Ever wondered if you're getting the most bang for your buck from your streaming subscriptions? This week's episode might change how you view your entertainment options entirely. We uncover the surprising truth that YouTube has actually dethroned Netflix and Amazon Prime as the world's most-watched streaming platform – and for good reason.

The secret lies in YouTube's democratised content creation ecosystem. With creators now equipped with professional-grade cameras and equipment, the platform delivers stunningly specific content that mainstream services simply can't justify producing. From intricate woodworking tutorials to in-depth cycling content, YouTube serves the passionate niche interests that Netflix never will. We share our own content rotation strategy that could save you hundreds annually while still catching all your favourite shows.

For those planning European adventures, our Paris Metro hack alone is worth the listen. Ditch the overpriced tourist day passes and use the Navigo card through Apple Wallet instead – a simple change that could cut your transit costs by more than half. We also dive into the art of effective AI prompt engineering, revealing how giving your AI a persona and asking thoughtful follow-up questions dramatically improves results. And what's the deal with expiration dates on dental floss? We tackle this peculiar packaging mystery and question whether food expiry dates are genuinely necessary or if we're all capable of determining freshness without printed guidance.

Whether you're a streaming enthusiast, a budget-conscious traveller, or simply curious about the small peculiarities of modern life, this episode delivers practical tips and thoughtful observations to make you "12 and a half minutes more awesome" this week. Subscribe now and join us next week as we explore the gift-giving conundrum: what items are too personal to buy for someone else?

Death, hydration, and notification overload might seem like an unlikely trio, but they weave together perfectly in this episode as we navigate the contradictions of modern life. We kick off with a powerful quote that stops us in our tracks: "The tragedy of modern man is he spends more time optimizing what is on his CV than what is in his eulogy." This springboards us into candid reflections on mortality and preparedness – Ben reveals he's written a eulogy for someone still living (who happens to be a listener and will learn this for the first time), while Richard has meticulously curated his funeral playlist chronologically from childhood discoveries to recent indie tracks.

The conversation pivots to practical wisdom with our essential travel tip: stay hydrated! Whether you're battling the moisture-sapping environment of a long-haul flight or navigating the inevitable alcohol consumption of business trips and vacations, carrying water is non-negotiable. We share listener feedback about ingenious travel hacks, including a packable shirt steamer https://amzn.asia/d/eE7uXwd that banishes wrinkles without ironing – perfect for the business traveler who refuses to check luggage.

What truly gets us fired up is modern communication overload. When did humanity collectively decide we needed fifteen notifications about a single Amazon package? Why does a buttonless medical device require a 128-page manual? And the email etiquette minefield – is it appropriate to text someone alerting them you've sent an email, or should you use those contentious read receipts? We're asking the questions everyone's thinking but few are discussing. Between Ben's insights on diabetes technology advancements and Richard's handwritten-but-digital letters to his daughter, we're exploring how communication has fundamentally transformed. Ready to pause the notification flood and think about what really matters? Give this episode a listen and join the conversation!
