Number 1: Meta pays $18 billion for hooking kids, plus the farm that turned down $26 million
Meta agreed to pay $18 billion. It’s the largest settlement of its kind, over claims the company built Facebook and Instagram to hook children on purpose. Lori Schott knows exactly why that matters. She lost her daughter Annalee to suicide in 2020 after social media consumed her life. Lori has spent every year since fighting to get platforms, and parents, to change. Her story will stop you cold. Plus, a Kentucky family turned down $26 million from an AI data center for their 200-year-old farm. Their answer? They’re waiting for Jesus. (Seriously.) And two viral TikToks worth your time. Maria spotted a security camera right outside her exam room. At a gynecologist’s office. Yikes. B.D. watched his Shake Shack order get more expensive in real time. Why? He didn’t tip at the kiosk. That video is past 4 million views. Milkshakes bring all the fees to the yard. Also this hour: An Amazon drone drops a package in a swimming pool, scammers clone EBT cards at checkout, your router can sense you moving through your house and a $25 antenna gets you football without a cable bill.

Number 2: A cop searched his ex 717 times. Flock’s CEO admitted it.
A Florida cop ran his ex-wife’s plate 717 times on a camera network watching 120,000 American streets. This week, Flock Safety cofounder Garrett Langley admitted police have abused his license plate cameras but insisted Flock isn’t Big Brother. Both can’t be true. Electronic Frontier Foundations’ Dr. Matthew Guariglia joins me to sort out which one is. Plus, a reporter hid an AirTag in a stack of books to find out what Amazon was really doing with them. Spoiler: shredding them to feed AI. And there’s a T. rex involved. Also, a listener dropped her phone in an airplane toilet. She went in after it. Gloved. Elbow deep. The phone survived. Her dignity did not. EPISODE BREAKDOWN: 0:00 McDonald’s app is keeping 515 pages on how you eat. 6:43 Flock’s CEO admits cops abused his cameras. 15:22 AI drafts Andrew’s fantasy football team.

Number 3: He cloned himself. Now he wants the organs
Bryan Johnson already took blood from his own teenage son. Now the anti-aging mogul says he’s cloned himself as a newborn to grow spare organs. His words, not mine. Before you picture a tiny Bryan in a crib, breathe. What’s actually in that petri dish is a long way from a baby. Plus, Flock license plate cameras are in your neighborhood, while the company’s own CEO reportedly dodges the tech. (Read that twice.) I got an HOA letter about someone destroying them. 404 Media’s Matthew Gault on data centers and whether they’re quietly padding your electric bill. And a listener built himself an AI wife. A bad one based on movie villains. First man in history to engineer more nagging into his life. On purpose. Free college cash, a drone that got someone’s insurance canceled and the honest answer to “Is my phone listening?” EPISODE BREAKDOWN: 0:00 A guy moved into a house. On a billboard. Over a highway. 4:44 Flock cameras: Why the CEO dodges his own tech. 11:32 Prenups add an AI cheating clause. Seriously. 13:49 A relative threatened her life. How she locked down her internet. 19:07 Bryan Johnson cloned himself as a newborn (spoiler: It’s not a baby). 17:56 Your phone and your license plate are now a matched set. 26:56 AI found this family free college cash. 36:00 The end of gravity? The hoax that fooled millions. 40:00 A drone flew over your roof. Your insurance got canceled. 45:39 The fake carbon monoxide alarm knocking on your door. 54:06 He built an AI wife based on movie villains. It went how you’d think. 58:32 A dress rehearsal for the meeting you’re dreading. 1:00:39 Is the data center down the road on your electric bill? 1:09:21 Hackers steal intimate photos to blackmail people. 1:10:36 A radio station announced King Charles was dead. He’s fine. 1:16:14 The FAA is recruiting gamers as air traffic controllers. 1:18:33 Robots are flipping burgers. Nobody calls in sick. 1:20:53 Save your family photos before the next wildfire. 1:26:29 Is your phone always listening? The honest answer. 1:33:13 From EMT to casino manager to AI side hustle. Love the show? Tap follow, so you never miss an episode, and leave a 5-star review. It takes 10 seconds, and it’s how new listeners find us. I read every single one. If Bryan’s clone ever asks to borrow the car, hand over the keys. Kid’s got his eyes. And his liver.
