In this episode of The Brainstorm, Sam, Nick, and Brett unpack Meta Connect, where Muse quietly replaced the metaverse as Zuckerberg's vision for the company. Nick walks through the hardware spread, from audio-only Ray-Bans with no camera, to a 100 gram VR headset at $1,300 that outspecs the Vision Pro at a third of the price, to the Muse Charm, a Tamagotchi-style agent device shipping for the holidays. Brett argues the real target was never virtual reality (VR) but Apple, and that loosening the smartphone's grip is worth more to Meta than any single device. Nick counters that the three things people actually do on their phones are untouched by any of it, and that Meta should just build a phone. Plus whether consumer agents arrived a graphical processing unit (GPU) generation too early, and why owning the consumer may be the best dollar Meta can spend and the one Wall Street would hate most.Key Points From This Episode:Why Meta's $1,300 headset outspecs the Vision Pro, and why that may not matter if nobody wants VRHow agent devices erode Apple's ecosystem lock-in without ever replacing the smartphoneWhy consumer agents may take five years to monetize, and which balance sheets can fund the gapIf you know ARK, you know we focus on long-term innovation.

Você digita o número, confere o candidato e aperta “confirma”. Mas o que acontece com o voto a partir daí? E existe alguma maneira de descobrir em quem você votou? No Podcast Canaltech, a repórter Elisa Fontes conversa com Julio Valente, secretário de Tecnologia da Informação do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), para entender o funcionamento da urna eletrônica sem complicar o assunto. Ele explica como o voto é registrado, por que não fica associado ao nome do eleitor e o que significa dizer que a urna não se conecta à internet. A conversa também passa pelos testes de segurança, pelas mudanças feitas ao longo dos 30 anos da urna eletrônica e pelo uso de inteligência artificial nos testes do sistema. Você também vai conferir: Meta cria “Tamagotchi” com inteligência artificial que cabe no bolso, Spotify deixa usuários ajustarem o próprio algoritmo de recomendações e Xiaomi lança celulares que percebem quando alguém está espiando a tela.

El caso de Maricarmen, una mujer de 87 años que fue desalojada del departamento donde vivió durante más de 70 años, en Madrid, ha desatado una ola de protestas. El presidente surcoreano, Lee Jae-myun, tuvo una reunión tan productiva con Claudia Sheinbaum que hasta se anunció la posibilidad de que BTS vuelva a México en 2027. Tanto Israel como de Palestina hablaron frente a la Asamblea General de la ONU, aunque uno de ellos a la distancia. Meta presentó Muse Charm, algo así como un nuevo Tamagotchi, que se espera sea lanzado en diciembre de este año.

Meta's new AI gadget may look like a Tamagotchi, but its dangling form factor taps into a much broader Gen Z trend around bag charms, retro tech, and turning gadgets into fashion accessories. Also, the OpenAI hacking incident is the first known breach to affect a government agency, and Australia's prime minister has vowed to hold OpenAI accountable. Learn more about your ad choices.

Forget Facebook, Meta is now all about Muse The ads are everywhere! They're all over New York's subway system, billboards, and a nationwide TV commercial. They have a cute mascot named "Jolly", which looks sort of like a polar bear crossed with a Teletubby. They want this AI assistant to be for everyone, especially those who don't know tech jargon or care to. They just want it to be helpful, feel friendly, and do things for you. It doesn't just chat. It operates in the background even when the app is closed, so it can stay on calls or do research tasks or monitor for updates and changes. And it's going to be everywhere Meta is. Not only can you get it via iOS, Android, and macOS, but you can also go through WhatsApp, or even using their new Muse Charm. It's not a "wearable", it's a "holdable". The Tamagotchi-style device is a pocket-sized keychain featuring a touch screen to summon Jolly the mascot. It's got cameras and microphones to interact with it too. It is also slated for integration into Meta's smart glasses. What about security? Meta claims Muse is highly secure because each user's agent runs on an isolated Muse Secure Virtual Machine (VM). They've promised an upcoming "Confidential VM" tier using Signal-protocol encryption so tight that not even Meta can look at the data. But just today, Meta had to bolster its internal safety warnings after a security researcher discovered a vulnerability that could potentially allow attackers to access sensitive personal data via the agent. The product is a massive commercial hit out of the gate, beating out ChatGPT, Claude, and Grok on the App Store charts. The launch successfully drove a massive rally in Meta's stock price.

