Something You Should Know

How Apple Became a $3 Trillion Company & Why We Love to Laugh

12 May 2025

Description

It is so tempting. The gas pump clicks off indicating that your tank is full but there is that urge to squeeze out a few more drops. Should you? This episode begins by explaining what happens when you do that. ⁠https://cluballiance.aaa.com/the-extra-mile/advice/car/seo-should-you-really-top-off-your-gas-tank⁠ Apple is a huge company worth $3 trillion. It makes money from products (iPhone, computers, smart watch etc.) and services (App store, Apple Pay etc.). Most Apple products are made and assembled in China and the impact Apple has made in China is astonishing and a story you must hear. Here to tell it is Patrick McGee. He was the Financial Times’s principal Apple reporter from 2019 to 2023. Previously, he was a reporter at The Wall Street Journal and is now the author of the book ⁠Apple In China: The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company (https://amzn.to/4cXXwfC).⁠ We love to laugh. We seek it out. We go to comedy clubs and watch funny movies in order to laugh. Why do we do that? What is it about laughter that makes us feel so good? What makes something or someone funny? Joining me for an interesting discussion about this is Jesse David Fox, Senior Editor and comedy critic at Vulture. He also hosts a podcast called ⁠Good One (https://www.vulture.com/good-one)⁠ and he is author of the book, ⁠Comedy Book: How Comedy Conquered Culture―and the Magic That Makes It Work (https://amzn.to/4iIRnW5).⁠ All cancer is scary but pancreatic is particularly horrible because it often goes undetected until it is too late – and because no one really knows what causes it. Interestingly, there does seem to be a link between pancreatic cancer and sunlight. Listen as I explain. ⁠https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150430082151.htm⁠ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Heute bei SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW. Warum ist es eine schlechte Idee, den Tank an der Gasstation zu öffnen? Dann die unerzählte Geschichte von Apple und wie sie so viel Geld machen, außer von Telefonen und Computern.

46.416 - 60.928 Patrick McGee

Eigentlich ist das Geld in der App Store. Also jedes Mal, wenn du eine digitale App kaufst, nimmt Apple 30 Prozent. Und dann hast du Dinge wie Google. Hey, ist Apple 20 Billionen Dollar pro Jahr, um nur Google, das defaulte Search Engine, auf jedem iPhone zu haben?

61.588 - 70.811 Mike Carruthers

Auch die interessante Verbindung zwischen Sonne und pancreatischem Schmerz und Lachen. Was macht etwas lustig? Und warum genießen wir Komik?

70.831 - 87.956 Jesse David Fox

Wir haben Komik, weil es eine evolutionäre Bedürfnis gibt, zu lachen. Wir lachen wahrscheinlich für die gleichen Gründe, wie Primaten lachen und andere Tiere lachen. Komik ist im Grunde eine Ausgründung davon und hat sich als eine Weise entwickelt, um der Gesellschaft die Tensionen der Existenz zu lösen.

88.036 - 110.194 Mike Carruthers

All das heute auf SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW. We talk a lot about health on Something You Should Know and I guess it motivates me. I mean, I'm not a nut about it, but I try to take care of my health. I want to preserve my mobility and strength as I get older. And I recently started taking this supplement. Maybe you've heard about it. It's called MitoPure.

110.234 - 134.354 Mike Carruthers

MitoPure is a precise dose of something called Urolithin A that supports your health by encouraging cellular renewal. Since I started taking it, I can tell I have more energy and I notice I recover faster after I exercise. I did some research on this too. There's some real science here that supports what I'm saying. And so does my experience.

134.394 - 160.376 Mike Carruthers

MitoPure is the only urolithin A supplement on the market that is clinically proven to target the effects of age-related cellular decline. Und MitoPure ist gezeigt, dass es eine Doppel-Digit-Erhöhung in Muskelkraft und Stabilität gibt, ohne eine Veränderung im Übungen. Aus meiner eigenen Erfahrung habe ich mehr Energie und Kraft und fühle mich überall besser jeden Tag. Und wer will das nicht?
