    PopCon #46: Scarlett Johansson vs. AI
    May 30 2024
    Scarlett Johansson has a voice nerds cannot resist. Sam Altman is no exception, but he may soon regret that he couldn't help himself... ChatGPT just rolled out a new update, and the GPT-4o model 'Sky' has a voice eerily similar to Johansson's. Considering her voice role as the lead AI character in the Spike Jonze film 'Her' it makes sense that she might voice the real version. Only problem is, she didn't give permission. Join Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew as they dissect another instance of nerds overstepping, along with other topics.

    PopCon #45: Cancel Culture Butt-Kicks Butker
    May 23 2024
    Most would consider being the second-most-accurate kicker in NFL history his greatest achievement, but not to Harrison Butker, the star placekicker for the repeat Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs. His most important role, he claims, is husband and father. How is Butker able to aspire to his chief role as a man? Because his wife and the mother of his children lives up to her chief role as a woman. It's this assertion, proclaimed at a Catholic college commencement, that landed the "Butt-Kicker" in hot water with feminists. Join Thomas, Sterling, and Andrew as they examine the facts and delve into some additional topics.
