On this week's episode Melanie and I talk about the fact that Caroline is now home from her long European journey, I sampled the most delicious homemade pies, and why we shouldn't underestimate Gen Z's persistence in selecting the perfect nail polish colors. It's been an eventful week. 

We also have an unplanned - but lively!  - discussion about AI, and it's my turn for Five Favorites.

Enjoy, everybody!
