THE PHANTOM ROBOT
& THE $24 MILLION CONTRACT
LAST WEEK: we got up close with police robot dogs and military robots that actually exist right now. This week? We follow the money — and the story gets a lot more interesting.
A robot. A contract. A whole lot of questions.
THIS FRIDAY JUNE 26: a robot that made headlines — and a $24 million government contract that went with it. Who got paid? What did they actually deliver? And what does it mean when the people writing the checks can’t see through the smoke and mirrors?
Jo breaks it all down — no hype, no jargon. Just the real story.
Buddy has reviewed the situation. He cannot be fooled by a robot — phantom or otherwise. The food bowl test has never been failed by a machine.
The rest of us might want to pay closer attention.

The Cats' Corner Studio
Where The Magic Comes Together
This is where Gen X and Boomer wisdom meets today's tech.
No jargon allowed. No corporate fluff. No tech-shaming.
The lights shine on the knowledge of now — the right programs, the real tools, the scams we help you dodge. We're not locked to the computer. We talk gear, apps, safety, and the stuff that actually matters in your day-to-day.
When Buddy's not supervising the set, he's out on the streets (well, the couch) gathering intel. What do YOU want us to cover?
