The Complete Guide to Everything

This week Tom turns another year older. We explore the history of birthday parties (a surprisingly recent invention born of 19th century consumerism), the decades-long legal battle over who owned "Happy Birthday to You," and the unsettling data showing you're more likely to die on your birthday. Also: the latest update to the Meet the Parents’ franchise.

This week, we take the show underground (LITERALLY!) after we experienced the splendor of the subterranean world. We talk about the difference between caves and caverns, how certain caves are a part of show business, and the surprisingly bloody history of the Kentucky Cave Wars.

It's been 54 years since anyone's been to the moon and we're finally sending people back up there. Well, near the moon. This week we break down the Artemis II mission, NASA's first crewed flight beyond low Earth orbit since 1972, featuring the crew's Severance Halloween costumes, the Canadian who got a free ride, and one astronaut's prophetic tweet about dreaming of lunar orbit. Also: Tom's harrowing trip to the DMV, the middle-aged man speedball, descenders, and whether you'd get space madness within the first hour.

This week we're talking about everyone's favorite Canadian Goose, Ryan Gosling. We cover his early days corrupting children on the Mickey Mouse Club alongside Justin Timberlake, his commitment to gaining 60 pounds in for a role he promptly got fired from, and why he might be the only guy left who can carry a movie on pure charm alone.
