Well, it happened again. The clocks have changed and we all just have to deal with it. Except those of us who die as a result, which is apparently a lot.

In the past, we listened to cassette tapes, our phones didn't have screens, and we rode in the back of station wagons with no seatbelts. We were basically animals. Fast forward to today and all our jobs are being taken by the machines we invented to make life easier. Don't worry though, the bad times will end as soon as we invent warp drive and meet the Vulcans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gas is bad. It pollutes the environment when you extract it, and it pollutes the environment when you burn it. Batteries are also bad. They pollute the environment when you extract the cobalt, and it pollutes the environment when you replace the battery. The solution? Bicycles. Just make sure to live in an area where it never rains, snows, or gets too hot. Or too cold. Or you ever have to carry anything. Maybe just stop leaving the house entirely.

If you ever feel like driving ten minutes to pick up dinner is a chore, just consider what it would be like to bike 7,000 miles. It's not as easy. It's especially not easy when you have stage 4 prostate cancer like Scott does. Or is it? It gives him the motivation to work toward a cure, the same way that being a little hungry gives you the motivation to forgo Door Dash and go get your own food. It's basically the same thing, right?

Charity is good, right? Assuming the CEO of said charity doesn't end up pocketing all the money. That's not what we're talking about today. Today we're talking about the method by which a charity acquires money. In this case, toe sucking. How do you raise money by sucking toes? We're not sure, but we know it's possible. The same way that getting engaged in public is possible. Is it a good idea? No. But you can do it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

You may have noticed that there are a lot of streaming services. There are only two ways forward at this point. Either every TV show ever made will have its own $20 a month streaming service, or they'll all buy each other and become a dystopian megacorporation that owns everything. That's why we recommend investing in VHS. They're cheap, there's virtually zero demand, and they're so crappy you might decide to go do something productive instead. Everybody wins.

Cab drivers and politicians have a lot in common. Their prices have gone up significantly over the past few decades. You rarely hear about them unless they do something bad.

Do you know what an ampere is? Then you already know more than 90% of people who think outlawing internal combustion is a good idea. Letting something happen naturally generally works better than forcing it at gunpoint. This is also true of comedy. And podcasts. You may take our lives, but you'll never take our microphones.
