The Nerds' Takeover

Michael Kosta covers Trump not taking the stand during his hush money trial, Rudy Giuliani’s new "tummy friendly” ground coffee company, an Australian billionaire demanding her portrait be removed from a museum, and Ronny Chieng defends Scarlett Johansson against ChatGPT nerds stealing her voice. Plus, meet Kamala Harris’s holistic thought advisor, Dahlia Rose Hibiscus (Desi Lydic), who is deeply committed to helping the Vice President translate words into idea voyages. And Sebastian Junger, author of "In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face-to-Face with the Idea of An Afterlife," joins Michael to discuss surviving an aneurysm and his new lease on life. He catalogs years of near-death experiences from surfing to war reporting, being faced with his dead father and the possibility of an afterlife.
