There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on The I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Brought to you by the reinvented 2012 Camry.

It's ready, are you?

Welcome to Stuff You Should Know from HowStuffWorks.com.

Hey and welcome to The Podcast.

I'm Josh Clark.

With me is always Charles W. Chuck Bryant, who's making fun of the weight game.

I've managed to accumulate over the holiday.

I'm not.

You seem like you were pointing that out and so I guessed.

You honestly don't look like you've gained in weight.

Thanks.

Sure.

Neither do you.

Well, I gained some of the Christmas but I've dropped a few cents.

Yeah, I was looking at you and I'm like Chuck's face looks a lot slimmer.
