Wow, duckies… what a week. The kind of week that makes you want to book a group therapy session and bring snacks.

So this episode, your hosts decided to take a deep breath and run through some of the biggest — and heaviest — stories closing out February. Because if you’ve glanced at a headline lately, you already know it’s been a lot. From small absurdities to major global tensions, the news cycle has been doing the absolute most.

We’re talking about OpenAI stepping into the national security chat, and the bigger conversation that sparked for us about just how secure things really feel right now — especially with a new conflict involving Iran unfolding. Light stuff, right?

We also touch on some truly heartbreaking stories, including the tragic passing of a crew member from Deadliest Catch and yet another devastating shooting, this time in Austin, Texas.

It’s been one of those weeks where the headlines hit fast and don’t let up. So we’re doing what we do best: ripping the band-aid off, giving you our honest (and occasionally side-eyeing) takes, and moving through it together. Because sometimes all you can do is say your piece, shake your head a little, and head to the next story.

But anyways, you tell us!

- do you use A.I. Chatbots? What a government contract deter you from their use?

- What about this human based server for the Meta Glasses, would you prefer this product be based on AI instead of a human watchdog?

- And will Maura ever trust another human again?
