On this week's episode Joseph, Jason, Emanuel and Sam first talk about something that sounds like a Harry Styles story, but it's actually an artificial intelligence one. We also play a few rounds of “Is That Audio Snippet an AI Generated Version of Harry Styles or Is It a Real Section of a Leaked Harry Styles Song?”

After the break, Joseph runs us through a massive secret he revealed: the so-called “third country” that intercepted tens of millions of encrypted messages on behalf of the FBI.

• The Specter of AI-Generated 'Leaked Songs' Is Tearing the Harry Styles Fandom Apart
• Revealed: The Country that Secretly Wiretapped the World for the FBI
