Hi. On today's episode, Cody, Katy, and producer Jonathan Harris talk about why the Olympics shouldn't be happening this week (or maybe ever), why it's probably not going to save the world to manufacture cars in space, and how a mental health pilot program that replaces cops with social workers is working!

I listened to this on my drive to work at an Amazon fulfillment center.

Your cynicism around the Olympics is probably because your country is always on the podiums - one thing you may not get coming from a "big, powerful sports nation" is the feeling of when your country wins a medal for the very first time ever! In 2016, Fiji won their first medal in 64 years of competing. They did this with sweet F all money behind them. The Olympics is exciting for those of us who live in smaller nations who seldom get to see their athletes compete at world level. Ecuador won its THIRD medal ever just the other day. It's not about it being sport that I like, sometimes its about watching small nations kicking the arse of nations with a shit tonne of money and it is about showing that can still be done.
