This week on So What Now?, your favorite duo dive headfirst into the tech takeover… and wrap things up with a dose of relationship drama you won't see coming.
We kick things off with the viral story of two Harvard students who built a braiding robot designed to save time and reduce hand strain. But the big question remains: Is technology helping our culture or hijacking it? The ladies unpack what innovation means when tradition is on the line.
Then, things heat up when Amazon's plan to replace 500,000+ warehouse jobs with robots comes up. Carla's all in on progress ("Let's move forward already!"), while Dex worries about what automation means for working-class communities. Naturally, it turns into one of their classic So What Now? showdowns — equal parts smart debate and sisterly shade.
Next, would you let a human-like robot move in? For just a $200 deposit, Neo the home robot could be your new roomie. Carla's ready to swipe her card and put Neo on babysitting duty, while Dex is already plotting her escape route. The back-and-forth is pure comedy gold.
The episode closes with a gut-punch of a listener letter from a woman struggling with her partner. The advice was unanimous and unfiltered: "Girl, break up with him!"
Hit play for laughs, debates, and maybe a few side-eyes at the robots trying to take over our lives — only on So What Now?
