Israeli scientists developed a DVD-sized disk that can hold 220,000 movies, challenging all current storage methods.

The episode begins with Shachar Shoshan and Ehud Kenan joking about a hypothetical 'Road Podcaster 2' console costing 2,500 shekels. They quickly segue into discussing obsolete physical media, comparing the lifespans of VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray. Ehud recalls that DVDs lasted less than 20 years for many users. The hosts mention Christopher Nolan's interview about releasing Oppenheimer on Blu-ray to maintain cinematic quality at home, contrasting with streaming compromises. They note that Blu-ray still exists for enthusiasts and anime fans. The conversation shifts to AI, with Shachar criticizing video AI tools like Sora for lacking clear purpose. They discuss how AI summarization of research papers can lead to hallucinations, similar to past media inaccuracies, such as a misreported petition against AirPods. Shachar then introduces a scientific breakthrough: Israeli researchers developed a disk similar to a DVD that can store petabytes of data using 100 layers, potentially holding 220,000 films. They explain its advantages over hard disks and SSDs in longevity, though mass production remains energy-intensive. Ehud shares a personal anecdote about building a Pagani Zonda Lego replica bought for 200 shekels, praising its detail and build challenge. Shachar talks about creating a TikTok-style video where he jokes about having a prosthesis, which gained over 400 views as a YouTube Short. They briefly mention the TV show 'The Curse' with Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone, and note that 'Last Week Tonight' now uploads full episodes to YouTube. The episode concludes with reminders about Patreon support and future uploads.
