#289: Westminster Dog Show, Scarlett Johansson AI, Kansas City Chiefs

Myf and Zan are back and there is plenty to catch up on. Most importantly, the annual Westminster Dog Show, the pranciest event of the year. Sage has won, and rightly so. Speaking of winners, Grace Tame has proven once again she's unstoppable; winning a 60km ultramarathon and capturing the experience of the run so poetically.

ChatGPT have released new chatbots, one of which sounds frighteningly similar to Scarlett Johansson. So we're watching HER again, and finding out the full story. And a Kansas City Chiefs NRL player has given the commencement speech at his old Catholic College and oh boy, their YouTube account has never had so many clicks.

We have an update on the Ladies Lounge at MONA that you're gonna love, and some news on Pigeoneers. What are pigeoneers? Good question, we'll explain. And it's a big week of brilliant cinema as Myf watches our stories on screen and Zan heads to a French farmhouse for some epic gastronomy.
