the creation of one of the best-selling board games of all time, Catan. Our guest is the editor of Toy World Magazine, Caroline Tonks, who takes us through the history of toy crazes. We also hear about the invention of the hoverboard, and how the Tamagotchi allowed people to have their own virtual pet. Plus, how the family favourite game, Jenga, was born in 1970s Ghana. And our Sporting Witness looks at how a piece of software revolutionised the game of football through data analysis. Contributors: Peg Roberts – daughter of Kay Zufall Benjamin Teuber – son of Catan inventor Klaus Teuber Caroline Tonks – editor of Toy World Magazine Shane Chen – the inventor of the hoverboard Akihiro Yokoi – the inventor of the Tamgotchi Leslie Scott – the creator of the game Jenga Ramm Mylavaganam – inventor of ProZone(Photo: The Tamagotchi was introduced in 1996 and is one of the best-selling toys in history.

The Tamagotchi was first released in Japan in 1996 after it was developed by Akihiro Yokoi and his colleagues at his toy development company.Measuring just a few centimetres long, the egg-shaped digital gadget was home to a series of pixelated alien pets.Owners had to feed, clean and play with their pets by pressing three tiny buttons. Looking after your Tamagotchi and seeing them evolve was thrilling for many children and its popularity quickly spread from Japan across the world.Almost 100 million Tamagotchis have been sold in more than 50 countries. Akihiro Yokoi tells Emily Uchida Finch how the hit toy was born, and the impact its prevalence has had on his life and career. A Whistledown production for BBC Witness History.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more. Recent episodes explore everything from the death of Adolf Hitler, the first spacewalk and the making of the movie Jaws, to celebrity tortoise Lonesome George, the Kobe earthquake and the invention of superglue. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: Eva Peron – Argentina's Evita; President Ronald Reagan and his famous ‘tear down this wall' speech; Thomas Keneally on why he wrote Schindler's List; and Jacques Derrida, France's ‘rock star' philosopher.

En este episodio se pone sobre la mesa una idea incómoda: la Navidad también es hipocresía, aunque nos cueste aceptarlo.Recordamos cómo se vivían estas fechas antes del ruido digital, cuando los regalos eran simples, la tecnología apenas existía y la ilusión no venía en una caja cara.Entre recuerdos de Santa, los Reyes, gadgets de los 80s y 90s y consejos tecnológicos de otra época, este programa mezcla nostalgia con una buena dosis de realidad.No es un especial navideño bonito: es una conversación honesta sobre lo que fuimos, lo que somos y en qué se convirtió la Navidad. ¿habra más Tamagotchis?FELIZ NAVIDAD!!

The Five Idiots are back with a Holiday MAYHEM special!

In the 1950s, caller Joy’s dad painted the ceiling of her bedroom navy blue, covered it in glowing stars, and gifted her a telescope! Thousands flock to Downey for the annual masa pilgrimage at the Amapola Market!  Another listener recalls his favorite gift as a kid, a BB gun. However, he accidentally shot a bird and felt so bad, to this day he has never picked up a gun, BB or otherwise. Meanwhile Andy and Rahner talk traumatic haircuts from their past and being dumped by their barber! Andy plays listener talkbacks from people who recall their favorite Christmas gifts when they were kids.  One caller said we mustn’t encourage greed, which Rahner refers to as toy shaming. Media was so much cooler back in the midcentury. In 1996, what was the hottest Christmas gift? Of course it was Tickle Me Elmo! Others that followed include Buzz Lightyear, Tamagotchi, Furbies, Beanie Babies and Bratz Dolls. And now we have the Labubu. Andy rounds out the show by chatting with a GI Joe collector.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ed Butler explores Invest America, a new US government initiative aimed at boosting long-term investment among younger citizens. The plan gives every newborn Americans $1,000 to invest in stocks and shares for their future, and is part of President Trump's controversial 'Big, beautiful' spending bill. We'll also look at concerns over why India is requiring telecom companies to pre-install a government tracking app on all new mobile phones. And we revisit a 90s classic — the Tamagotchi is back on top as Japan's most sought-after children's gift this Christmas, nearly thirty years after it first became a sensation.(Picture: Stock selection of US Dollar notes.

