It also humorously explores the trend of Nick Castellanos hitting home runs during significant world events and the Bader-Meinhof phenomenon. Additionally, it dives into the transformation of an electrical power plant into the world's largest restaurant in the Olympic Village, discussing catering challenges and athlete dining preferences at the Olympics.

Episode 371: Neal and Toby discuss how potential Democratic nominee Kamala Harris views the economy and what her policies are. Then, a study on Universal Basic Income backed by Sam Altman wraps up and reveals having some extra cash can really help. Who would’ve thunk it!? Next, Delta is having a hard time recovering from the major IT outage that caused it to cancel hundreds of flights over the weekend. Plus, the FCC is cracking down on phone calls from prisons which have gotten too expensive for inmates. Meanwhile, Toby looks at the uncanny trend of Phillies Outfielder Nick Castellanos hitting a home run every time there’s a major news event.
