This week, we welcome book critic and Philly basketball devotee Jennifer Wilson back to the show. We discuss [1:00] the epidemic of belligerent airline passengers; [6:25] the surprising (and not so surprising) firings of Tucker Carlson from Fox News and Don Lemon from CNN; [15:10] Jen’s favorite 76er, James Harden, and his ejection for nut-punching; and [27:40] journalist Lauren Oyler’s recent piece on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop cruise and the sexist genre of wellness writing.
In this episode, we ask:
Why do so many basketball players punch and kick one another in the crotch?
Are the Tucker Carlsons and Don Lemons of the world easily replaceable?
What (besides capitalism, duh) makes us so obsessed with wellness?
How is vulnerability (especially in women) used to sell products, activate people online, and smooth out social relations?
In the 18th century, the French writer and philosopher Voltaire said, ??”This body which was called, and which still calls itself, the Holy Roman Empire was in no way holy, nor Roman, nor an empire.”
Since then, some variation of this quote has found itself into history classes around the world.
So what exactly was the Holy Roman Empire, and was Voltaire right?
Learn more about the Holy Roman Empire and find out if it was holy, was Roman, and if it was an empire on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Ravi, Rikki, and newcomer Micky jump into #TrendyTuesday, looking at four trends shaping our world. First, the trio talk about community college enrollment, which has been plummeting over the past decade. What’s behind the drop? And should we invest in reversing it? Then the group pivots to our podcast’s most talked about generation: GenZ. Zoomers are traveling in record numbers compared to their peer generations, and many are swiping their credit cards to do it. Are these travel experiences worth the debt? Then we answer a pressing question about the future of remote jobs, which were all the rage during the pandemic (for obvious reasons). But are they still viable for businesses? We figure out the answers (remotely). Finally, we take on the music industry, which has already gone through so many disruptions over the past two decades. Will TikTok be the music distributor’s final boss?
