In this episode of Diggnation, Glenn joins us for an unexpected and hilarious reunion. 🍻 We kick things off by opening a bottle of Pliny the Elder and dive into some of the internet’s wildest stories. We reminisce about childhood crushes on animated characters and tackle a modern relationship dilemma involving circumcision.

On the tech side, we geek out over Hyundai’s electric cars, especially the futuristic N Vision 74, and explore the bizarre phenomenon of cocaine sharks. 🦈

Our chat covers the latest in language learning apps, new smartphone trends, and the future of digital assistants like Alexa and AI in cars. We also take a deep look into the intense work culture in Japan and wrap up with a conversation on the dangers of AI deepfakes and how they can manipulate memories. 🤖
