Why did the market’s fear cycle spike before and after Nvidia’s earnings?
Mm. Our earliest childhood memories can feel so visceral. I have this memory of my mother standing on the beach, you know, the wind whipping her hair and her jacket, calling into the wind, with my siblings out in the lake and the dam, you know, looming in the distance. But none of these memories were true. This week on Explain It to Me from Vox. Why can't I remember being a baby?
Today's number, 75,000 miles. That's the average distance an adult will walk during their lifetime, the equivalent of traveling around the world three times. Ed, I had a cat. I took care of a neighbor's cat for about a week, and it would just look at me as if I had asked it for a ride to the airport.
I'm not sure what that joke means, but I found it sort of existential and strange and wonderful at the same time. It's true, cats do look at you as if you've asked them for a ride to the
You know, I'm just very used to the sex jokes. It really it caught me off guard and maybe that's a good thing. Maybe that's the humor in it. But don't they? They sort of They do, yeah. But but I mean animals don't convey that much facial expression. I forgot you're a dog hater.
But seriously, cats n but there's some nuance here. They look at you as if you asked them to take them to the airport and they're not really good friends. Like Like, wait, you're asking me to take you to the airport? Have you do you take people to the airport? Do you go to the airport to pick 'em up or do you take them to the airport? Well that doesn't that doesn't really happen anymore. It's it's all Ubers now. No, it does with people
with good man. It does. Believe it or not, people still do that. I don't really pick people up from the airport. I don't I'm not sure I've ever done that. Maybe you're right. Maybe I'm maybe I am impolite.
I met this woman and she said her girlfriend was coming to town. By the way, this isn't a joke. It sounds like I'm setting up a joke.
Yeah, I was gonna say
and And she said, Oh, I gotta get out of here. I'm headed to JFK to pick her up. I'm like, You go to JFK to pick up your girlfriend? Wow. And I'm like, uh I was just like blown away by that. People still do that.
On cats, do you want to hear a fun fact about cats? Yes. If you die in your in your apartment, they'll eat you? They will eat you. Yeah, within within twenty-four hours. So dogs will wait and they'll try to wake you up until they'll start to starve. Dogs will die with you. No, eventually they actually will start taking a nibble, but they'll they'll they'll really try not to. Cats almost immediately as soon as you die, um, they'll eat
Yeah. I like that the president is acting so guilty and I love the c uh he reminds me of my I think I remember he told a show. My when my fifteen year old was five, he wrote on the wall and then he figured out he'd spelled his name on the wall at that moment. That's the that's the look the president has right now. Or my great dame, Leah. I can tell she She she will refuse to look at me in the eye when she's done something wrong. So I'm like, okay. She's peed somewhere and she doesn't remember where and I've got to search the fucking house for the pee 'cause she's clearly done something wrong. Like anyways m so the president's acting like my great dame when she's peed somewhere and can't remember where.
She could not he could not look more guilty right now.
Hundred percent. Um Beyond politics,
mm-hmm.
What's your what is your Thanksgiving plan? I'm I'm pretty excited to take a we're taking a brief break from the show.
Um So true story, back at L two, uh, when I was working really hard, it's scared 'cause I just had these awful dependents called children. They me and a woman named Maureen Mullen, who now I think runs direct to consumer at Nike We used to go to Europe on the Wednesday night of Thanksgiving 'cause we saw it as an advantage to try and lap the competition domestically by going and serving our European clients on Thursday and Friday. That's how out of control we were. Um, in terms of working hard.
I think that's ridiculous.
Next Halloween I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
