David talks about a missing ballot, then covers stories: Man discovers he bought his own stolen car; and ChatGPT CEO says "please" and "thank you" costs millions in computing power. Jodi Wellman explains the psychology of wanting to leave things early. On Pet Talk, David explains his ballot situation (again) to veterinarian Dr. Cliff Redford. Cliff tells David why cats make good therapy animals (with some issues) and why some say it's not safe for dogs to drink from communal water bowls. (Check out Cliff's podcast here.) Caitlin Green, media personality and co-host of The Jan Arden Podcast joins the show on Pop Cultured, Like Fungus and shares why Justin Beiber is asking for change when it comes to paparazzi and why people think Katy Perry's new tour stinks. David and Caitlin go over what the Internet thinks people are 100% brainwashed into believing they need. Ovya Barani talks about her viral treadmill cat Oliver. (Follow Oliver here or here.) Dr. Avery Haviv reveals that YouTube game videos paradoxically decrease demand for games.
