Episode 9: Pardoned Turkeys and Treating the Causes of Issues vs. the Symptoms

Today, we’re talking presidential turkey pardons (Congratulations, Birds), birth order, and who on earth is signing up for Fyre Festival II. We also discuss celebrity tax evasion, failures in New York’s social safety net, kids striking for climate change, tracking what’s going on at OpenAI through Kara Swisher on the Pivot Podcast, the timely docu on Maya Powalski, and BookTok's favorite smut: ACOTAR. (sentimental close) You’ll hear us mention gratitude as we near the Thanksgiving holiday in the US. We’ve absolutely loved getting MTD started, and couldn’t be more grateful for the support and input of our family, friends, and new friends. Wishing everyone a happy holiday and sending you SO much love. @muchtodiscusspodcast Bits: Biden grants turkey justice as Liberty and Bell ride the gravy train to the White House by Betsy Klein for CNN Habit Tracker app Pop Culture: ‘Fyre Festival 2’ kicks off with zero-gravity flights, no catastrophes by Adam Glyn for Page Six Taylor Swift Postponed Eras Tour Concert Following Death of Fan by Ava Gilchrist for Grazia Shakira strikes last-minute deal in Spanish tax fraud case by Anne Branigin for the Washington Post Suki Waterhouse is Pregnant!
