Today’s episode goes completely off the rails as we talk about AI starting to act on its own, why that’s both incredibly cool and slightly terrifying, and the critically important question nobody asked: could one million chickens actually defeat 1,000 T-Rexes?

Then we get into the real dating and relationships conversation, rejection, vulnerability, and why there’s absolutely nothing embarrassing about admitting somebody didn’t want you. More importantly, what happens when someone completely outside the situation tries to control the narrative and somehow invents a position where they’re offended by somebody else’s rejection story?

AI taking over, dinosaur warfare, rejection and manufactured outrage, lads, what kind of ridiculous fucking world are we living in?

This week we’re diving into Schumacher 94, the Netflix documentary looking back at Michael Schumacher’s extraordinary first Formula 1 World Championship with Benetton. We get into the Senna comparisons, Pat Symonds’ point about early-season momentum, the traction-control controversy, Willy Weber’s role in Schumacher’s rise, and the brutal reality of Imola after the deaths of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger.

We also revisit the Silverstone controversy with Damon Hill and the dramatic Adelaide finale that decided the title. It’s a fascinating look at one of the most intense seasons in F1 history, a year of brilliance, tragedy, controversy and the moment Schumacher truly announced himself to the sports world.

This week on Movie of the Week, we’ve got three completely different films: I Am Legend, I, Robot, and The Fugitive. From Will Smith facing isolation, AI and the end of the world, to Harrison Ford being hunted across Chicago in one of the great ’90s thrillers, there’s a lot to get into here.

We’ll talk about why I Am Legend is really a movie about loneliness, why I, Robot feels far more relevant now than it did in 2004, and why The Fugitive still works despite some gloriously dated dialogue. Plus, plenty of behind-the-scenes trivia, Oscars, performances and the little details that made these movies worth revisiting.

Three very different stories, plenty of comedy, tension and nostalgia, and three films that absolutely deserve a spot on your watchlist.

Today I’m joined by Cat for a proper dating and relationships head-to-head, man versus woman, comparing notes on attraction, rejection, communication, commitment and all the ridiculous little things that make modern love so confusing.

We get into the differences in how men and women see the same situations, where each side completely misunderstands the other, and whether dating has actually become harder or we’ve just become worse at talking to each other. It’s funny, honest, occasionally brutal, and very much two sides of the same story.

Max Verstappen finally conquers Singapore at the 10th attempt, but the biggest F1 talking point might be Ferrari once again letting a potential winning strategy slip away with Lewis Hamilton. We break down the Norris–Piastri clash, why the track appeared to fall away late in qualifying, Ferrari’s tyre call, and how Verstappen controlled the race under the Marina Bay lights.

Meanwhile, Kimi Antonelli quietly grabs another podium and stretches his championship lead to a massive 102 points, putting himself within touching distance of the Formula 1 world title heading to Austin. With Red Bull suddenly winning back-to-back races and Ferrari still struggling to convert opportunities, the final stretch of the sports season is getting very interesting.

This week on Movie of the Week, we’re diving into Broken Arrow, a gloriously over-the-top 1996 action movie that absolutely lives and dies on one thing: John Travolta having the time of his life as the villain. Christian Slater brings the old-school ’90s charm, John Woo throws in trains, helicopters, nuclear weapons and enough explosions to flatten a small country, while Hans Zimmer gives the whole thing a fantastic Western-style edge.

We also get into the behind-the-scenes trivia, the huge amount of stunt work, the intense physical preparation and why Travolta’s funny, cool and completely unhinged performance lifts the entire film. It’s not one of the greatest movies ever made, and some of it is pure action-movie nonsense, but as big, ridiculous popcorn comedy and entertainment goes, it’s very hard to switch off.

The F1 championship heads under the lights in Singapore, with Kimi Antonelli sitting on a huge 84-point lead — but Mercedes now have a major decision to make over an upgrade package that appeared to punish their tyres in Malaysia. We also look at Fernando Alonso and Aston Martin finally finding something positive, plus Alex Albon’s fascinating insight into the far less glamorous side of life as a Formula 1 driver: constant travel, training, hotel rooms and living out of a suitcase.

With Verstappen coming off a victory, Mercedes facing a crucial one-practice Sprint weekend and Singapore ready to punish the smallest mistake, this could be one of the most revealing sports weekends of the season.

I sit down with Erik Lehr, Chief Investment Officer at Empirical Wealth Management, where the firm manages around $11 billion in client assets. We talk about whether AI is really a bubble, why AI can be brilliant at research but dangerous at decision-making, how beginners should approach investing, diversification, compounding, market crashes, and why managing people’s retirement money carries enormous responsibility. Erik also explains why long-term thinking matters more than trying to predict what markets will do next.