Is Meta serious about confidential VMs for Muse? Is Charm targeted at kids? Are Meta VR Glasses the best VR glasses yet? In this episode Thomas and Thomas are discussing Meta Connect revelations of 2026! PARTNER OF THE EPISODE: https://immersive-x.de Five years after the metaverse hype, we find ourselves in an era defined by smart glasses and compute pucks. That is the central takeaway from this Meta Connect special of Spatial Realities, where Thomas Bedenk and I sat down right after the keynote to analyze Meta's latest announcements and what they mean for the XR landscape. The clear centerpiece of Meta's strategy is AI, spearheaded by Meta Muse—an autonomous agent running in private virtual machines designed to plan, purchase, and manage everyday digital life. Alongside Muse came an unexpected hardware companion: the Muse Charm. Shaped like a Tamagotchi with a display, camera, and 5G connectivity, it strips the assistant down into a standalone, approachable physical token. But while it feels accessible, it also raises immediate questions about target audiences, privacy boundaries, and how comfortable we truly are handing over our digital routines to an AI ecosystem. On the glasses front, Meta expanded its hardware lineup across multiple tiers. Most notable is the move into pure audio glasses without cameras, trading optical data capture for privacy-conscious users, lighter weight, and extended battery life. Meanwhile, the flagship Ray-Ban Meta line received a Gen 3 upgrade featuring slimmer frames, improved battery life, six microphones, and Dolby Atmos spatial audio capture, accompanied by new frame styles and software-driven hearing corrections. The most discussed hardware of the night, however, was the new Meta VR glasses. Positioned with the tri-part marketing pitch "cinema, computer, console," the device weighs roughly 100 grams on the face by offloading its processing and battery into a wired pocket puck. With micro-OLED displays running at 120 Hz, downward-facing cameras for hand tracking, and integrated eye tracking, Meta aims to deliver a high-clarity spatial viewer rather than an ultra-wide FOV headset. It serves as a spiritual successor to the Quest Pro line, sacrificing peripheral immersion for portability, high PPD sharpness, and lighter wear. At $1,299, the VR glasses mark a distinct shift toward portable media consumption and lightweight computing. Yet, as we examine in our discussion, Meta's recurring bottleneck remains unchanged: while hardware form factors are shrinking into practical devices, the ecosystem still lacks dedicated, mature productivity software to turn spatial computing into an indispensable everyday tool.

Il Giappone ha già nostalgia degli anni '90 e 2000?Dopo la puntata sulla nostalgia Shōwa, Luca e Rudy Vianello entrano nell'Heisei Retro: il revival che riporta in auge Game Boy, Tamagotchi, purikura, gyaru, telefoni a conchiglia, sticker e CD, un immaginario che fino a pochi anni fa sembrava ancora moderno. Si parte dalla sigla in stile Heisei scritta da Rudy per questa puntata.Perché ragazzi nati dopo il 2005 trovano affascinante un mondo che non hanno mai vissuto? Forse non ci manca il telefono a conchiglia, ma un'epoca in cui internet era un posto in cui entravi e da cui potevi uscire: chiudevi lo sportellino e tornavi nel mondo reale. Ma l'era Heisei (1989–2019) non è stata solo colori e J-pop: sono gli anni dei decenni perduti, del terremoto di Kobe, dell'attentato al sarin, del precariato e degli hikikomori.Se abbiamo già nostalgia del 2000, quanto manca alla nostalgia della Reiwa?

