Today on the show, Paul and Ben talk about HOAs, the World Cup, spoilers for episode 8, Reno 911 and del Arte, Clarkson's Farm, quesadillas, weight loss, misdelivered mail, prison breaks, Alpine Divorce, Hippy Hike Fight, seeing Paul Thomas Anderson and Adam Sandler after a screening of Punch Drunk Love, the step-sister and the dogwood trees, Douglas Adams' inspiration for Hitchhiker's Guide, and finally AI Slop.

We often place our hopes in political leaders, military strength, alliances, and diplomatic agreements. And these may all have their place - but ultimately, they are not our protection. Our protection comes from Hashem  "אִישׁ מִלְחָמָה"   "Hashem - the Master of War".

We live in a "post-truth" world where reality is often bent to fit personal emotions, beliefs, or convenience. But the festival of Shavuot stands as a powerful reminder of the exact opposite. This Shavuot, as we celebrate the giving of the Torah, we are celebrating a timeless anchor in a shifting world.

FOLLOW UP starts with merchandise promotion and YouTube begging reminiscent of 2007, before GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen gets thoroughly criticized by eBay after proposing a $56 billion takeover plan that eBay called “neither credible nor attractive,” which is corporate-speak for “please stop emailing us at 3 a.m.” Meanwhile, California residents might finally receive a small settlement check from Grubhub worth about half a burrito, just as Americans realize they dislike AI data centers even more than nuclear plants because nobody wants a warehouse full of GPUs boiling away the local water supply. Lake Tahoe residents are learning their electricity now goes to AI processing plants instead of people, xAI keeps adding methane turbines despite being sued over them, and SpaceXAI employees are fleeing Elon's “sleep under your desk forever” lifestyle as if it were the last helicopter out of Saigon.IN THE NEWS, we start gently with the revelation that everyone at the Musk v. Altman trial is sitting on luxury butt cushions because apparently the singularity requires lumbar support, before plunging straight into the abyss: fake AI crypto journalists haunting Forbes and HuffPost like SEO poltergeists, OpenAI launching “Daybreak” so the robots can now secure the software they helped break, Anthropic trying to stop AI from becoming evil by feeding it morality fan fiction, and Google catching AI-generated zero-day exploits in the wild because cyberpunk novels were apparently instructional manuals. Waymo robotaxis are experimenting with driving into floodwaters, a family is suing OpenAI after ChatGPT allegedly advised their son to mix drugs with fatal results, graduating students booed an executive for praising AI as if she were announcing the arrival of cholera, and Meta continues its speedrun toward becoming the world's largest scam mall while simultaneously demanding everyone trust its shiny new “encrypted AI chats.” Also: Meta is testing Grok-for-Threads, somebody created an AI poop-analysis startup that quietly sells your bowel movements to data brokers, GM got nailed for selling driver data, Lime still somehow exists and wants an IPO, and Japan's first 3D-printed house shows that the future will at least look cool even as society collapses.MEDIA CANDY features Spotify celebrating twenty years of collecting your listening habits into a psychological profile you absolutely didn't care about during the CD era, plus The Punisher: One Last Kill ironically looking like unfinished PlayStation cutscenes, Good Omens Season 3, Devil May Cry Season 2, NBC somehow turning Wordle into a TV show because every executive has fully given up, shorter waits for Severance Season 3, and Rings of Power returning in November to continue spending the GDP of a small nation on elf misery.APPS & DOODADS checks in with Apple as it prepares Siri app integrations that developers already suspect will become subscription-based hostage situations. TikTok is testing an ad-free tier in the UK because, somehow, ads weren't already enough punishment. Venmo is finally realizing that public payment feeds are insane. There's a Wikipedia clone made entirely of AI hallucinations, and an iPad arm mount sturdy enough to survive the upcoming climate wars.AT THE LIBRARY wraps up with Clowns (First Contact), Dungeon Crawler Carl, the demise of another Goodreads competitor, Kindle alternatives for those trying to escape Amazon's panopticon, and a reminder that Douglas Adams has now been gone for 25 years, which remains, in the immortal words of the man himself, widely regarded as a bad move.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyCleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

„Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis“: Mit seinem satirischen Science-Fiction-Roman gab Douglas Adams der Welt die Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Sinn des Lebens, des Universums und allem anderen. Vor 25 Jahren starb der Kultautor mit nur 49 Jahren. Strecker, Nicole www.deutschlandfunk.de, Kalenderblatt

Simon and Eugene look at the Dalek Master Plan, including the newly-recovered episodes 1 and 3, and they discuss companion deaths, the traditional Christmas Dalek, whether Douglas Adams watched this serial, and whether Mavic Chen could have been blue.

