👀 Seeing double? This reversible cast-iron griddle (13% off) flips from flat to grill in one hot second.

👩‍🍳 Chef’s sidekick: Peek inside this bamboo cutting board ($42). Boom, six color-coded mats pop out like magic.

🔄 Spin me right round: One turntable (6% off) works great for cake decorating or even as a monitor stand.

Can AI pick better stocks than Wall Street?— June 14th, Hour 3

Open/download audio

A finance professor tested AI vs. the pros. AI beat them. Also: an $8K Marketplace flip and how scammers stole $2M in gold with a phone call. And, get this, the FAA still runs on Windows 95 and floppy disks. Yikes.

Apple’s leak problem: Apple can’t catch a break. Its “awe-dropping” event leaks were bad enough, but now the FCC is leaking, too (paywall link). Filings revealed new model numbers for MacBook Pros, iPad Pros and even an updated Vision Pro, likely all rocking fresh M5 chips. The kicker? These leaks didn’t come from insiders. They came from the government.

$7,340/month

To live on cruise ships full-time. A couple in their 50s sold their home in 2022 to explore the world. So far, they’ve been on 29 cruises (paywall link). Budgeting tip from the pros: They book six months in advance for the best prices. Maybe it’s time for you to get ship faced and a little nauti. 🛳️

New chip, same price: In the market for a new laptop or set of VR goggles? Apple dropped new MacBook Pros, iPad Pros and Vision Pros, all running on the turbocharged M5 chip. Basically, they’re four times faster and way smarter, especially with AI stuff, and as expensive as last year, starting at $1,599, $999 and $3,499. You can preorder now, and they start shipping Oct. 22.

Medicare’s not calling: Open enrollment season almost guarantees you’re going to get more scam calls. Real Medicare won’t call unless they’ve mailed you first. If someone wants your SSN over the phone, they’re shopping for gullible folks. These scammers aren’t sloppy either, they’re international pros who can drain tens of thousands before you notice.

Term life, whole life, compromised life: Allianz Life says a hacker tricked its way into a third‑party cloud CRM two weeks ago, compromising the addresses, birth dates and possibly SSNs of the majority of its 1.4 million U.S. customers, plus financial pros and some employees. You know the drill. They’ll send you a letter saying they’re sorry. You better freeze your credit and get ID theft coverage. I use NordProtect.*

⚡️ 3-second tech genius: Swipe in with three fingers on your iPad or iPhone from the side to copy/paste or undo/redo. It’s the gesture shortcut pros (and now you) use.

The iPhone Pros and Watch have bigger screens, and the new AirPods look like a cross between 3rd-gen AirPods and the AirPods Pro.
