Rage baiting is taking the digital world by storm, but is it a clever engagement strategy, or are we tapping into a deeper societal issue? In this episode, we dive into the controversial trend of anger-inducing content with creators like Winta Zeus, exploring its impact on both business models and human interactions. As we navigate this turbulent topic, we'll also give you a sneak peek into NASA's latest triumphs, Hertz's surprising EV sales, and the challenges facing OpenAI. Trust us; you won't want to miss this rollercoaster ride through the future of technology and culture.

Ever thought about buying your rental car? Hertz has an intriguing proposition for you, offering electric vehicle renters the chance to make those temporary rides permanent at competitive prices. We tackle the nitty-gritty of this innovative strategy, looking at the pros and cons of purchasing a vehicle that’s seen a lot of action. From Teslas to Bolts, we weigh the skepticism against the appeal, spicing up our conversation with tips on what to watch out for when taking the plunge into the world of used cars. 

To round off our tech talk with a touch of taste, we uncork a bottle of Traveler Whiskey—a collaboration between Chris Stapleton and Buffalo Trace Distillery. While sipping on this delightful spirit, we make bold predictions for 2025, including the potential rise of satellite connectivity and the nostalgic comeback of phones with tactile keyboards. Expect a lively mix of humor, spirited debates, and a sprinkle of tech fails as we gaze into the crystal ball of technological trends. Grab your headphones and a glass; it’s going to be quite the adventure!
