About this episode
Chris and Sam discuss unusual road trips, birthday surprises, and the dangers of microwaving fish at work.
Summary This week, Chris gears up for field days while plotting an unusual Auckland road trip with a mystery driver, and Sam sets off 24 days of birthday surprises with the help of a 24-sided die. There's talk of AI stealing podcast voices, disembodied brains being used in biotech startups, and a Kickstarter cooling blanket that costs more than a night out. The discussion explored sky-watching gadgets, rogue robots, and why microwaving fish at work might be the most dangerous move of all—just ask the cop who drew a gun over it. All this and much more in this week's episode.
