  He cloned himself. Now he wants the organs

  Aug 15, 20261h 46m

  Bryan Johnson already took blood from his own teenage son. Now the anti-aging mogul says he’s cloned himself as a newborn to grow spare organs. His words, not mine. Before you picture a tiny Bryan in a crib, breathe. What’s actually in that petri dish is a long way from a baby. Plus, Flock license plate cameras are in your neighborhood, while the company’s own CEO reportedly dodges the tech. (Read that twice.) I got an HOA letter about someone destroying them.  404 Media’s Matthew Gault on data centers and whether they’re quietly padding your electric bill. And a listener built himself an AI wife. A bad one based on movie villains. First man in history to engineer more nagging into his life. On purpose.  Free college cash, a drone that got someone’s insurance canceled and the honest answer to “Is my phone listening?”  EPISODE BREAKDOWN: 0:00 A guy moved into a house. On a billboard. Over a highway. 4:44 Flock cameras: Why the CEO dodges his own tech. 11:32 Prenups add an AI cheating clause. Seriously. 13:49 A relative threatened her life. How she locked down her internet. 19:07 Bryan Johnson cloned himself as a newborn (spoiler: It’s not a baby). 17:56 Your phone and your license plate are now a matched set. 26:56 AI found this family free college cash. 36:00 The end of gravity? The hoax that fooled millions. 40:00 A drone flew over your roof. Your insurance got canceled. 45:39 The fake carbon monoxide alarm knocking on your door. 54:06 He built an AI wife based on movie villains. It went how you’d think. 58:32 A dress rehearsal for the meeting you’re dreading. 1:00:39 Is the data center down the road on your electric bill? 1:09:21 Hackers steal intimate photos to blackmail people. 1:10:36 A radio station announced King Charles was dead. He’s fine. 1:16:14 The FAA is recruiting gamers as air traffic controllers. 1:18:33 Robots are flipping burgers. Nobody calls in sick. 1:20:53 Save your family photos before the next wildfire. 1:26:29 Is your phone always listening? The honest answer. 1:33:13 From EMT to casino manager to AI side hustle. Love the show? Tap follow, so you never miss an episode, and leave a 5-star review. It takes 10 seconds, and it’s how new listeners find us. I read every single one. If Bryan’s clone ever asks to borrow the car, hand over the keys. Kid’s got his eyes. And his liver.
