Which company wished a happy Father's Day to people who weren't their customers?

The answer to that at the end of the show.

My name's Tom Scott, and this is Lateral.

Welcome to the show, a kind of full-body yoga, where even your mind has to bend and stretch.

So joining us in the studio today, we start with Beryl Cherashevsky. Hi! Now, last time we were on,

we rattled through a lot of questions between the group very, very quickly. So I'm going to

ask, what is it that you're working on now that you are really looking forward

to producing? Do you mean, like, for my channel or like life in general? I mean, I can ask it

as a big existential question. Yeah, I wasn't sure. I was just going for the YouTube channel.

Oh, right. I was like, yeah, I don't know. Like, love, loss. Okay, sorry, I'll answer that more accurately.

Can I just pick up or do you have to ask that question once more?

Honestly, that'll probably stay in.

Oh, okay.

Coming up, I have a new series launching that is going to help people learn how to navigate international

grocery stores a little bit better, where people from those cultures are going to guide me

through different stores. So we're going to a Filipino grocery store. We're going to a Middle

Eastern grocery store. That way you could go and not just kind of walk around befuddled by

everything. You keep having format ideas that I'm,

like, there's a point of which an idea is so good that I get angry about it and you keep having

those. It's not like, I could do that series. I've got no cooking experience. I'm just genuinely

impressed by that. Yeah. Also joining us, we have from Nothing But Tech, Jacqueline Dallas.

Thanks for having me on. I totally agree with that. The format is like everything. Like, if you have a brilliant idea, it's like hot ones on YouTube where like the progressively hotter and hotter wings. And then the questions, that is just so brilliant. What's your format at the moment then? What are you working on? Ooh. Yeah, I've been doing more day and life reviews for fraud stuff. So again, like that dual narrative, like hot ones you watch to like see how the guest reacts to the wings and then also see their answers and questions. And for tech videos, it's like you're watching to see how the product performs, then also what I'm doing on a day to day. And then I'm also doing interviews with tech executives. Did I see a custom mug there? Was that your own brand of mug?