In this specially-numbered podcast episode that lines up quite nicely with our Retrocomputing Challenge, Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos met over surprisingly low-latency and loud beverages to bring you the best of the previous week's hacks. But first, the news. German company Isar Aerospace can now claim that they've launched the first spacecraft into orbit from Europe. Be sure to check out the in-link, where we reported on the building of the spaceport. In Hackaday news, the aforementioned Retrocomputing Contest had 64 entries at last check, which is just perfect for Episode 386. Will yours be the 65th? Supercon Ten tickets are selling out, and per Elliot, the talks have been chosen, pending approval by each submitter. Keep an eye on the blog for the official announcement! After reviewing the news, Elliot reached into the ol' Mailbag and found two missives, including another from [Vik Olliver] regarding the printing of LEGO. The other is from [Mendel Munkis], who has been enjoying Wikipedia offline since 2018, thanks to a 32-bit ARM9 processor. Then, it was on to the hacks. Check out the links below if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!
Twenty-nine states are taking Meta to court, and the target is not just money, it is the design itself. We dig into what regulators say keeps kids and teens stuck in engagement loops on Instagram and Facebook, including endless scroll, autoplay, recommendations, like counts, and appearance-altering filters. Then we argue through the harder part: what should platforms be forced to change, what can parents realistically control, and why “addictive by design” is a cultural problem as much as a legal one.From there, we shift to AI in the workplace and ask whether AI monitoring tools actually improve productivity or just create stress and turnover. We break down why surveillance often backfires, when monitoring can help in safety-critical roles, and why trust and clear communication beat dashboards full of activity metrics. For a quick curveball, we react to the White House releasing arcade-style online games and what that says about gamification and branding in 2026.Gwen Way joins us with a nostalgia-powered gadget: Sweekar, an AI pocket pet that feels like a next-gen Tamagotchi. It learns words, stores “memories,” can connect to the internet, and even claims to develop personality traits, which raises the obvious privacy and cybersecurity questions. Mike the AI Guy brings a cautionary story about hikers using Google Gemini to climb Mount Shasta, plus we hit a major airport data breach that exposes millions of records. We also taste and pick a winner in our blind whiskey bracket, because tech goes down smoother with a little bourbon on the side.Subscribe for weekly technology news, share this with a friend who trusts AI a little too much, and leave a review telling us which topic hit closest to home.Send us Fan MailSupport the show

