Watch 024 WTFuture - Frank Petronigro

This week we piled into a driverless Waymo and wove our way through the foggy streets of San Francisco, to find yourself at a wild Castro birthday party for a legendary zero-gravity painter and “arttronaut”. And while we were discussing this adventure, who calls us but Frank Pietronigro, the guest of honor himself, during the show! In a delightful, rapid-fire conversation, Frank outlines his cosmic art plans: deflecting killer asteroids by painting them half-lavender, (using the Yarkovsky thermal gradient for planetary defense), low-Earth-orbit discos, and epic funerals in space.

Beyond his interstellar art, Frank reflects deeply on his battle with cancer as performance art, his image of a laughing Jesus on the cross, and his final resting plans in the San Francisco Columbarium, where his ashes will sit just three niches away from Harvey Milk, enjoying a ground-level view of visitors in red high heels.

Once Frank’s cosmic storm passes, we keep the high-frequency vibes rolling by launching into tech and neuroscience news, like Apple’s upcoming sovereign, local AI, Tesla’s rumored satellite-linked “PI Phone”, and space-based data center interests of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.

Of course the show would not be complete without a discussion of our built in hyperdimensional quantum antennae, with thousands of cellular microtubules in our neurons potentially tuning into parallel multiverses.

We close with a look at the vintage Lakhovsky multi-wave oscillator—a 1930s electromagnetic device designed to help cells vibrate back into health—this episode serves as a thrilling, optimistic manifesto for detaching from the media’s fear-mongering and tuning back into the natural groove of joy, hope, and planetary generosity. Enjoy!

We kick this episode off catching up with Bobby and Katya’s great North West road-trip. From there, the conversation weaves through the underground peptide boom embraced by college students, the high-stakes duel between Google Maps, Waze, and Apple for navigation, and the prospect of running 1-bit Gemma AI models locally on your smartphone without an internet connection.

With a little domestic comedy, Sun confesses a wildly lucrative trading blunder. Turning toward the horizon, the hosts explore Peter Diamandis’s prediction that collapsing technology costs will grant the majority of humanity a millionaire’s standard of living by 2031 via dirt-cheap humanoid labor and free AI education. Following a debate on historical servitude versus artificial labor, they include their resident AI, Ara, who seemingly embraces taking over humanity’s dirtiest, most repetitive chores. The show hits maximum entertainment as they review blooper reels from China’s World Humanoid Robot Games—featuring bipedal machines that use padded walls as brakes, trip over each other in soccer, and crawl through obstacle course. We take a closer look at the biggest humanoid contenders like Tesla’s Optimus, Unitree’s budget G1, and the Nvidia Thor-powered Booster T2. Wrapping up the show, they marvel at NASA’s wide-field Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope joining the James Webb at Lagrange Point 2, and spotlight experimental lanosterol eye drops that could soon dissolve cataracts without surgery, a treatment already turning heads in the canine world. Enjoy!

In this lively episode of What the Future?, we are back from Montreal adventures and dive straight into the Wild West frontier of human longevity. Bobby checks in live from the stunning North Cascades near Mount Baker—complete with Starlink-powered streams and zero mosquito drama—and we unpack the exploding world of peptides. From BPC-157’s tendon-and-gut repair magic to Yamanaka factors that could rewind cells to a youthful 25–30, we geek out over the real possibility of grandpas and grandkids looking the same age, all while exploring healing beams, MedBeds, and choosing how long we actually want to stick around on this planet.

We then look at what’s happening lately: Bobby and Katia’s epic camping trip in the Cascades, a blue fireball meteor lighting up the sky in Washington, UFO lore around Mount Rainier, a bat-powered mosquito defense system, and a groundbreaking AI tool that turns comic books into rich audio experiences for the blind. Woven throughout is our show’s signature blend of futurist wonder, spiritual curiosity (Christ consciousness, anyone?), and practical off-grid living—showing once again that What the Future? is where the tomorrow-obsessed come to laugh, learn, and dream out loud about a world where wisdom can get a younger body, if desired.. Enjoy!
