From Cravings to Conspiracies: What Just Happened?

Pregnancy, fast food, politics, and mental health—Rebecca’s growing a human, Keith’s ranting about fries, and somehow it all leads to propaganda, parenting fails, and Norwegian weather complaints.

This episode’s got cultural confusion, unsolicited parenting advice, questionable food takes, and just enough tech paranoia to keep things interesting. From AI in your backyard to why Norway refuses to embrace sitcoms, Keith and Rebecca zigzag through life updates, mental health fallout, and fast food existentialism—without spilling a drink or finishing a point.

More Topics Covered:

- Rebecca drops a pregnancy reveal while breaking down American food cravings

- The fast food debate: why McDonald’s abroad feels gourmet compared to the U.S.

- How AI and robotics are creeping into agriculture and daily life- Cultural confusion over Halloween, Cinco de Mayo, and why Norwegians don’t do sitcoms
