Buying a house has long been considered the best way to build wealth and move into true adulting.
Isn't it? I mean, at least that's what society wants us to think. Gotta get a Birkin, gotta get a home, you know.
Okay, the handbag you can probably manage without. But what about a house? Surely that's actually good, right? We're going to find out this week on Explain It To Me. New episodes every Sunday morning, wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, this is Peter Kafka. I'm the host of Channels, a podcast about technology and media and how they're both changing all the time. And this week, I'm trying to figure out how Donald Trump is changing the media in Washington, in the courtroom, and in the boardroom. On to help me figure it all out is Sarah Fisher, the excellent Washington-based media reporter for Axios. That's this week on Channels, wherever you get your favorite podcasts.
Today's number, five inches. That's the length of a live turtle that a Pennsylvanian man attempted to smuggle through airport security in his pants last week. True story, Ed. I was blessed with a seven-inch dick, but now the priest is in jail. Ed, how are you? Ed, how are you? I'm just putting it together in my head. We have all these young interns. They're literally just note to self, exhibit 22B. If I don't keep giving them increase, they're literally every day balancing the money they'll get from the lawsuit that I'll settle out of court. Only upside for us. Oh, we have a new intern. Wait, who's the new one? That's probably Bella you're talking about, who just came on full time. No longer an intern. Oh, Bella. Hey, Bella.
Welcome to Prop G Markets. That's right. She came to... Let's talk about me. I was at Stern yesterday and I spoke to 500 students and Bella came. And yeah, I was super nice to everyone. And then she told me she works for us. I'm like, I pay you. I don't need to be nice to you. That's right. Anyways, welcome, Bella. Very good. Welcome, Bella. Let's talk about Priests.
What's going on with you, Ed? I'm doing pretty well, Scott, back in New York. And I'm just kind of... I just feel very good about how that South by trip went. I thought that was a great show. Talk about that. That was awesome, wasn't it? So much fun. I think the key detail is that we had 1,500 people outside of the doors. So that's what I've been telling everyone when I just come back and brag to people about how successful this show is. That's my big takeaway, that we had to turn away Two-thirds of the audience. What was your takeaway?
I'm now Pete Townsend. I'm the most talented member of the band, but fucking, what's his face? The lead singer? What's that guy's name? I don't even know who Pete Townsend is. Oh, Jesus Christ. Exactly. You're going to have a panic attack hearing that. He was the lead guitarist of The Who. But the front man, Richard Daltrey, who starred in a great movie, Pinball Wizard, very handsome, better looking than the more talented... Pete Townsend, this is where I'm going. Everyone's like, oh, oh, Roger Daltrey, not giving any love to the real talent, Peter Townsend. And that's what it feels like at South by Southwest. Everyone's like, oh, Prof G, what?
That's not true at all. Yeah. What did you think of that? We went to this Vox Media dinner and it was very cool for me because I got to sit next to Andy Roddick and I was a huge fan of him growing up.
You're not a fan of Megan Rapinoe? I think there's a little sexism in here. There are a lot of amazing female athletes that you have not mentioned at that dinner. There were. I wasn't that into women's soccer at the time. Jesus, Claire. Can you believe this guy? Bella, I apologize.
And he calls himself a football fan, too. No love for Megan.
Arguably one of the greatest football players in history, but you didn't bring her up. I didn't, but Andy Roddick. You brought up the white dude that plays tennis.
Okay, you got to give Andy Roddick his credit. Fastest serve in history, yes.
And you went to Princeton, right? I did, yeah. Six foot three, white male. Figures. Privileged. The patriarchy. Oh, my God. Thank God I've got Claire. I totally agree with that. But literally on that stage of us with us was Megan Rapinoe, arguably one of the greatest, you know, football players in history.
