Hear about several examples of—plus a fun encounter with—AI based scams! Avoid being taken advantage of and tremble at the future of AI! Mourn and celebrate the passing of KJ’s much-venerated 1964 International Travel-all! Listen to several leftover chunks of last episode’s What We Did on Our Summer Vacation! Enjoy some Snappers and even more! It’s all here, so don’t even hesitate; just dive right in and enjoy!
