This episode features a clip of Kumail Nanjiani on ABC’s Good Morning America (of all places) talking about his Hulu limited series Welcome to Chippendales. He produced it with his wife and stars in the series. I missed it when it came out late last year, but watched it recently knowing nothing about the history and thought it was fascinating and just a really great series. So I highly recommend checking it out, and the less you know about it beforehand, the better.

This episode features an edited down “41 Lessons from my 41 Years” list presented by Nate B. Jones on TikTok. It was just too long to include the whole thing, but I really don’t disagree with any of his list. This kinda thing easily veers too far into trite, but there can be a lot of truth in well composed bumper stickers, and I think Nate hits them all well.

This episode features a clip from a recent episode of Sam Harris’ podcast Making Sense, where he talks about the incomprehensible waste of collective attention the human race has wasted on about the least important human to ever be born.
