Comedian Gary Vider joins the show to discuss his podcast “#1 Dad” and his con-man father who inspired it. They also talk about how he got his start in stand-up and the comedians who helped him along in his early days.
Next, Leah Knauer returns to read the news including stories about JLo filing for divorce from Ben Affleck, a colonoscopy doctor allegedly not hearing a patient screaming because he didn’t have his hearing aid in, a new non-dating app that connects groups of people just for meals, and a survey that found Fresno to have the most chivalrous men in California.
Finally, statistician and professional poker player Nate Silver makes his first ACS appearance to talk about his new book “On the Edge: The Art of Risking Everything.” They also talk about his site FiveThreeEight getting bought by Disney and the benefits of leaving the mainstream media in favor of Substack. Then they discuss what Nate’s model predicts for the upcoming presidential election and his relationship with Sam Bankman-Fried.
