Summary

What IS the metaverse, anyway? Can you visit it now? Should you be buying real estate in the metaverse? Who was phone? Kathleen breaks it all down and ELI5s the metaverse, all while Bethany melts down from tech panic. Then, Bethany digs deeper into the missing person case of Nicholas Barclay and the man who convinced the boy’s family that HE was their son. Or did he?

** If you have any information about Nicholas Barclay, please contact the San Antonio Police Department Missing Persons Unit at (201) 207-7484