Cette semaine, Jérôme Colombain à Paris et Bruno Guglielminetti à Montréal passent en revue une actualité particulièrement chargée. Elon Musk occupe une bonne partie du début de l'émission avec le lancement du Cybercab, ses discussions avec le gouvernement français sur la voiture autonome et son intervention devant les ministres du G20 sur les centres de données, l'énergie et la réglementation de l'intelligence artificielle. Direction ensuite Berlin pour les premières annonces de l'IFA 2026, avec le retour de Packard Bell, les nouveautés de Xiaomi, l'arrivée du Wi-Fi 8 et les robots humanoïdes. On découvre aussi l'étonnante nouvelle brosse à dents de Dyson équipée d'une caméra et d'un jet d'eau. Autres sujets : John Ternus succède officiellement à Tim Cook à la tête d'Apple, ChatGPT, Reddit et Roblox changent de statut réglementaire en Europe, une étude s'interroge sur les prix proposés par le mode IA de Google et la française Pasqal poursuit son développement dans l'informatique quantique. Sans oublier la controverse autour du « Lake America », une étude finlandaise qui nuance les effets des écrans sur le cerveau des jeunes et le retour du Tamagotchi... sous forme de bague. 00:00 - Introduction et sommaire 02:00 - Tesla lance officiellement son Cybercab 05:00 - La France commence à s'intéresser aux voitures autonomes de Tesla 08:00 - Elon Musk au G20 : centres de données, énergie et intelligence artificielle 13:00 - La contestation contre les centres de données prend de l'ampleur 17:00 - États-Unis contre Europe : la bataille autour de la réglementation de l'IA 20:00 - IFA 2026 : les premières tendances du salon de Berlin 23:00 - Le retour de Packard Bell et les nouveaux ordinateurs abordables 26:00 - Xiaomi mise sur la voiture et la maison connectée 29:00 - Le Wi-Fi 8 commence déjà à faire son apparition 32:00 - Les robots humanoïdes s'installent à l'IFA 34:00 - Dyson lance une brosse à dents avec caméra et jet d'eau 40:00 - John Ternus succède officiellement à Tim Cook chez Apple 44:00 - Le bilan de Tim Cook et les produits qui auront marqué son passage 48:00 - ChatGPT, Reddit et Roblox changent de statut en Europe 51:00 - IA et désinformation : les robots conversationnels sont-ils vraiment neutres? 54:00 - Google AI Mode afficherait des prix plus élevés 57:00 - Gemini dans Chrome et les limites imposées en Europe 1:00:00 - Pasqal et l'informatique quantique française 1:03:00 - Du lac Ontario au « Lake America » : quand la politique modifie les cartes numériques 1:09:00 - Écrans et cerveau des jeunes : une étude finlandaise bouscule les idées reçues 1:14:00 - Le Tamagotchi revient sous forme de bague 1:17:00 - Cette semaine dans Mon Carnet : Stéphane Ricoul passe à la fiction 1:20:00 - Cette semaine dans Monde Numérique : IA, cybersécurité et main robotique 1:23:00 - Conclusion
Le robotaxi de Tesla ouvre une nouvelle ère automobile · Musk alerte sur la faim énergétique de l'IA · Les nouveautés de l'IFA 2026 · Dyson filme désormais vos dents · Apple change de patron · ChatGPT Reddit et Roblox passent sous le DSA · Pasqal accélère aux États Unis · Lake America apparait Google Maps · Une étude bouscule les idées reçues sur les écrans · Tamagotchi revient au doigt.Avec Bruno Guglielminetti (Mon Carnet)===============Cybercab : Elon Musk ouvre un nouveau chapitre de la voiture autonomeLe Cybercab de Tesla, sans volant ni pédales, symbolise le passage du robotaxi de la démonstration à la circulation réelle, avec une approche reposant sur les caméras et l'intelligence artificielle plutôt que sur le lidar. Quarante cinq véhicules ont été mis en circulation dans plusieurs villes du Texas. Un nouveau paradigme automobile.La France va tester la conduite autonome de TeslaPas de Cybercab en France, pour l'instant, mais le Gouvernement va autoriser la conduite autonome par FSD (Full Self-Driving) de Tesla. Le ministre des transport Philippe Tabarot l'a annoncé après s'être entretenu en visioconférence avec Elon Musk mercredi 2 septembre. De sosn côté Waymo se positionne en Europe. La bataille réglementaire ne fait que commencer.Elon Musk veut moins de règlementation et plus d'électricité pour l'IA Devant des responsables du G20, Elon Musk plaide pour davantage de centres de données tout en prévenant que leur développement se heurte déjà aux limites de la production électrique. Aux États-Unis, la course à l'IA attise les tensions locales autour de l'électricité et de l'eau, tandis qu'en Europe les acteurs du secteur dénoncent des procédures trop longues et des réglementations jugées susceptibles de ralentir l'innovation.IFA 2026 : ordinateurs abordables, maison connectée et Wi-Fi 8À IFA Berlin, Acer relance Packard Bell avec des ordinateurs accessibles, pendant que Samsung renforce également son offre de portables abordables. Xiaomi pousse son écosystème Human Car Home et sa gamme Mijia pour la maison connectée, tandis que les premières annonces autour du Wi-Fi 8 et les démonstrations de robots humanoïdes préfigurent les prochaines tendances technologiques.Dyson : une brosse à dents avec caméraDyson se lance dans l'hygiène bucco-dentaire avec la CameraJet, une brosse électrique à 479 euros associant caméra, analyse des espaces entre les dents et jet interdentaire. L'application permet même de regarder en direct l'intérieur de sa bouche, une débauche technologique impressionnante dont le prix et les comparaisons mises en avant par Dyson invitent néanmoins à garder un regard critique.John Ternus prend les commandes d'AppleDepuis le 1er septembre, John Ternus succède à Tim Cook à la tête d'Apple, quelques jours seulement avant une keynote très attendue. L'occasion de revenir sur le bilan spectaculaire de Cook, de l'Apple Watch au développement des puces maison en passant par l'échec relatif du Vision Pro, mais aussi sur la première prise de parole de Ternus sur X, qui rappelle le poids persistant du réseau dans la communication des dirigeants. À écouter aussi : Apple : Tim Cook passe la main à John Ternus.ChatGPT, Reddit et Roblox passent sous le DSAAvec plus de 45 millions d'utilisateurs européens, ChatGPT et OpenAI, Reddit et Roblox entrent dans une catégorie réglementaire européenne qui renforce leurs obligations face aux contenus illicites, aux risques pour les mineurs et à la désinformation. Dans le même temps, une enquête de Reporters sans frontières montre que plusieurs agents IA peuvent restituer des contenus issus de médias russes sanctionnés dans l'Union européenne, Meta AI étant le seul outil testé à avoir systématiquement refusé.Pasqal engrange les dollars L'entreprise française Pasqal, spécialiste des ordinateurs quantiques à atomes neutres, poursuit son expansion avec de nouveaux moyens financiers et une offensive sur le marché américain. Une étape majeure pour une entreprise issue de la recherche française, présentée comme l'un des rares acteurs hexagonaux capables de jouer dans la cour mondiale du quantique.Lake America : quand la politique redessine les cartes numériquesLe changement de nom américain d'une partie du lac Ontario en Lake America provoque des répercussions immédiates dans les services cartographiques. Google Maps puis Apple Maps adaptent leur affichage en fonction du pays de consultation, tandis que MapQuest profite de la polémique au Canada pour retrouver temporairement une visibilité inattendue.Écrans et adolescents : une étude finlandaise bouscule les idées reçuesL'étude PANIC a suivi 260 jeunes pendant huit ans et observe une association entre davantage de temps d'écran déclaré et de meilleures performances sur certaines mesures cognitives à l'adolescence. Les chercheurs ne démontrent toutefois aucun lien de cause à effet : la nature des activités numériques et l'équilibre avec le sommeil, l'activité physique et les autres dimensions de la vie quotidienne restent essentiels.Tamagotchi revient… sous forme de bagueTrente ans après le phénomène original, Bandai miniaturise encore son animal virtuel et transforme le Tamagotchi en bague. Même principe qu'autrefois : nourrir et surveiller une petite créature numérique qui réclame régulièrement de l'attention, avec cette fois la nostalgie comme puissant argument commercial.Les rendez-vous de la semaineDans Mon Carnet, Stéphane Ricoul – Mon Carnet abandonne cette saison le commentaire d'actualité pour proposer une série de fictions technologiques dans l'esprit de Black Mirror et des anciens radioromans. De son côté, Monde Numérique retrouve son rythme de rentrée avec L'Hebdo, notamment autour de l'éducation et de l'IA, de la cybersécurité avec Benoît Grunemwald – ESET, ainsi que d'une étonnante main robotique développée pendant plusieurs années par un inventeur indépendant.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

