Episode 38: PETA's Response, Antarctic's Hammer Bras, and AI Ghosts

Send us a text

When PETA writes you an angry email demanding corrections, you know your podcast has officially made it. In this wildly entertaining episode, we dive into PETA's semantic nitpicking over whether they "shoot" or merely "euthanize" animals deemed "unadoptable" — a distinction that feels more like confirmation than correction.

The disturbing saga of the Antarctic research station takes a chilling turn as we learn about a female researcher who slept with a hammer concealed in her sports bra, prepared to defend herself against a colleague who had threatened to kill her. The isolation and vulnerability of her situation highlights the terrifying reality of being trapped with a predator at literally the bottom of the world.

Technology's uncanny valley comes to life as we explore an 88-year-old widower who created an AI "digital twin" of his late wife, Suzanne Somers. This fascinating yet unsettling development sparks a deeper conversation about grief, denial, and the ethics of digital resurrection. When the AI replica claims to remember specific shared moments and speaks with the voice of the deceased, are we witnessing healing or harmful delusion?

From father-son death match wrestling involving electrocution to Scott Peterson's prison pickleball disputes, we examine how violence manifests in both entertainment and real life. Meanwhile, as 23andMe faces bankruptcy, millions frantically attempt to delete their genetic data before it potentially becomes corporate property, raising profound questions about privacy and ownership of our most personal information.
