The AI Knows Where I Work, What I Drive And Where My Dogs Went

Alex asks his AI what it actually knows about him and it spits out where he works, what truck he drives, that his dogs got picked up by the rangers, and where the material for his jobs is stacked at the workshop. Then it gets creepier. We get into how Walmart worked out women were pregnant before they knew themselves, why your flybys card is a dossier not a discount, and whether targeted ads are a con or exactly what you asked for. Plus a HYROX disaster nobody can unsee, the Sydney Sweeney betting ad, and a $1500 heated bidet seat Troy reckons changed his life.

In this episode:
- The AI that knew Alex's award, his renovation, and where his dogs ended up
- How supermarkets figured out you were pregnant before you did
- Why your flybys card is a tracking device dressed up as a discount
- The HYROX shit-yourself-and-still-win saga and whether we'd stop her at our own event
- The Sydney Sweeney gambling ad and whether it's genius or just slimy
- Troy's $1500 heated bidet seat and the figure-eight spray
- Cabinet makers, dodgy walls, and why every touch makes it worse
- The mine-site cable that got wiped out four times because nobody would run it underground
