Summary
We were worried we might not have anything left to talk about on the show (spoiler alert, we were wrong). We discuss the good and bad uses of AI, why it can be a better doctor than a human, why it's more dangerous than plastic, and why Sarah can't quit ChatGPT. Sarah explains why misinformation is causing more marriages than anything else. We share what our "favorite" conspiracy theories are, and why we sort of believe them. Sarah almost got struck by lightning, and why she wants people to be more careful during storms. We hear why there might be a cure for the vision issues of growing old, and we find out that essential oils actually are...essential.

| 0:00.0 | Hi friends. |
| 0:05.7 | Susan and I were having a hilarious conversation before we started where I was telling Susan |
| 0:11.3 | I'm like, I don't know, what do I have? |
| 0:13.0 | Do I, maybe I have stuff. |
| 0:14.6 | And then I told her I have 17 pages worth of stories to talk about on here. |

| 0:33.5 | Right. |
| 0:34.3 | We always think that. |
| 0:36.2 | Yeah, because every, no lie, every week I'm like, |
| 0:41.0 | I don't have anything. Yeah, right. And then, and then, but see, we say that, even though I know |
| 0:50.4 | that both you and I have individually saved at least five to ten articles or highlighted things |

| 1:10.0 | material. That goes into the vintage file. |

| 1:18.1 | you know. And there's, man, there is new stuff coming out, like the scientific discoveries that |
| 1:24.7 | are happening, especially in the medical field. I think this might be some of the advantages of AI. I was having a conversation with my brother, and he was talking about how, you know, the project before was mapping out the human genome. And now the project is like creating these very intricate protein chains or something like that. And |
