About this episode
Didi and Lital recap a rough week: Bruins blowing a 5–1 lead amid a streak of penalties, a youth hockey concussion, ruptured discs, and watching a Patriots Super Bowl collapse from the ER on Ativan with high blood pressure. They touch on Olympics matchups, fights between Finns and Swedes, Lindsey Vonn’s crash and photos, and joke about curling and luge, including an Israeli bobsled story and a Netflix “Losers” curling episode. The main discussion critiques viral AI doom, using skiing levels to frame AI’s progress, urging paid daily use and new supervision styles, highlighting slide-deck creation, marketing ideation, and medical-record analysis limits versus PT nuance, and debating workforce disruption, adaptation, and societal consequences.