On this episode of @Betches, Aleen and Jordana are fully in back-to-school mode and feeling very nostalgic about it. They look back at everything from questionable childhood haircuts and embarrassing school lunches to Lisa Frank, Tamagotchis, Furbies, gel pens, 100 Calorie Packs, and Beanie Babies, and decide which trends still hold up and which belong in detention. Plus, Aleen talks about getting her daughter ready for kindergarten, Jordana shares what her first summer as a mom was really like, and they compare the chaos of growing up in the 2000s to raising kids now.

Sorg, Katie Dudas, and Dave Podnar explore an AI pocket pet that grows up with its owner, clues pointing toward camera-equipped Apple AirPods, TikTok's concerning voice-call feature, robots building electric vehicles, changes to YouTube view counts, retro Mario experiments, and more technology news from Pittsburgh. This week's stories and gadgets: Pittsburgh Shootout preview: Sorg and Katie prepare to photograph the independent Formula SAE-style event at Summit Point Motorsports Park after the former Pittsburgh Raceway property was sold for a data center. Hello Kitty x Godzilla Happy Meals: Katie arrives with McDonald's crossover toys and begins the hunt for the complete collection, including Hello Kitty Godzilla, Chococat with SpaceGodzilla, and Kuromi with Mechagodzilla. TikTok voice-call warning: Dave demonstrates how TikTok users can make direct voice calls and explains why parents should review the feature. Users can go to Profile, Settings and Privacy, Notifications, and Voice Calls to limit notifications to no one, people they follow, or everyone. The calling capability itself may still remain available. See the settings reference used during the show. Drive through Google Street View: Hop Earth turns real-world map data into a browser-based driving game. Sorg attempts to create a Pittsburgh route while discovering that the experimental experience can be demanding on a computer with too many open tabs. Awesome Person of the Week: Dave celebrates Pittsburgh-area chemist Stephanie L. Kwolek, whose persistence and polymer research at DuPont led to the development of Kevlar. ChachiSays Video Game Minute: Ohio is suing Roblox over allegations involving investor disclosures and protections for children. A real Freddy Fazbear's Pizza experience inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's is planned for a New Jersey mall in 2027. The FAA recruited more than 2,000 gamers as prospective air traffic controllers following a change in recruitment strategy. An AI Tamagotchi that grows up: Sweekar is an interactive AI pocket pet that progresses from baby to child, teenager, and adult. Its personality develops according to how its owner interacts with it, and it can recognize people, remember interests, offer reminders, tell stories, use an accompanying app, and wear collectible outfits. Apple's possible camera-equipped AirPods: A video discovered inside a macOS update appears to demonstrate visual intelligence through AirPods. The hosts discuss the possibility of tiny cameras helping users identify objects and places, along with the major privacy questions Apple would need to address. The product remains speculative. AllTrails Hidden Tracks: Katie highlights Hidden Tracks from AllTrails, a collection of crowdsourced alternatives to heavily visited national parks and trails. Fandom becomes a business: A creator turned a niche idea involving Dungeon Crawler Carl-themed commentary and cosplay into a successful subscription project. The hosts examine the creator's reported early results and the growing economy around fan-made merchandise and content. Super Mario Bros. Wonder on the SNES: The hosts play with a fan-made Super Nintendo-style demake featuring Wonder Flowers, Drill Mario, Bubble Mario, and a Bowser Jr. battle. Robots inside Hyundai's EV factory: Dave takes the show inside Hyundai's Georgia Metaplant, where autonomous sleds move vehicles between workstations and Boston Dynamics robot dogs assist with quality inspections. YouTube is changing how views appear: YouTube plans to align its public view counting more closely with TikTok and Instagram by counting a view when playback begins. Creator earnings will continue to depend on engaged Shorts views and watch hours, making engagement more important than the public total. Dave celebrates the iPhoneography Podcast passing 100,000 plays and shares highlights from a recent conversation with photographer Jefferson Graham.