Send Mary and Kelsey a Message!Remember when we as a nation all collectively believed that Beanie Babies would fund high education and down payments on our future homes? In this episode, Mary and Kelsey go back to their Christmas wish lists of the 90s and 2000s and revisit the most-wanted toys. All of their picks included a hint of drama and they break it all down including how the Beanie Baby bubble burst, why Tamagotchi sent kids to the guidance counselor, the time Furby caused a spy scandal, and the litigation-happy founder behind Razor scooters. This episode will have you feeling nostalgic and ready to mark up a Sharper Image catalogue! Support the show Instagram: @whentheypoppedpodTikTok: @whentheypoppedpodEmail: whentheypoppedy2k@gmail.comWebsite: linktree.com/whentheypopped Subscribe to our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=85610411

This week I found myself wandering through a 90s fever dream, yes, there was an actual Tamagotchi pop-up shop, before heading to Chicago for a sold-out show that brought out old students, old stories, and one deeply unimpressed middle schooler. Then, things got even more chaotic when teacher voicemails rolled in: one about 8th graders who can't stop saying “six-seven” (and now in Spanish), and another about a slime experiment gone very, very wrong. Let's just say it involved a phrase no one should ever hear in a science class. Add in a life-saving resource for struggling students and a hill I'm ready to die on why student teachers need to be paid and you've got an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, cringe, and fire. Takeaways: Andrea's surreal discovery of a Tamagotchi pop-up shop in a fully packed 90s-style mall before her Chicago show. A run-in with a 12-year-old fan's son who made it painfully clear parents can't be cool no matter what. A teacher voicemail about students obsessed with the “six-seven” trend and now, thanks to a clever colleague, saying it in Spanish. Another voicemail featuring an 8th grader who made a slime experiment unforgettable for all the wrong reasons. Andrea's passionate plea for change: why student teachers deserve to be paid for their full-time classroom work. -- Teachers' night out? Yes, please!

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, we're diving headfirst into the digital dumpster fire, starting with follow-up that will make you wonder if the rich are finally getting their comeuppance. It seems Tesla's market share is plummeting, and Elon Musk has been unceremoniously knocked off as the world's wealthiest person. Meanwhile, OpenAI and Microsoft are flirting with new partnership terms, and OpenAI is also reportedly cozying up with Oracle for a cloud computing deal. Are they figuring it all out or just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic? You decide.In the news, it's a feast of AI-induced chaos. Anthropic attempted to settle a copyright lawsuit for $1.5 billion, but a judge rejected it. Apple faces scrutiny for allegedly using pirated books to train AI (because who needs original ideas when you can just steal them?), and everyone from Reddit to Yahoo is rushing to get paid for their data being scraped by AI. Google even admits that the open web is struggling, while pushing ads into AI-generated answers and trying to convince us that DOGE never existed. Meanwhile, millions of YouTube videos have been copied by AI companies—because why create when you can just steal? Not to mention, The Boring Company reportedly stopped tunneling after a "crushing injury" (ironic, huh?), Zuckerberg and Palmer Luckey are teaming up again like a disastrous boy band for military-grade goggles, and Meta whistleblowers are exposing child safety issues. Plus, a hot mic caught Zuck groveling to Trump—the cringe is real. And if that wasn't enough, it turns out AI usage is actually declining at big companies, and programmers using AI are creating more security risks than a screen door on a submarine. It's almost like we saw this coming.For your Media Candy fix, get ready for a dose of existential dread. The MTV Video Music Awards are still happening in 2025, with a median viewer age of 56—because nothing screams "youth culture" like osteoporosis. We'll wonder if Wednesday (aka Charlie Sheen) is still winning and discuss Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Amazon Music is launching AI-powered playlists (because who needs a human DJ when you can have an algorithm that thinks it knows your soul?), and Deezer claims 28% of all new music is AI-generated. Taika Waititi is developing a "potentially disastrous" Fyre Fest musical (we're excited!), Foundation is renewed for season 4, and the HBO Max CEO thinks it's "way underpriced"—bless his heart. Plus, more Highlander reboot news that will probably disappoint, and a look at The Missi & Brooke Show and The Traitors Ireland.Finally, in Apps & Doodads, bad news for AirPods Live Translation in the EU, Evernote and WeTransfer's owner is buying Vimeo, and you need this pettable Poké Ball Tamagotchi-style toy. In The Dark Side with Dave, we'll discuss The Princess Bride, how tariffs are ruining hobbies, and who wants "slop for their ears." This episode shows that some things never change, and most things are just getting worse.

Maddy Smith joins us in the Roach Den today as we take a trip down the snowy, keg-filled nooks and crannies of a coupla Buffalo-bred memory lanes. It's like sniffing a sharpie. Or that feeling of a vinyl pencil case in your grubby, fat kid-fingers. So sit back, relax, and feed your Tamagotchi while you listen to the smooth, sultry sounds of two Buffalo Beauties chop it up North Park style.
