E109: Prince Harry Gets Handsy with Reachy!
Episode description
All is not well! This week, panting with anxiety, we attempt to turn our attention to the brilliant innovations revealed at CES in Las Vegas, like a toilet paper fetching robot and “Reachy,” a droid of unknown purpose that costs $17,000 and looks like a gondolier. Also on the docket: Rachel shares a story about her misadventures in freelancing; Sir Rod Stewart gets slapped with a misdemeanor after trying to break into a private childrens’ party at the Breakers Palm Beach; the Art Basel banana becomes the subject of a legal battle (or is it just part of the art?); AirBnb is using AI to identify narcissistic guests; and finally, a TikTok grifter named Paul Zimmer has reemerged online under a confusing new identity.
