#227 - Skyscraper Nightmare, $100 Million Gift, Penguin With No Brakes

Happy National Clean Out Your Computer Day! We start the episode by reflecting on the trauma of losing digital files and Erin’s current state of being on her "proverbial deathbed" with a mystery illness (shoutout to Pedialyte and Motrin). We recap the recent snowstorm, which featured Dan hitching a ride on a snowmobile to ski down a neighbor’s hill, a MacGyver-style ski boot repair using a leather belt, and the stark contrast between our silent icy roads and the "vibey" snow day parties at the Philadelphia Art Museum.In pop culture and documentaries, we discuss the anxiety-inducing Netflix livestream of a Alex Honnold free climbing the Taipei 101 skyscraper and review the Brian Johnson anti-aging documentary, debating whether living forever is worth eating "veggie mush" every single day. We also dive into the "New England Patriots Catering Menu" TikTok that revealed the insane amount of food available to players, from omelet stations to endless tables of silver warmers.Finally, we cover a massive wave of Olympic news: the "Good Billionaire Boy" Ross Stevens donating $100 million to support Team USA athletes, Lindsey Vonn’s heartbreaking crash just a week before the games, and some mind-blowing stats about the Opening Ceremony in Milan. We also share skeleton racer Mystique Ro’s hilarious description of her sport as a "penguin with no brakes," break down Sha’carri Richardson’s arrest for speeding, and issue a simple demand: Free Darius.
