A new $99 wearable AI device called "Friend," created by Avi Schiffman, is designed to act as a non-judgmental listener and companion. The product, which resembles a Tamagotchi or an "amulet," is discussed in the context of rising loneliness among "Zoomers" who reportedly have fewer offline friends. The hosts suggest a "No Agenda" version of the device that offers blunt, "real friend" advice.

Parents at Exeter High School in New Hampshire expressed outrage after unvaccinated students had numbers written on their hands for contact tracing during the senior prom. The school defended the "branding" as a way to allow a near-normal experience. This led to a satirical suggestion for a "Kovogatchi"—a contact-tracing device modeled after the 1980s Tamagotchi toy.
