780: Swim-spiration, Tetris Champ, & Steamboat Willy

Sarah is all worked up over a movie she watched that made her want to take on the world and beat her boyfriend in a swimming competition. But it made us wonder what makes one person's persistence in sports inspiring and another person's doggedness seem like an addiction. We are starting to think Chat-GPT might actually be too woke after it tried to avoid explaining a fact about women that was less than flattering. We're celebrating the kid who reached his goal of winning Tetris, and hear how he did it. We discuss the expiration of trademarks and what happens to art that becomes public domain, and we debate whether it's good for art, bad for business, or a mixed bag. There's a new film coming out that Sarah thinks is going to scare the bejeezus out of her, but might not be intended as a horror movie.
