10. Thinking out loud about suing Google, Surfing mini-vans and pool ownership

Happy birthday to Just Glen! This week we're celebrating Glen's 56th birthday with one of the most wide-ranging episodes yet. It starts with a phone call from a law firm asking if Glen wants to be the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against Google — and the very tempting, very brief fantasy of seeing his name in the headlines. Then we cover the ongoing chaos of Trump and Iran, celebrate the miracle of Essendon finally winning a game of football, and question whether Cameron Green should still be in the Australian cricket team.We head back to the 80s for Goon of Fortune, drinking games at Jason's house, and the legendary night Glen surfed on the roof of a minivan down Nepean Highway to get to Food Plus. Then we talk about how easy kids have it today — Blockbuster, landline gatekeepers, and the complete absence of anything resembling convenience.In What I'm Watching, the Summer House Amanda and West saga continues to spiral, and Glen delivers his verdict on MAFS Australia — spoiler: he's Team Danny, and he's not apologising for it.The Deep Dive covers the great Australian dream of owning a pool (42 solar panels, two batteries, and a wife who won't swim in anything under 29 degrees), and we close out with the Razor Blade Wars — the petty domestic battle that is very real in the Murdoch household.Timestamps•[00:00] Welcome & Glen turns 56 — the birthday pod begins•[01:38] The Google lawsuit — should Glen sue the company keeping his business alive?•[04:13] Trump & Iran — still nobody knows what's happening, plus the Sayona lithium share play•[07:09] Essendon finally win! 323 days, 17 straight losses — the curse is broken•[09:42] Cameron Green, the IPL, and whether he should still be in the Australian team•[10:53] Growing up in the 80s — Goon of Fortune and drinking games at Jason's house•[15:02] Surfing on the roof of a minivan down Nepean Highway to Food Plus•[17:26] Kids have it too easy — calling a girlfriend's landline and surviving the gatekeeper•[19:31] Blockbuster — trying to explain to Lara what it meant to "rent" a movie•[22:57] Manus AI — the discovery that makes ChatGPT look like it has an IQ of six•[24:07] The philosophical question: if the world reset tomorrow, what could you actually rebuild?•[25:56] Singapore Airport — autonomous wheelchairs and the crazy world we live in•[26:54] Summer House — Amanda and West, Ciara's revenge dress, and the In The City spinoff•[28:36] MAFS Australia — Team Danny, not Team Bec, and why David's mic drop was perfect•[31:29] The Deep Dive: The Reality of Owning a Pool in Melbourne•[36:35] The Razor Blade Wars — men vs. women and the unspoken rules of domestic life•[38:44] The Takeaway & sign offQuotes from This Episode"Glen Murdoch from the Life Coaching College sues Google.
