    Eric kicked off talking about the latest wedding prep and Jon awaits his bees. A fake crypto app stole $9.5 million right off the Apple App Store, plus a review of 2026's nastiest cyberattacks. On the science side, Eric shared the wild discovery of trees secretly sparking with invisible UV light during storms, and Jon wrapped up by theorizing how the JWST found unexpected, thick water-ice clouds on a cold super-Jupiter exoplanet.
