Hey, I'm Cal Penn, and on my new podcast, Here We Go Again, we'll take today's trends and headlines and ask, why does history keep repeating itself? Each week, I'm calling up my friends like Bill Nye, Lilly Singh, and Pete Buttigieg to talk about everything from the space race to movie remakes to psychedelics. Put another way, are you high? Yeah. Look, the world can seem pretty scary right now, but my goal here is for you to listen and feel a little better about the future. Listen and subscribe to Here We Go Again with Cal Penn on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, I'm Kyle McLaughlin. You might know me as that guy from Twin Peaks, Sex and the City, or just The Internet Stand. I have a new podcast called What Are We Even Doing? where I embark on a noble quest to understand the brilliant chaos of youth culture. Each week, I invite someone fascinating to join me to talk about navigating this high-speed rollercoaster we call reality. Join me and my delightful guests every Thursday and let's get weird together in a good way. Listen to What Are We Even Doing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey guys, it's Josh. And for this week's Select, I've chosen our 2015 episode on ESP. It's a really good one. We talk about all sorts of things about ESP, including the science. And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking science and ESP? Yes, indeed. And that's one of the things that makes this episode so cool. So I hope you will open your mind, tune in, turn on, drop out, keep on trucking, and enjoy this episode.
Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of iHeartRadio.
hey and welcome to the podcast i'm josh clark there's charles w chuck bryant and jerry's over there i didn't even have to look why i just knew uh yes and dudes and dudettes we are in our new studio yeah can you tell does it sound different it's the very first one and um it's tiny wait what do you mean it's the very first one Very, very first podcast that we've recorded in here. Oh, gotcha. Yeah. Yeah. I was going to say, I said tiny, but it's not tiny. It's cozy, but it is all ours. Yeah. All ours. Everybody else at How Stuff Works doesn't really know that yet, but they will. Yeah, because when we actually have butt detection, when someone sits down in these seats that aren't us, they get a shock. Yeah, and plus an alarm goes off at our desks.
Yeah, what's that called, DMR? TMI. How are you, sir? I'm pretty good. I feel like this is fancy. This is our first real studio. That's not true. No, I'm trying to remember. The last one was, no. But it's not a utility closet. It's not a lactation room. It's not, yeah. It's not a murder room. It's not like an office with like desk, like office furniture. Yeah. It's a studio that was built out for the specific purpose of recording podcasts. Yep. All we have to do is put up our Aaron Cooper originals, the artwork. Got a couple of those waiting to come. And we got to work on the lighting in here a little bit. Yeah. Jerry said she's going to hang some china balls for us. Yeah, she keeps pushing the china balls. So anyway, enough about that.
We just wanted to say we're super excited to be in our new office and our new studio. It does feel good. Yeah. Kudos for that intro. I'm not going to say that I knew you were going to say that. Yeah, I was going to say that too. I knew that you were thinking of saying that, Chuck. Yes. ESP. Do you believe in ESP? No. No, not at all?
No.
What do you think it is? Because surely, I mean, just about anyone could agree that humans have some sort of ability somehow to make good guesses or to predict the future, whatever you want to call it. Do you agree or do you think it's strictly just us selectively paying attention to random instances over others? I think it's that. And as we'll talk about, I think it's just the nature of coincidence is going to happen because so many things happen every day that something is bound to seem like something you dreamed about the night before at some point in your life.
