How does your technology work? Do you have a deep understanding of the tech, or is it effectively a "black box"?  And does this even matter? We do a deep dive into the history of the black box, how it's understood when it comes to science and technology, and what that means for AI-assisted science.

Follow along with us as we continue to watch this year's FIBA journey!

Also, we discuss the poignant comments made by Team USA Olympic Track star, Noah Lyles who stated that the NBA Champs calling themselves "World Champs" was essentially a sham.  Do we agree or disagree with his comments??? Check out the pod to find out!

Brace yourselves for a wild ride into the fascinating and sometimes spine-chilling world of predatory flora and fungi. We're about to uncover some of nature's most captivating secrets, so prepare for the unexpected! 

In our 45th episode, we're explorations of the strange, the deadly, and the simply mind-blowing abilities of our natural world's plants and fungi.  Prepare to be enthralled by the Zombie Ant Fungus and the Oyster Mushroom, two more parasitic plants that can quite literally turn their hosts into mindless zombies! Lastly, as we delve into the world of strangler fig trees and fig wasps, we're posing a macabre question for you: if a plant had to kill you, which one would you choose? So buckle up, and get ready for this hair-raising journey through nature's oddity shop!

Here’s the rundown from this morning:

• The global stock market is looking mixed, with the leading piece of financial news dealing with inflation data in the Chinese market.
• On the crypto side of things, there are no massive price movements in key tokens to examine. That said, the NFT market has been turbulent in the last few days due to incentive changes as a key marketplace.
• An FYI: We are back in earnings season, but there’s little to report on the tech side of things this week. Expect the pace to pick up next week.
• Ant has a new valuation thanks to a choice to offer share buybacks to existing backers. It’s still worth nearly $80 billion, just a lot less than it might have been valued at back in its 2020 IPO that got scuttled.
• People like Threads: The new social service from Meta has reached the 100 million sign-up mark rapidly. More on threads here on the TC Podcast.
• In Startup-Land: FrontRow is shutting down in another blow to Indian edtech, while Propel raised $2.7 million to connect African tech talent to global employers.

And that is our show! We are back Wednesday, and Friday this week!

Summer has officially arrived and Garry had a hack we all can get on board with (involving oats.) Chelsea was in a heated rivalry with her neighbour and brought us yet another exciting week of Whatsapp Group Chat. 

Dad's were the focus of the week with their weird and wonderful ways and of course Dad jokes! Chelsea had another disastrous date story but found a new platform for singletons that could spark new love interests! 

A.I. has stirred up a frenzy but Garry and Chelsea were on board with the idea, and a Harry Styles quiz took a rogue turn when trying to guess the guest at his Love on Tour. From TikTok comebacks to Ant hacks feast on it all in this week's episode of the Breakfast Buffet Podcast with Garry and Chelsea.

Want more to feast on? Head to our socials @kmfmofficial on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok for more behind-the-scenes bloopers. Or even better, catch us live on the radio, DAB, FM, Smart Speaker or on kmfm.co.uk , Monday - Friday, 6am - 10 am, on kmfm.

Donnie Rightside goes solo for another Tuesday edition of Moneyline. First - a single reddit post caused mayhem on the sportsbooks today, where a user said Will Levis had been told he would be the number 1 overall pick. Odds shifted from +4000 to +400 in just a few hours, what does Donnie think? Then, DeAndre Hopkins trade buzz continues, with many thinking he could be moved before the draft. Where could the vet wind up? After, last night's NBA recapped. Jimmy Butler goes nuclear to take down the Bucks with Giannis and a 3-1 series lead, what does the future hold for both teams? Then - Lakers vs Grizzlies, LeBron shows up in the clutch to take down the Grizzlies and grab a 3-1 series lead. Then - a preview of the triple header in the NBA tonight. He wraps it up with MLB picks and best bets. Your calls, his picks and takes, and more!
