## Resource

The boys dig into the Dua Lipa vs Samsung lawsuit and whether a celebrity's face on a TV box actually sells anyone a TV (it doesn't). Ned confesses he was lurking silently in a former workplace group chat for months before a visit reminded them he existed, and they promptly removed him. There's also a conversation about AI-generated nostalgia clips tricking everyone into brief patriotism before revealing a toddler eating chicken, and why the Conan O'Brien 2000 Olympics segment is required viewing for any Australian.Find us on Instagram @nedandjosh
