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 and 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 podcast.
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.
Today's number, 202,080 kilometers. That's the length of Canada's coastline, the longest in the world. True story. If you're ever wondering what it means when a young woman, a young attractive woman, is wearing a Canada goose jacket, it means she's one bad decision away from having an OnlyFans. I don't fully get it. Surely she's rich if she's got the Canada goose, huh? I don't get it either, but for some reason it made me smile. Maybe it doesn't matter at all. I made that one up. Yeah, I can tell. Doesn't that make sense though? When you see a hot girl in the Canada's goose jacket, there's like a reasonable chance. Surely you've owned a goose. Oh, I own several geese. And now I'm Montclair because I'm the rich douchebag. I went, I literally, I hit a new low.
I went shopping in Montclair with my kid last week. He's like, I need a ski jacket. I'm like, I'll take it to Montclair. I love the apparel and the fashion and skiing. I just don't like skiing much. Yes.
I was trying to imagine you skiing all week. I just can't picture it. That's what you were doing, right? None of us actually really knew where you were or what was going on. You were skiing, right? Yeah, I was in Zermatt.
Any takeaways from being... That's in Switzerland, right? I am officially done skiing. All I can think about, I get off the lift and all I think about is, this is definitely the run I'm tearing the other ACL. And then going to the hospital, catching pneumonia and dying. And then I wonder, and I think a lot about my funeral. That's just not how I want to go. Pneumonia from the torn ACL from Zermatt. I think it's a pretty cool way to go. I think skiing is so overrated.
Are you a big skier? I love skiing. Really? Yeah, my favorite thing is having lunch in the middle of it. I love that you kind of get up early, you're sort of working out, but it's not that intense, but you feel like you've had this big workout and then you all kind of like get together and have this great big lunch and then you head home.
I skipped to the lunch part. One of the wonderful things about European skiing is you'll literally get off a lift and you'll see a plume of smoke and you walk down a hill and you go through this big, you know, this giant wooden door that's out of Game of Thrones. And inside are a bunch of Swiss Germans partying and planning the takeover of Austria. I mean, they're just... Going crazy. It's a ton of fun. By the way, it's probably crazier in Aspen now. The ground zero for douchebag ink is this place called Cloud Nine. Have you heard of this place? I've been there, yeah. So basically, it's this place on the mountain, and you don't really eat lunch. There's one sitting that's actual lunch, and then the next sitting is they pass out, no joke, trash bags that you wear as armor...
And then you buy a nice bottle of champagne and two cheap bottles of champagne for defense. And then they put on crazy music and all these wealthy people with too much money start spraying champagne on each other. And I remember I was there and standing and dancing, which me is shaking my shoulders back and forth to 80s music. Yeah. And our waitress came over.