Alright, welcome back to Žižek & So On. This week continues OUR SERIES on the systematic aspects of Žižek's thought & we're taking a look (once again) at the logic of interpassivity in Žižek through the work of Robert Pfaller.What the fuck is interpassivity? We're talking why commodities are the real fetishists who do the believing for us, hired mourners weeping at funerals so you can plan the inheritance, brushing your teeth by moving your whole head, and why the Greek chorus was just performing emotional labor so the audience could eat dolmathas in peace.Was your Tamagotchi maintaining your belief in the Big Other?To follow along with all the episodes in this series and to get access to all our interviews, Patreon episodes, and SHORT SESSIONS please SUPPORT US to keep the project going.See you in Paris,Ž&…

Grab your flip phone, frost those lips, and feed your Tamagotchi. This week, Amanda, Reese, and Iman are (be kind) rewinding to The Cult of Y2K with PEN15 co-creator and star Anna Konkle (@annaryankonkle). Join us as we take you on a magic school bus tour of butterfly clips and bedazzled Razrs all the way through to the very real panic that computers were about to end civilization and ending with why the early 2000s have become one of the internet's favorite religions. Were we really nostalgic for low rise jeans or are we just mourning the last time the internet felt like somewhere you visited instead of somewhere you lived? We dive into Y2K doomsday conspiracies, tweenhood, Britney Spears, ugly bedrooms, and why today's version of Y2K feels like a collective coping mechanism.

James and Robert are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week they're getting REAL about the products they actually spend their own money on – not PR, not sponsorships, but genuine favourites they can't live without! Robert kicks things off by revealing he's potentially moving and has been sorting through his hoarding habits – specifically his obsession with Olive Young Korean beauty hauls. Turns out he has about 20 bottles of one serum that he keeps repurchasing because he finishes them so quickly, plus an entire collection of Tamagotchi multi-purpose balms that he's too self-conscious to film! From there, they dive into their actual favourite products: James raves about the eye whitening drops that make his eyes look impossibly bright, Robert goes deep on a lifting cream calling it a proper old-fashioned anti-ageing moisturiser. Robert rants about TikTok Shop sellers claiming it's a "Botox cream" (a lie) or namedropping Cardi B as if her endorsement matters – spoiler: it doesn't need celebrity backing to be genuinely good. The twins wrap up with the reminder that these are products they've actually paid for with their own money because they work, not because they were gifted.

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? 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.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.Denver International Airport to build pedestrian walkways between concoursesThe 1 Undiscussed Illness That Spikes During The Summer, According To DoctorsWorrying new bullying trend emerging in school cafeterias, mental health experts warnYou can now get paid $2K a month to be an AI 'masturbation consultant'Walmart 30-minute-or-less delivery now available in St. Louis marketFlorida Taco Bell Keep Your 'Chimichanga' to Yourself ...
