Patrick opens the hour reflecting on family, technology, and the way a simple promise to put down our phones reveals deeper truths about connection. He considers Elon Musk’s warnings about artificial intelligence, questioning not just the coming wave of change but what meaning and purpose look like in a society where work could disappear. Calls pour in, some recounting firsthand experience with isolation and the value of work, others applauding how AI transforms accessibility, while tough conversations around political controversies and race keep the hour urgent, restless, and real.

Magdalena - I used to work in a forensic hospital, and the greatest desire of all of my patients was to work. I think without work, life is boring. (33:23)
Mark - Drawing someone as an ape is not racist, it's just a caricature. (35:32)
