The ProBoh Show

Sexless Japan, Simulated Brains, and Faking It Right

In the first part of today's show, we looked at new reports suggesting that Japanese people still aren’t having sex — and the surprising reality that nobody really knows why this trend continues. Then we talked about the groundbreaking news that scientists are gearing up to simulate an entire human brain on a supercomputer.
Today's unpopular opinion was: Fake it till you make it is great advice.
In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: What is a job you hope people aren't “faking it until they make it”?

Are You Dead? AI Apps, Autopsies, and Storage Problems

In the first part of today's show, we looked at the unexpected rise of the “Are You Dead?” app — a tool designed for people living alone that has suddenly surged to number one in China. Then we talked about a new trend in tech research: biologists approaching large language models as if they were performing an alien autopsy, trying to dissect and understand how these systems really work.
Today's unpopular opinion was: Hiring storage units is a symptom of a problem.
In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something people put into storage.

Social Media Bans, Robot Bosses, and Why Kids Bully

In the first part of today's show, we looked at Australia’s new social media ban for teens and how young people themselves feel about it one month after implementation. Then we talked about a provocative economic debate: if CEOs are so expensive, why not automate the role entirely?
Today's unpopular opinion was: “Bullying is an essential part of childhood.”(We explored this idea critically on the show — discussing its risks, impacts, and why some people still argue it builds resilience.)
In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name a reason one child might bully another.

AI Layoffs: Fact, Fiction, or Something Darker?

In the first part of today's show, we looked at a new analysis from Oxford Economics suggesting that many reported AI-related layoffs may be more corporate fiction than fact, potentially masking a much darker reality about company strategy and public messaging.
Today's unpopular opinion was: Romance: Rejection is worse than regret.
In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name somewhere you are likely to be rejected.

Offline Brainrot and Fictitious Friend Groups

In the first part of today's show, we looked at the only news item of the day: a discussion on why there was no second news story and what that means for the format, flow, and expectations of a daily show.
Today's unpopular opinion was: Brainrot content has always existed.
In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name brainrot content that is NOT on the internet.

School Calendars, Storytelling Careers & Kids Using AI

In the first part of today's show, we looked at Spanish parents who are at war with European Schools over Christmas holiday schedules. Then we talked about how storytelling — one of the world’s oldest jobs — has suddenly become one of the hottest new corporate job titles.
Today's unpopular opinion was: AI should be prohibited for under-18s.
In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something a child might use AI for.

AI on Drugs, Infinite Energy, and Bad History

In the first part of today's show, we looked at a bizarre new trend reported by WIRED: people are deliberately trying to get their AI chatbots “high” by simulating drug use in conversations. Then we discussed an eye-opening story from Finland, where researchers claim that the internet itself is now generating enough energy to power entire cities of over 100,000 people.
Today's unpopular opinion was: Historical accuracy in fiction is not important.
In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name the most inaccurate form of media.

Faithfulness, Meetings, and the Future of Dating Apps

In the first part of today's show, we looked at comments from the CEO of Southwest Airlines, who argued that meetings are not real work and backed it up by blocking his calendar every afternoon from Wednesday to Friday. Then we talked about what science says about whether humans are actually meant to be faithful.
Today's unpopular opinion was: Dating apps should have a ratings system for users.
In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something you should put on a dating app profile.
