From tongue to taint, CES 2026 had products for every part of your body and your life.  You can get an AI pet, or an AI girlfriend, or even an AI nutritionist that tells you to eat the one piece of broccoli served with that corn tortilla.  And yes, there's poop... and sex stuff.  No combination of the two that we saw, but 2027 is only a year away.

The clock-change from Daylight Savings Time almost cost us a guest!  In the confusion, we start in on the mailbag and talk about digitizing our brains, but then (approximately 46:00) outstanding human (and so much more) Kim Farbota arrives and teaches us about neuroscience, why AI Art isn't the artpocalypse, and how Instagram's algorithm sometimes... well... sucks.  You absolutely MUST check out Kim's work on her Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/kim.farbota/!

Ben from https://chasingthewhimsy.com/ has come back to bring the MUCH-needed good vibes and also some amazing presents!  We talk podcast awards, new show ideas, and more.  ... THEN Jeff ruins everything by opening up Conspiracy Corner to talk about Trump's obviously-AI video about the assassination of Charlie Kirk.  Also, Jef gives us some hope that aliens are coming to either save us or wipe us out.  We're good either way.

Left all alone, Jeff decided to sit in his closet and attempt to read you to sleep.  Topics include: Cracker Barrel, the new head of the CDC, new solar cell technology, and a deep dive into the island of Tetepare.  But because this is still Suggested Articles, there's also talk about sci-fi movies, Wendy's, poop, and, of course, Taco Bell.  Feedback would be immensely appreciated!

This week we are joined by Kierstin, who is, by her own account, a bonafide COMMUNIST.  We take this shocking news in stride as we try to learn what is and isn't actual Communism, and how Kierstin's political and economic beliefs shape her feelings about Technology, The Algorithm, and Taco Bell. She seems nice, so maybe give her a shout on TikTok: @kierkanceled We have faces!