Send us Fan MailWith the expansion of properties created by Douglas Adams after his death, Jeff and Bryan ask each other this question a lot... If you do not want others to expand his works, would you rather have nothing at all? The answer is always YES. However, there are mixed feelings about it. So, Jeff and Bryan are going to discuss reboots and sequels of other works in the sci-fi/fantasy genre and point out their opinions of the ones that worked and the ones that gave it a good try... even if they haven't seen them.This has been a Froods for Thought production.

If your faith is just based on 'Because I believe…,' it's vulnerable to intellectual challenge – like 'Who created God?' What is the answer to this question?

Douglas Adams wrote the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy to demonstrate the absurdity of trying to figure it all out and Groucho Marx illustrated the futility of taking things too seriously. What happens when two of the most brilliant comedic minds ever step in from the nonphysical to speak directly to you? In this Dead Talk session, Christy brings through Douglas Adams and Groucho Marx—and what unfolds is unlike anything you've ever heard. They don't come to give answers. They come to unravel the need for them. With sharp wit, irreverent humor, and startling clarity, they reveal something far more liberating: what if the seriousness you've been carrying is the only thing standing between you and freedom? Through a series of deceptively simple questions, they lead you into a direct experience of what it feels like to stop searching, stop controlling, and stop trying to make sense of it all. And in that space, something unexpected happens. You begin to feel the truth. This episode will challenge your need for meaning and invite you into what they call “the cosmic joke”—a perspective shift so profound, it may change how you see every problem, every goal, and every moment of your life. If you've ever felt the pressure to figure it all out… If you've ever taken your life just a little too seriously… Or if you're ready to experience a kind of freedom you didn't know was possible… You are going to want to hear every minute of this episode Read about The Freedom Project here Schedule a call with Christy to learn more about The Freedom Project here Schedule a call with Gary to learn more about The Freedom Project here        

The Torah commands us to count the days from Pesach to Shavuos. We call this Sefirat HaOmer. Yet the name is puzzling. The Omer was a one-time barley offering brought in the temple on the second day of Pesach. Why define this entire period of counting by a one-time korban? Wouldn't it be more precise to call it: "The Count to Shavuos?" Parshat Kedoshim is filled not with ethereal ideas, but with practical mitzvos: honesty in business, respect for others, sensitivity, restraint. Because once a person internalizes that Hashem fills all reality, holiness is no longer something distant—it becomes something imminent and immediate. Acharei Mos leads to Kedoshim.  In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, "Feels Like The First Time", "Cold as Ice" and "Long, Long Way from Home". Other production work included "The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars", "The Curves", and "Nutz" as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly.

One of the most difficult things in davening, praying, is when we say the Shema, and we pronounce Hashem's Name, we are meant to think: He is the Creator of everything. Not just the Earth, not just the solar system, the universe - everything. Beyond. And beyond the beyond. Now this isn't an easy thing to imagine. But when I saw those pictures from Artemis II, I got help in visualizing that idea.

Welcome to the 200th episode of Extraordinary Creatives: two hundred conversations with artists, thinkers, makers and cultural leaders about the strange, beautiful, often messy reality of building a creative life. And I couldn't imagine a better guest to mark this moment than the brilliant John Lloyd CBE. One of the great creative architects behind some of the most loved comedy formats of the past fifty years. He began at the BBC in the 1970s and helped create programmes that have become cultural landmarks: The News Quiz, Not the Nine O'Clock News, Blackadder, Spitting Image, and the long-running curiosity engine that is QI.  Along the way he co-wrote the original Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio series with Douglas Adams, directed the iconic Genesis “Land of Confusion” video, and has won more BAFTAs than almost anyone alive. But what struck me most, isn't just the scale of his career, it's the way he thinks about creativity itself. John talks openly about the difficult things that shaped him and the strange truth that some of the most uncomfortable moments in life later reveal themselves as gifts.  He reminds us that every creative life includes adversity, and that the ability to transform those experiences into fuel - into insight, humour, empathy or invention – is what stops artists giving up. John is a powerful reminder that great ideas take time. Some of his shows took years to get made. Whether you're a writer, artist, musician - or simply someone trying to make meaningful work  - there is wisdom in this conversation. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we stay with an idea long enough - clearing away the sand, listening more deeply than we speak - what looks ordinary begins to reveal its own quiet, astonishing shape. There are two selves. There's the little yaky person in your head - then there's the true self, which only arrives when you're in the zone, when you're in the state of flow. The heartbreaks, the projects that fall apart - those “disasters” become compost, feeding the work we were actually meant to make. BEST MOMENTS “Creativity is like archaeology. You shovel mountains of sand… and eventually you uncover the sphinx.” “Ideas appear. The difference with creative people is they notice them.” “Deep listening means you're paying attention with not just your ears, with your whole body.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://www.instagram.com/johnlloydqi https://www.qi.com HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

