Lauren from San Francisco got a call that would terrify anyone: her dad crying as a man saying he’d be killed. Only… her dad wasn’t on the line.

I talk to Dan from Denver who lost $17,000 to a flight rebooking scam that felt all too real. Plus, a plane that can land itself, tech billionaires’ survival pods, the FBI’s latest email scam warning, and why paper résumés and face-to-face interviews are making a comeback.

Cut the cord? Maybe you didn’t… Amazon, Apple and YouTube sell competitors’ services under one roof. I talk to a drone operator who saved a dog from a coyote. Plus: an $800K gold scam, a Bluetooth hack you need to know, and Amazon’s used car lot.

Bill and his wife thought they were investing in crypto. Instead, they got wiped out. Plus, like to drive fast? New noise cameras can now ticket you just for a loud engine. Also, why Gen Z is ditching cars, Auntie Anne’s takes to the skies, and Silicon Valley’s obsession with “super smart” babies.
