Why Does The Modern World Make No Sense? - Tom Segura - #901
About this episode
Tom Segura is a comedian, podcaster, and actor.
These days, making sense of the world is harder than ever. From billionaires reshaping governments to debates over whether modern car chassis can support the average obese person. There’s no shortage of absurdities. Luckily, Tom has plenty to say about them.
Expect to learn why Gen Z is more likely to skip the gym and use Ozempic instead, if Tom can and will reset his Instagram algorithm, why Gen Z is more likely to drink less and smoke more, why the younger generation is sexless than most, Tom’s thoughts on Elon’s current rampage through government bureaucracy, Tom’s recent obsession with True Crime documentaries, why being competent is a curse and much more…
