Dan and Michael Touch Grass
In this episode of People Stuff, Dan and Michael chart the far reaches of our human capacity for delusion by pondering a politician’s social media presence, considering one chef’s ruinous obsession with crypto-currency, and parsing the inter-dimensional potential of some ill-conceived home renovations.
