Are we getting too intimate with AI?

A New Name, A New Season

After a much-needed break, I’m back. In this short update, I share why the podcast is changing from Me, Myself & AI to Real Ones & Robots, where I’ve been over the past few months, and what’s ahead for the next season. From work and travel to parenting, creativity, and simply taking the time to recharge, life has been busy. I also talk about the unexpected reason behind the name change and why the new title feels like the right fit for the conversations I want to have moving forward. This has always been a podcast about navigating life in a changing world. The name may be different, but the mission remains the same: honest conversations about technology, housing, business, relationships, culture, and what it means to be human in an era increasingly shaped by AI. Thanks for sticking with me. Welcome to Real Ones & Robots.

Underdogs: The people we need

In this episode of Me, Myself & AI, Casey asks a bold question: Why am I always rooting for the underdog? From the Toronto Raptors proving the world wrong—again—in the 2026 playoffs, to Stephen Curry completely changing how basketball is played, to Zohran Mamdani challenging power through housing and economic reform, to Kanye West forcing his way into an industry that didn’t fully see him—this episode explores what makes underdogs so powerful, so necessary, and so unforgettable. Casey and Jay unpack the systems, the setbacks, the culture shifts, and the uncomfortable truths behind people who weren’t supposed to win… but changed the game anyway.

What Changed with Student Loans in Ontario and Why It Matters

Student funding in Ontario is shifting, and it’s going to affect how much students rely on debt. In this episode of Me, Myself, and AI, Casey B and J break down the key changes from the Ontario government under Doug Ford and the federal government under Mark Carney. At a high level, the federal government is keeping student grants higher for now, while Ontario is moving toward a system where a larger share of funding comes from loans. The result? Students are likely to rely more on repayable funding over time. This episode focuses on what that shift means in real life, especially for students and families who depend on financial aid to access education. Because this isn’t just about policy, it’s about what it takes to move forward, and how long it takes to get there.

Cuba Isn’t in the Headlines, But It Should Be

Cuba isn’t trending.But maybe it should be. While much of the world looks elsewhere, millions of people in Cuba are dealing with real, daily challenges—food shortages, blackouts, and limited access to basic resources. In this episode, Casey unpacks the history behind it all, questions the narratives we’ve been given, and explores what’s actually happening right now—and why more people aren’t talking about it.

The U.S. Said No. Canada Abstained. On Accountability for Slavery.

On March 25, 2025, the United Nations General Assembly voted on a resolution brought forward by Ghana, recognizing slavery and the transatlantic slave trade as “among the gravest crimes in the history of humanity”—and calling for reparatory justice to address its lasting impacts. The result was overwhelming—but not unanimous. 123 countries voted in favour. 3 countries voted against: United States, Israel, and Argentina. And 52 countries chose not to support the resolution, including: Canada, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, Italy, and others across Europe and allied nations. This episode breaks down what that vote actually meant, what countries were really being asked to support, and why some chose to stand back when the conversation shifted from recognition to responsibility. But this conversation isn’t just for the Black diaspora—and it’s not only about our ancestors. It’s also about the present. About systems. About wealth. About what it means to be an ally—not just in words, but in action. Because if slavery is one of the gravest crimes in human history… then neutrality isn’t neutral. And the real question becomes: Who is willing to stand on justice today?