Send us Fan MailIn 1980, the Doctor Who episode, Shada, was started but never completed and was shelved never to be seen. In 1992, a VHS reconstruction of the episode was released with Tom Baker doing an introduction and filling in missing scenes via narrative description. In 2003, Big Finish did a remake of it with Paul McGann as the Doctor using limited flash animation. In 2017, a version was released as a movie (rather than in six episodic segments) with animated restoration and the original cast doing the voices for the missing scenes. The main focus will be on the 2017 movie, but Jeff and Bryan will touch on all the versions.This has been a Froods for Thought production.

New episode out now! We watched the first episode of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, a quirky scifi show about a “holistic detective”. We discuss the fact that, due to the nature of the holistic premise, Dirk Gently is not actually that great of a detective; things just keep happening around him enough that he eventually figures stuff out without pursuing any clues specifically. We learn about the addition of Todd to the original premise and enjoyed his realistic reactions to the wild situations, get into the mystery box storytelling device utilized in shows like this, speculate about unreliable narration and what holistic interconnectedness actually means, and do agree it felt very Douglas Adams does Doctor Who - because it kind of is. Katy is face-blind to white brunette women, Carrie will always stop for dogs, Maddy cannot stop thinking about X2, and Mack misses boredom. We also learn about great t-shirts to wear with your partner, understand that interesting does not mean good, have questions about Seattle real estate, and would not turn down $10,000. Listen to hear more about sucking life forces, LOST, weird brain stuff, learning languages, bus procedures, shapeshifting, and more. Enjoy!TW: Drug use, hallucinations

When you bake bread, you mix the flour and the water, you knead it, and then you set it aside. Your involvement ends at that point. Yet the dough does not remain static. The dough, so to speak, takes over. It seems to change "on its own" Matzah is the exact opposite. From the moment the dough is mixed, it's never left to rise, never left to "develop" on its own. Bread, Chametz, represents a world that seems to be self-raising - where nature appears to operate by itself. And Matzah represents a world where nothing can happen independently of Hashem.

All Jewish festivals are linked to the calendar date and not the day of the week - with one exception: Shabbat HaGadol, which we observe on the day and not the date.

Join us for a hands-on worldbuilding exercise as we create a superpower-based magic system by answering these 7 questions: Are the superpowers based on magic or science or both? Do the powers have a theme to them? Do people gain powers randomly, are they born with them, or can they acquire them in some intentional way? What can people do with their superpowers? What are the limits, requirements, or costs of having the superpowers? Are superpowers rare or common? Can a person only have one power, or is it possible to have many? How does society view people with superpowers?   Visit the Tavern: Website | Discord | TikTok | Bookshop Support us and get bonus episodes by joining our Patreon Next month's novel: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (Disclosure: we are a Bookshop.org affiliate, so if you purchase through these links, we will earn a small commission AND you will support an indie bookstore!)

