They claim it’s your futuristic chore buddy, but we’re asking the real questions:🧼 Is it really AI?🧠 Or is someone actually controlling this thing, lurking in your living room like a virtual creeper with a remote joystick?We talk:NEO doing dishes like a champ while potentially violating your privacyThe $20K price tag for a glorified Roomba in skinny jeansWhy this robot might be the Black Mirror episode you didn’t ask forAND THEN—🎃 We roll into some real-life Halloween horror:A RING doorbell cam catches the moment someone in costume rolls up to a house and attacks the homeowner. Yep—retaliation, fists flying, and maybe even fake blood on a plastic pumpkin. We break it down.All that and more on The M-Balm Effect, where we talk tech, get weird, and take you through the chaos one ridiculous headline at a time.💀 Like. Subscribe. Hit that bell.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
