The ProBoh Show

Female Power in Bonobos, Spain’s Friendliest Region, and Office Desk Essentials

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at what bonobos can teach us about female power and cooperation, and how their social structure challenges many assumptions about leadership, conflict, and gender dynamics in both the animal kingdom and human society. Then we talked about a Spanish region being ranked among the most welcoming places in the world in 2026, and what makes a place feel truly welcoming to visitors and locals alike. Today’s unpopular opinion was that hotdesking is actually better than having assigned desks at work. We discussed flexibility, collaboration, office politics, and why some people love the freedom while others absolutely hate it. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something you might see on someone’s desk at work. The answers ranged from the obvious office essentials to some surprisingly personal desk items. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

Stem Cell Breakthroughs & Friends With Exes a Green Flag?

In the first part of today's show, we looked at a breakthrough stem cell surgery that improves mobility and eliminates pain caused by osteoarthritis, giving hope to millions of people dealing with chronic joint pain. Then we talked about Japan approving the world’s first stem-cell treatment for Parkinson’s, a potentially revolutionary step in treating one of the most challenging neurological diseases. Today's unpopular opinion was “Being friends with an ex is a green flag.” Is it emotional maturity… or a potential red flag in disguise? In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: “Name a green flag on a first date.” From good communication to kindness toward strangers, we explored what people actually consider signs of a healthy relationship from the start.

Remote Work, Birth Rates & The Truth About Online Friendships

In the first part of today's show, we looked at whether working from home could help solve the global fertility crisis. With birth rates falling in many countries, we discussed whether flexible work, less commuting, and more time at home could actually make it easier for people to start families. Today's unpopular opinion was that online friendships are just as valid as “real-life” friendships. We explored how relationships formed through gaming, communities, and social platforms can be just as meaningful, supportive, and long-lasting as those formed face-to-face. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name an activity that online friends do together. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

The Kindest People Are the Loneliest & The Paradox of Choice

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at a psychology insight suggesting that the loneliest people in life aren’t the ones nobody likes — but often the kind, helpful people everyone appreciates yet rarely checks on because they seem so self-sufficient. Today’s unpopular opinion was that freedom of choice can create more anxiety than happiness. When options multiply, so does pressure, doubt, and second-guessing. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something that overwhelms people with choice. The ProBoh Show is a variety show in English, hosted by Rob Grams.

Left-Handed Advantage & Is It Better to Be Liked Than Respected?

In the first part of today's show, we looked at a study suggesting that left-handers may actually be more competitive than right-handers, and what that could mean for sports, work, and everyday competition. Today's unpopular opinion was: Being liked is usually more useful than being respected. We discussed whether popularity and social warmth actually get people further in life than authority and fear. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: What are the traits of a bad boss? From micromanaging to poor communication, the answers reveal what people really hate about bad leadership.
