From Cafe and the Vox Media Podcast Network, welcome to Stay Tuned.

I'm Pete Barara.

On March 31st, we brought Stay Tuned live to New York City's Town Hall Theatre.

Hundreds of Cafe friends and fans gathered with us for a night of learning and laughing.

I spoke with Ben Stiller, the hilarious and brilliant actor, director, producer, and goodwill ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency.

Gary Kasparov, the chess grandmaster and one of the most insightful voices on Russia and Ukraine.

And Alexander Vinman, the retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel and former director of European Affairs at the National Security Council.

This episode features an edited version of our live conversation that covers Vladimir Putin's psychology, the likelihood of nuclear war, and the absolute necessity of humor.

That's coming up, Stay Tuned.

Best gift I've ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like, it was all wrapped up, but it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing shaped like a bike and had a little ribbon on it.

For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling, rama area now, so for that one change me a little.

Joy in every sip with red carp now, back at Starbucks.

Imagine living until you're a hundred. For people born today there's a good chance it could be a reality.

As life expectancy continues to increase we need to change the way we view retirement.

At Phoenix Group we believe we all need to think differently about how we work, learn, save, and live to ensure people enjoy the life they want when they stop working.

Let's reshape retirement together, visit thefenixgroup.com forward slash let's get ready.

Phoenix Group is the brand name for Phoenix Group Holdings PLC and its subsidiary company St. Brands.

Ben Stiller is someone I have admired and enjoyed for so long he brings me and hopefully all of you so much joy in his work which is not a small thing.

He is a brilliant actor, writer, producer, and director. He has a new show out which is really good on Apple Plus.

It's called Apple Plus called Severance. His films have overall generated I think billions of dollars in ticket sales.

He knows how to make people laugh but he also is a humanitarian.
