Natalie Portman called in to say she dreams of owning a pig, but there's one problem: wild boars in France will mate with domestic pigs and create a dangerous hybrid. So it's illegal where she rents. Responsible pig parenting has never sounded so extreme.

Natalie Portman joins live from outside the US to introduce Lena Dunham with glowing praise: she calls Lena one of the best, if not the best, director she has worked with, citing a remarkable capacity for specific compliments alongside precise notes, and an energy of generosity toward every person on set that left Natalie wondering how she sustained it all day. The conversation wanders delightfully — through summer bobs, Amy's theory about large head size predicting career success, and Natalie's well-known SNL rap — before landing on Natalie's burning question for Lena: what is the best pig to adopt? Natalie reveals she dreams of owning a pig but is legally blocked in her current French location because wild boars in the area would mate with domestic pigs, creating a dangerous and illegal hybrid. It is, Amy notes, not the obstacle she expected.
Natalie Portman says Lena Dunham is one of the best directors she has ever worked with, citing her uncanny ability to give specific, detailed compliments alongside precise notes — and the energy and generosity she brings to every person on set, every single day.
Robby Hoffman has never bought a depreciating car. She flipped a $3,600 Toyota Corolla into a $6,000 sale, used that for a Cayman, flipped it for $18,000, and bought her dream 2001 Porsche 911 for a net $10,000.
Ryan carries the Sig P365 for daily carry and a suppressed .300 Blackout rifle at home — specifically because green-tip .223 flies through human bodies and walls, risking his kids' rooms. Strickland carries the Sig P365 AXG and a PSA AR-15 in .223. They debate why .300 Blackout matters for home defense and mock Staccato owners in equal measure.
Bobby never checks a bag — for any trip, including Australia. His secret: one pair of raw denim jeans (to develop a fade), sardine cans as in-flight snacks, and a Klingon hunting knife on his keychain. Andrew questions everything. Jimmy suggests he just check a bag for two weeks.
The crew drafts their Mount Rushmore of spoon foods. Ice cream goes first overall, soup goes second, and PFT shockingly passes on cereal to take gelato (then mashed potatoes), letting Hank and Zach steal cereal in the third round — a mistake PFT immediately regrets.
At 14, Achatz's father bought a disassembled 1970 GTO for $1,400 and spent two years rebuilding it with his son using the factory manual. The project taught Grant hands-on problem-solving — the same obsessive attention to how things are put together that would later define his kitchen.
A brief promo for Points North, an NPR Network podcast from Interlochen Public Radio featuring immersive stories about the natural world around the Great Lakes.
Sony stopping physical disc production sounds alarming, but Patrick Beja points to PC gaming as the test case: the platform went fully digital via Steam, the used game market disappeared, and yet games are cheaper in real terms than they were 20 years ago thanks to constant sales. The real fight should be for digital consumer rights, not physical media.
Richard recommends Monopoly Deal (the card game version of Monopoly, faster and nastier) and Wilkie Collins's Victorian novel 'No Name', which he says is ripe for a TV adaptation. Marina recommends live tournament football — the only thing on her mind after 1 hour's sleep.
The Campaign for North Africa board game takes roughly 20 years to complete at a reasonable pace, and no one has ever actually finished it. Pierre already knows the Italian forces need extra water for pasta, which is technically accurate to the rules.
