Summary
We are entrapped by an algorithm preying on our most terrifying human vulnerabilities. But inside us exists a cabinet of curiosities, and few are better at finding poetry in our past than Nate DiMeo of The Memory Palace, an award-winning podcast and new book. Pablo's kindred spirit conjures a time before Jason Giambi and the golden thong, when the least qualified Major Leaguer of all time was also, somehow, the luckiest. Plus: a new video about pigeons; swimming “lesser channels”; and, yes, raccoons failing to eat cotton candy.

| 1:17.2 | myself with why I'm actually passionately, genuinely into this shit. It's exactly right. |
| 1:24.2 | That's the mission for everything. And I say that to you, Nate DeMaio, |
| 1:28.0 | because this is also something that I think we are a bit of a kindred pair of spirits about. |
