    Reflecting Pool Fiasco, Meta Pervert Glasses, Mercedes Branding Customers, FDA Food Definition, Dogs Read Faces, AI Medical Students

    Trump admitted his sixteen million dollar Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool renovation was botched, then blamed invisible vandals and an Olympic canoeist. Meta smart glasses earned the nickname pervert glasses after pickup artists used them to secretly film women. Mercedes owners are suing because the metal AMG logo on their seats literally branded them with second-degree burns. The FDA still has not defined ultra-processed foods despite promising a definition by April. Dogs can distinguish fearful, angry, and sad human faces according to new brain scan research. And medical students are using AI to skip learning how to think, creating a never-skilling crisis in healthcare. In this episode of The Daily Roast, Danny and Meg break down six of the week most absurd stories, from government paint jobs gone wrong to luxury cars that injure their owners. CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introduction and Cold Open 1:30 - Topic 1: Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Disaster 8:30 - Topic 2: Meta Pervert Glasses Backlash 14:00 - Topic 3: Mercedes AMG Seat Badge Branding 17:30 - Topic 4: FDA Ultra-Processed Foods Loophole 20:00 - Topic 5: Dogs Can Read Human Emotions 21:30 - Topic 6: AI Medical Students Never-Skilling 23:00 - Wrap-up and Goodbye The common thread across all stories: institutions building systems without thinking about the consequences. From Meta building glasses anyone can use to spy on people, to Mercedes putting hot metal on seats, to the FDA regulating something it has not defined. --- Listen to Hustle Studios Radio 24/7!
