The Goblin, the Drone, and the Wi-Fi Router Walk Into a Bar…
In this week’s SouthGeek News, the guys dive deep into tech, AI, aliens, and all things absurdly geeky. Donovan’s upgrading networks like a mad scientist, Ben’s turning his studio into a low-budget EDM lab, and Sam’s exploring Fallout 76 because apparently the apocalypse is more relaxing than real life. They geek out over Wi-Fi 8 (“faster, but not that fast”), real estate agents using AI to catfish homebuyers, and Georgia Tech launching drones that’ll “respond in 90 seconds or less—whether you called them or not.” We also learn that your gaming mouse might be spying on you, SpaceX satellites are falling from the sky like cosmic junk mail, and ChatGPT is auditioning to be your next operating system. Then Sam steals the show with a spine-tingling tale of Kentucky’s Kelly-Hopkinsville Goblins—because nothing says “tech podcast” like glowing eyes in the Appalachian dark. Oh, and yes, someone inevitably made a genital-warts joke. It’s SouthGeek News. You were warned.
