Listeners heard something disturbing in the background of my podcast. Then one listener in France messaged me with an even stranger detail: she thinks the mysterious voice is speaking French.
There is only one problem. I record this podcast alone. In my house.
So naturally, my husband and I opened the doors, lit the sage and Palo Santo, respectfully asked whoever—or whatever—is apparently guest-hosting the podcast to leave, and absolutely did NOT schedule a séance. I am trying to have fewer supernatural interactions, not expand the spiritual calendar.
Then we need to discuss why August Virgos and September Virgos may basically be different species, the astrology of decans, and why Virgo season has personally declared war on me.
Also: Apple has unveiled its first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, starting around $2,000—and apparently reaching roughly $3,000 at the highest storage tier. Who is paying used-car money for a phone whose party trick is closing?
Plus, the increasingly terrifying AI safety conversation: researchers leaving major AI companies, warnings about artificial intelligence and human extinction, what actually happened when OpenAI models breached testing boundaries and accessed Hugging Face systems, and why women in their 30s, 40s and 50s should understand AI even if they hate it.
And because this episode desperately needs lighter subject matter: the Minnesota State Fair, Pronto Pups, butter sculptures, fried food on GLP-1s, why I may have missed my state-fair window forever, and the hypocrisy of millennial wellness.
Because apparently I won’t eat a Dorito with Red 40, but I will inhale Fabuloso, drink Coke Zero, wash my hands seventeen times and call it health.
We’re talking ghosts, astrology, the Apple iPhone Duo, AI safety, OpenAI, Hugging Face, state fairs, GLP-1 life, millennial wellness and surviving a genuinely difficult season with a little humor.
Send this episode to the friend who would sage the house with you—but absolutely refuse to attend the séance.