“You would not want to be me.” — Elon MuskYesterday I argued that Dario Amodei is the most interesting man in America because he's doing something nobody else has the balls to do: acting like a human being in public. Elon Musk is the opposite. He has the balls — nobody would deny that — but what's missing is the human-being. Or perhaps Elon is all-too-human, which explains why so many of us — including myself — loathe him.Charles Steel, a London investor, doesn't loathe Elon. In fact, he's self-published a book about him: The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently. Rather than an Elon hagiography, Steel insists, it's an attempt to explain why Musk admirers don't fully understand him, and the Hate-Elon crowd would probably loathe him for different reasons even if they had full navigation rights to his mind.As I said, I'm in the second camp. My dislike of Musk is political — the cosying up to Trump, the DOGE fiasco, the embrace of far-right groups, the transformation of Twitter into a safe space for misanthropes. But Steel makes a case that, in our therapeutic culture, might be harder for some to dismiss: Musk's “curious mind” is the product of childhood bullying, high-functioning autism, an abusive father, and an existential crisis resolved not by philosophy but by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Apparently Elon read Nietzsche and that, of course, only compounded his existential crisis. Probably because Nietzsche was warning us about a future dominated by philistines like Elon Musk.In navigating the Musk mind, Steel discovers three traits: hyper-rationality, existential angst, and belligerence. Lots of Silicon Valley founders have the first. Some have the second. Almost none have the third. The combination produces a man who genuinely believes that the scientific method — the right of anyone to criticize anything — is a secular religion, and that “wokeness” is a competing religion that must be destroyed. Whether or not you buy this self-serving argument, Steel might be right to stress a Musk worldview — even if that worldview is often childishly indefensible.I suggested to Steel that Musk is trapped in a Hobbesian state of nature — frozen alone, unable to read other people, incapable of separating himself from himself. A kind of naturally narcissistic state. This is what I most dislike about Elon. That he's normalizing this state of nature. Nietzsche might (like his contemporary disciple Peter Thiel) have called him the Anti-Christ. He's certainly the anti-Dario. Five Takeaways•       Musk Is the Anti-Dario: Amodei acts like a human being in public. Musk has the balls but what's missing is the human-being. Or perhaps he's all-too-human, which explains why so many of us loathe him. The contrast between them is the story of Silicon Valley in 2026.•       Steel's Case Is Harder to Dismiss Than You'd Think: Musk's “curious mind” is the product of childhood bullying, high-functioning autism, an abusive father, and an existential crisis resolved not by philosophy but by The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He read Nietzsche and it made things worse. Probably because Nietzsche was warning us about philistines like Musk.•       Three Traits: Hyper-Rationality, Angst, and Belligerence: Lots of Silicon Valley founders have the first. Some have the second. Almost none have the third. The combination produces a man who believes the scientific method is a secular religion and wokeness is a competing one that must be destroyed. Whether or not you buy this self-serving argument, Steel might be right to stress a Musk worldview — even if it's often childishly indefensible.•       Trapped in a Hobbesian State of Nature: Musk is frozen alone, unable to read other people, incapable of separating himself from himself. A kind of naturally narcissistic state. What's most dangerous about Elon is that he's normalising this state of nature for the rest of us.•       The Anti-Christ and the Anti-Dario: Nietzsche might, like his contemporary disciple Peter Thiel, have called Musk the Anti-Christ. He's certainly the anti-Dario. The contrast between Amodei and Musk is the story of Silicon Valley — and perhaps America — in 2026. About the GuestCharles Steel is a London-based investor and writer. He has worked with Tony Blair and Save the Children. His book The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently is self-published and out now. His next project is on Albert Camus.References:•       The Curious Mind of Elon Musk: Nine Ways He Thinks Differently by Charles Steel — the book under discussion.•       Episode 2835: Why Dario Amodei Might Be the 21st Century's First Real Leader — yesterday's TWTW, the direct counterpoint.•       Zero to One by Peter Thiel — referenced by Steel on Asperger-like traits and Silicon Valley success.•       The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams — the book Musk credits with resolving his existential crisis.•       The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus — Steel's next project, and the question he'd most like to discuss with Musk.About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

In dieser Folge nehmen wir dich mit auf eine Reise zu den Anfängen der ägyptischen Zivilisation – an einen Ort, der unser Bild vom Alten Ägypten radikal verändert. Wir entdecken gemeinsam eine 5.000 Jahre alte Mega-Brauerei im Wüstensand von Abidos, deren Produktionsvolumen und Technik selbst heutige Maßstäbe sprengt. Wir erzählen die archäologische Detektivgeschichte hinter der Entdeckung, tauchen ein in die raffinierte Brautechnologie und entschlüsseln, warum das Bier damals nicht nur Genuss- sondern vor allem Machtdemonstration war. Erlebe mit uns, wie die Ägypter Geschmack komponierten, Ressourcen verschwenden konnten – und wie diese Brauerei den Grundstein für die Pyramiden legte. Sei dabei, wenn wir Geschichte neu brauen!

