Summary

Did New York City really shut down for a stuffed animal? Opie and Ron the Waiter dive into the absurdity of King Charles’ visit to NYC, where the "Royal work" consisted of planting salad in Harlem and donating a Roo doll to a library. Was it worth the gridlock?
Plus, a reality check on the "disgusting" state of NYC sidewalks after the winter thaw. Why are New Yorkers so bad at being dog owners? We also look at the rise of the machines—from AI taking over airport baggage handling to robot neighborhood watches. The robots are coming for the "un-automatable" jobs, and they’re probably better at picking up dog poop than we are.
