Show Notes

Police ambushed Joel Feder and his wife in a Kohl’s parking lot. Guns drawn. The tipster? Flock cameras. Wrongly tracked him for days over stolen plates he never took. We talk to The Drive journalist one-on-one.

Plus, remember that viral three-finger trick to catch a deepfake? Doesn’t work anymore. AI already caught up. And Lisa went viral for her “Marry Lisa” billboards. Nearly 4,000 submissions later, she found the love of her life. On an app.
