When Tech Turns Dark & What Makes Someone Attractive?
In the first part of today's show, we explored how the tech world turned evil, breaking down the shift from innovation to influence and the growing concerns around power, control, and ethics in modern technology. Today's unpopular opinion was: in a relationship, attraction matters just as much as communication. Is chemistry equally important as emotional connection? We unpacked both sides. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: what word would you use to describe a very attractive person? The answers ranged from sweet to savage.

Apes Smarter Than We Thought, Imagination Explained & Why Confidence Might Be Fake
In the first part of today’s show, we looked at how bonobos enjoy pretend tea parties while chimpanzees demonstrate surprisingly rational thinking — raising new questions about just how similar apes are to humans. Then we talked about a new theory on how imagination really works in the brain, and why it might completely change what we thought we knew. Today’s unpopular opinion was: confidence is often just the absence of self-awareness. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something that requires a lot of confidence.

Silicon Valley’s Spiritual Shift & The Truth About Who You Are
In the first part of today's show, we looked at why Silicon Valley is increasingly turning to the Catholic Church, and what that says about the intersection of technology, meaning, and modern culture. Today's unpopular opinion was that who you are is largely just a story you tell yourself, and we explored how much of identity is constructed versus fixed. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something that shapes a person's identity. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

Is the Customer Always Right? & The Economist Changing His Mind on AI
In the first part of today's show, we looked at why an economist who once feared AI has finally found a rare reason for optimism—and what that might mean for the future of technology, jobs, and society. Today's unpopular opinion was: the customer is always right. Is it a timeless truth or an outdated mantra? We unpacked the chaos behind that phrase. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name a reason you might ask to speak to the manager. The answers ranged from completely reasonable… to wildly unnecessary.

Music in Your Brain, AI You Can’t Detect & The Wealth Tax Debate
In the first part of today’s show, we explored how music lives not just in our ears, but throughout our entire bodies—unpacking the science behind rhythm, emotion, and the deep connection between sound and the human brain. Then we turned to a fascinating (and slightly unsettling) study showing that most people can’t actually tell when a personal message they receive has been written by AI. Today’s unpopular opinion: we should implement a wealth tax—and yes, we got into it. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name a way you can SEE that someone is rich. The answers were revealing, surprising, and sometimes a little too real. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

The Hidden Cost of TikTok Addiction & A Hot Take on Online Dating
In the first part of today’s show, we explored new research suggesting that short-form video addiction may be linked to lower life satisfaction, with loneliness and anxiety playing a key role. Today’s unpopular opinion was that online dating might not be the best foundation for a meaningful relationship—and we unpacked why that idea resonates with more people than you might think. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something you need to include on a dating profile. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

EU Population Collapse & The “No Babies on Holiday” Debate
In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the looming demographic shift across Europe, as the EU population is projected to fall by 12% by 2100 — and which countries are set to be hit the hardest. Today’s unpopular opinion was that taking your infant child on holiday is pointless — sparking a lively debate on memory, stress, and who the trip is really for. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name a place where babies should be banned. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

Baldness in Spain, Ocean Trash Ecosystems, and Why the Beach Sucks
In the first part of today’s show, we looked at why Spain might be the most bald country in the world—and what’s really behind the statistics. Then we talked about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which has unexpectedly become home to dozens of thriving species. Today’s unpopular opinion was that spending time at the beach actually kind of sucks. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Tell me something at a beach that begins with “S.” The answers may (or may not) restore your faith in humanity.

Why We’re Ignoring New Music & The Truth About LinkedIn Profiles
In the first part of today’s show, we looked at why, despite having unprecedented access to new music through streaming platforms, fewer people seem to be discovering and listening to it. Today’s unpopular opinion was that LinkedIn might just be the worst social media platform out there — and we didn’t hold back on why. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something people exaggerate on their LinkedIn profile. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

Brain Ageing Reversed & The Case for Public Displays of Affection
In the first part of today’s show, we looked at a surprising scientific breakthrough: scientists have reportedly found a way to reverse brain ageing using a simple nasal spray, raising big questions about memory, longevity, and what the future of cognitive health might look like. Today’s unpopular opinion was that public displays of affection are, in fact, romantic, not awkward, not excessive, but a genuine expression of connection in everyday life. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name a place where you’ll see couples kissing. The answers were as varied as you’d expect, from the obvious to the oddly specific.

Are Your Hobbies Being Stolen? & The Hidden Competition in Everyday Life
In the first part of today's show, we looked at how to protect your hobbies in a culture that constantly tries to turn passion into productivity — and what it really means to keep something just for yourself.

Is There a Formula for a Perfect Day? And Are We Too Sensitive?
In the first part of today’s show, we looked at what really makes a good day, from socialising and work to exercise, and whether there’s actually a “formula” for making each day better. Today’s unpopular opinion was that people are overly sensitive nowadays… and yes, it sparked some thoughts. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something people are too sensitive about. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

The Blue Light Myth & The Truth About Your Life Goals
In the first part of today's show, we looked at whether the blue light from your phone is really ruining your sleep — and what the science actually says about it. Today's unpopular opinion was that most life goals aren’t truly ours, but socially inherited — shaped more by culture, family, and expectation than we’d like to admit. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name a nonphysical thing you inherit from your parents. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

Students Letting AI Do Their Thinking & No Actor Is Irreplaceable
In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the growing concern that college students may be losing their ability to participate in class discussions as they increasingly offload their thinking to AI. Today’s unpopular opinion was a spicy one: any actor can be replaced in any role, no exceptions. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name an actor that was absolutely perfect for their role. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

The Silent Vocabulary Crisis & Who You Should Never Argue With
In the first part of today’s show, we looked at a study suggesting people are losing around 338 spoken words every year, and that this trend has been continuing for at least 15 years. Today’s unpopular opinion was that being liked matters more than being right. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name a person you shouldn’t argue with.

Free Will, Social Withdrawal, and Why We All Depend on Someone
In the first part of today’s show, we explored a fascinating question at the heart of human existence: are we ever truly free to make decisions? A new study suggests there may be a universal process in the brain shaping how we choose. Then we turned to the growing phenomenon of hikikomori, asking whether psychological resilience can help prevent extreme social withdrawal. Today’s unpopular opinion was simple but provocative: independence is overrated. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name a situation where dependence is normal.

Do We Really Control How Long We Live? & The Truth About “Bad Taste”
In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the idea that we may have less control over how long we live than previously thought, and what that means for how we think about health, lifestyle, and longevity. Today’s unpopular opinion was that there is no such thing as bad taste, only different perspectives (and maybe a bit of judgment). In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something someone might have bad taste in. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

In the first part of today's show, we looked at the landmark court decision where Meta and Google just lost a major social media addiction case—what it means, why it matters, and how it could reshape the future of tech. Today's unpopular opinion was that it's better to shower in the evening than in the morning… and yes, things got surprisingly heated. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name items in the bathroom that can run out—and some of the answers might stress you out more than you'd expect.