Forget humanoid robots! The ultimate labor saver has been available for the last three thousand-odd years. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody". His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band "Foreigner" (1976).

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy began as a wildly improbable idea brought to life in London. This is the story of Douglas Adams, the BBC, and the birth of one of the funniest creations in modern fiction.

Send a textWay back in 1998, Jeff and Bryan both bought a brand new CD ROM game with a revolutionary new conversation engine. It was Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic. Fast-forward 28 years and they decided to buy, from GOG.com, a re-released version compatible with todays operating systems. They discovered while playing it that they remembered almost nothing about solving the puzzles. Here they will talk about their feelings about the game and their journey through it. They will also present all the puzzles and their solutions. I would say "spoiler alert," however, you would be hard pressed to remember any of it.This has been a Froods for Thought production.

I remember opening a book quite recently and the aroma of the pages instantly transported me back to my days in kindergarten.

Prepare sua toalha e não entre em pânico! Neste episódio, Gabi e Andreia pegam carona na nave Coração de Ouro para atravessar o espaço-tempo ao lado Arthur Dent, recém-despejado do próprio planeta, um guia eletrônico nada confiável e um presidente galáctico com sérios problemas de ego. Sim, estamos falando de O Guia do Mochileiro das Galáxias, de Douglas Adams — a comédia sci-fi mais irreverente do universo — e de sua adaptação cinematográfica dirigida por Garth Jennings, que levou às telas toda a excentricidade, o humor nonsense e as reflexões absurdamente filosóficas sobre a vida, o universo e tudo mais (42, claro). Então, ajuste seu peixe babel, revise seu verbete favorito do Guia e venha ouvir — porque entender o sentido da vida pode ser impossível, mas rir do absurdo é absolutamente essencial.

Zdravo! V 300. epizodi sta nas obiskala Maja Prijatelj Videmšek in Boštjan Videmšek, ki sta nam skozi usodo Najin in Fatu (zadnjih dveh severnih belih nosoroginj) servirala brutalno lekcijo iz geopolitike in nas popeljala skozi "klavnico" neustavljivega napredka najbolj krute živalske vrste. Izvedeli smo, kako češki AK-47 in kitajske vraže o čudežnem prahu zlijejo v koktajl, ki je izbrisal (ne samo eno) živalsko vrsto. Naučimo se tudi da je afriška svetovna vojna kirva za smrti na desetine milijonov ljudi in tudi da so znanstveni dočakali biotehnološki čudež, ki pa so ga odnesle podnebne spremembe. Tragično. Za konec pa preprost plan za preživetje: beri, sprejemaj naravo in ne jej mesa.

When you give, it's really nothing to do with the thing itself. The thing itself is just the box. The container. What's inside the box is you. You give yourself. The gift is the giving. Receiving is about what you get. Giving is always about giving yourself.

The Torah commands us not to cause unnecessary suffering to animals, Not just for the sake of the animal, but because cruelty damages the human soul. Parshas Mishpatim is about caring when no one is looking. The Torah demands kindness precisely where there is no gratitude, no recognition. Animals won't thank you.

They discuss yet another version of the fantastic Meaning of Liff book, this time for the 42nd anniversary of the first publication. They chat about where the idea came from, how John and Douglas Adams happily collaborated on this idea, even after falling out over Hitchhiker's Guide, whether being bumped out of that project was actually the best thing for John, how money and fame never fill the hole that people who covet them hope it will fill, whether any of the definitions have achieved general acceptance, how John got Hitchhikers Guide on to the TV (even if they quickly shot him off into space), the legendary Not 1982 book that spawned the Meaning of Liff as a book (and Rich proudly brings in the copy of Not 1983 that he won at school) and how laughing til you cry at stupid ideas is one of the joys of comedy collaboration, even if the double act eventually ends in acrimony. Plus the genesis of the News Quiz, how perfectionism can lead to accusations of being difficult, why buying a yacht is a dick move and how John almost died the perfect comedy death.Buy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/the-meaning-of-liff-the-original-dictionary-of-things-there-should-be-words-for-douglas-adams/11921SUPPORT THE SHOW!See details of the RHLSTP LIVE DATES Watch our TWITCH CHANNELBecome a badger and see extra content at our WEBSITE Buy DVDs and books from GO FASTER STRIPE Hosted on Acast.
