Description

Robot scandals are heating up — and Kris Abel is here for all of it. This episode breaks down how humanoid robots are getting so realistic that companies now have to prove they’re not faking it. From Tesla’s bot flopping on stage (literally) to Chinese tech firms staging martial arts demos with robot fighters, the line between sci-fi and PR stunt is thinner than ever.

Plus: A Swiss watch you can only buy if it’s snowing in Switzerland, and a time-travel-worthy subway ride through 1930s New York. Robots, nostalgia, and marketing weirdness — this one’s a ride.
