FULL EPISODE: Your Weirdest Friends - October 21, 2025
Description
Foreign correspondent Tony Five opens the show with top stories: Aggressive sea otter bites California surfer and hijacks their surfboard; and Police break up a LEGO theft ring, recovering hundreds of beheaded figurines. Tony and David then discuss the weirdest friends they have. Forensic epistemology professor Rasmus Rosenberg Larsen questions whether there is such a thing as a psychopath. (Check out Rasmus's book Psychopathy Unmasked here.) Psychology professor Dr. Shane Bench explains how boredom drives people to seek new experiences – even when they're unpleasant. Reporter Kelsey Vlamis describes how Gen Z is desperate for landlines – and are creating their own makeshift versions with cellphones. Future-of-work reporter Tim Paradis says don't panic: AI isn't here for your job (yet). Associate professor of marketing Fabrizio Di Muro reveals how payroll-delivered emergency savings accounts could be a solution to your financial stress.
