Stop The Pigeon

About this episode

The season 4 premiere dives into chaotic childhood memories and unexpected topics while introducing new season themes.

We're back! Season 4 of Standard Deviation Podcast kicks off with an unhinged, completely off-the-rails episode where Simo and Juliana attempt to say hello but end up deep in Romanian childhood chaos, bartering pigeons, and the questionable economics of happy hour poker. Somewhere in between, Simo reveals he's getting a puppy (which gets completely overshadowed by Juliana’s dad's animal trade escapades). We promise, the season will have more structure—real guests, real discussions on data, AI, and analytics—but for now, let’s just embrace the madness. Welcome back.
