Summary

Michael Kosta dives into the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, including Trump’s inflammatory response, bizarre takes in the media, and a predictable partisan blame game, and reflects on what we can learn from violent tragedies on the anniversary of 9/11. Why are governments around the world so concerned with bovine blasts? Grace Kuhlenschmidt dives into the science of livestock emissions by speaking with Washington state Rep. Lisa Parshley, who is hoping to start a tax on cow farts, farmer Jake Yancey, who doesn’t give a fart, and the OG experts on burps: children. Actor Rainn Wilson sits down with Michael to discuss his new movie, “Code 3.” They talk about how the film is based on very real experiences in the field, why many paramedics deal with burnout, his podcast “Soul Boom,” based on his book about the need for a spiritual revolution, their shared love for tennis, and how he feels about his beloved character from “The Office.” Learn more about your ad choices.
