Fish & Chip Crisps, Tamagotchi Deaths & Weird Bangkok News ? | S2E7 (#42)

This week on the podcast we discuss Tamagotchi neglect, fish & chip crisps, dangerously spicy Irish spice bags, ChatGPT confidently lying to your face, and why a monk owns a $9,000 Counter-Strike knife. We also cover the Bangkok “sex bridge”, an AC unit landing on a Chinese table, Pattaya scissors robberies, and whether Bangkok’s biggest tourist spots are actually worth bothering with.

If you’re learning English, apparently this podcast is educational now, although listening to two blokes from Wolverhampton argue about monitor lizards, mineral water, and sexy Osaka coffee shops probably isn’t officially recommended.
