Loneliness Influencers, Philosophy, and Why Wedding Rings May Be Obsolete

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the rise of "loneliness influencers" and explored why some people are suddenly boasting about having no friends.

Today's unpopular opinion was: wedding and engagement rings are an out-of-date concept. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something that every wedding ceremony should have.

Grey Gamers, The "Woke" Debate, and the Things Politicians Lie About

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at the growing yet often overlooked market of older gamers and asked why so few companies are creating games specifically for retirees. Today’s unpopular opinion was: the word "woke" is a meaningless political dog whistle and has become more of a political label than a useful description. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 people: "Name something politicians lie about." The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.
