Dan and Michael Touch Grass: Social media, crypto wages, and a house with 13 doors walk into a podcast

Politicians posting bread, waiters demanding crypto, and a guy installing 13 doors to keep the cosmos aligned. Just another week on People Stuff — the anthropological advice show where touching grass means thinking deeply about why humans do the weird things we do. This week, Dan and Michael tackle: 🗳️ When your politician’s social media feed is 90% baguettes — and why authenticity might be the last political virtue left. 🍝 The great restaurant union crypto debate — solidarity vs. speculation, and whether your paycheck belongs on the blockchain. 🚪 The man with too many doors — and what happens when liminality becomes a load-bearing problem. Plus, the Fixing Shit segment gets delightfully dystopian as Michael proposes paying (or darting?) people into vaccine compliance. Anthropology meets public health meets bounty hunting. From shamanic therapists to door-worshipping homeowners, People Stuff is your weekly reminder that culture is weird, funny, and completely unavoidable.
