Chris recaps a wine-soaked trip to Paso Robles that somehow ends in an Irish pub with a German World Cup grudge match over a bar tab. Then it's straight into the tech and AI rabbit hole: Fable's rocky relaunch, the ever-shifting Claude model lineup, foldable iPhone rumors and their eye-watering price tags, Apple Intelligence teaming up with Gemini, and a love letter to a surprisingly capable local AI model. They wrap with hot takes on the new Supergirl movie, gaming's female-character controversies, and the slow death of physical game and movie ownership.
