Summary

Everyone keeps talking about AI like it's just some helpful tool… but what's actually happening right now? It's a lot bigger than most people realize.

This episode starts with something that honestly feels a little unhinged… AI employees showing up in company directories, massive layoffs being blamed on automation, and creators competing with content that isn't even made by real humans anymore. And once you see it, you can't unsee it.

But then it takes a turn… into looksmaxxing, teenage boys chasing perfection, peptides being used way too casually, and the kind of trends spreading online that most of us don't even realize are influencing people this young.

And in the middle of all of that… some very real life updates, including what happened after Bob's memorial, the regret that hit afterward, and the unexpected perspective that helped shift it.

This one covers a lot… but it all connects.
