Ever felt like giving five stars just for surviving? Berlin’s Bolt drivers think they’re in Fast & Furious, but that’s only the starting line. From sugar rush myths that crumble into sugar crashes, to drone paranoia and the comedy of emergency alerts, this week’s episode is here.

Nepal experiments with Discord democracy, Albania hires an AI minister, and somewhere in the skies, an interstellar comet makes us wonder if ET’s finally calling.

Add Berlin’s explosive cars, Gaza rallies, whimsical kite festivals, and grocery drones—welcome to dystopian utopia, where the ordinary is anything but. Buckle up, question everything, and don’t expect your driver to slow down."

Robot Olympics Whaaaat? This week my frustrating yet triumphant battle with German healthcare, finally cured by antibiotics after weeks of suffering. Podcast going big and now I get spam invites for people who want to join for an interivew from Bitcoin bros, vitality gurus, and innovative doctors. I loath nostalgically about the pre-smartphone era and explored a startup's modern twist on the old landline for kids. Then Germany oh sweet Germany no wonder IT jobs are declining you need more briefmarken. Meanwhile in China the rise of robotics and the humanoid robot Olympics in Beijing. Amidst my cynicism and humor, I painted a picture of a world where robots handle our chores and reflected on how tech intersects with our lives. Or that's what the robots say.

Recorded under the rare appearance of the summer sun. Ever wondered why some adults in China are resorting to pacifiers? Or why Greek firefighters are treated like disposable heroes? And did anyone catch the absurd Trump-Putin Alaska spectacle? Dive into the latest episode of this unapologetically cynical podcast to get the lowdown on these bizarre realities, plus a rundown of cultural ventures in Berlin and the latest blunders in US climate policy. Think ignorance is bliss? Brace yourself for the truth.

In more detail (thanks AI)

Today’s episode kicks off with the latest Chinese trend: adult-sized pacifiers for stress relief. It’s as absurd as it sounds. Then we turn to Greece, where firefighters fight both fires and governmental neglect, dealing with temporary contracts and no hazard pay, despite battling dangerous blazes. In Berlin, an old fire station transforms into a cultural hub for a two-month Club Commission event, showcasing a range of performances. The surreal hits a new high when Trump gives Putin a Broadway-like reception in Alaska, complete with red carpets and flyovers—yet yielding zero diplomatic results. As if that’s not enough, the Trump administration also aims to kill NASA satellites tracking CO2 levels, essentially blinding us to climate change. To wrap up on a lighter note, the host thanks Polly for an ingenious self-cleaning garlic press, a rare joy amidst the chaos. Join me every week as I navigate through more absurdities and life.
