The first work story of the day comes from @aitah: a man who brought his own $1,800 Herman Miller Aeron chair to a new sales job, had it stolen on his fourth day, was told by his boss that chairs are first-come-first-served, and escalated by calling the police. [1] — Morgan Absher "He brought his own $1,800 Herman Miller Aeron chair to a new job. Day 4 — stolen. The boss said chairs are first-come first-served. So he c…" 1:14:57 The thief admitted to the theft, and OP had his receipt with the serial number as proof. OP then pressed charges even when his boss threatened termination — and was fired on the spot, carrying his chair out as he left. The thief, a 15-year industry veteran, lost his security license. Morgan and Michaela initially side with OP over the terrible boss and brazen thief, but both conclude that pressing charges and destroying a career over a chair crossed a line. The segment sparks a listener call-out about whether office chair theft is a widespread phenomenon.
The 2026 Golden Globes introduced a Best Podcast category for the first time, and Amy Poehler won it after just 10 months of podcasting — beating out her ex-husband Will Arnett, who has co-hosted the massively popular Smartless for years. The internet had thoughts.

Morgan says if she'd met her partner Justin in college, it never would have worked — she wasn't ready. But Michaela pushes back: sometimes people manufacture reasons for 'wrong timing.' The debate is whether the universe gives you the right person at the wrong moment, or if missed timing just means they weren't the one.
A novel called 'Call Me, I'll Hide the Body' triggered a 14-publisher bidding war and sold for $2.4 million before critics alleged it was predominantly written by AI.
John Mulaney cold-texted Robby Hoffman out of nowhere to offer to produce her Netflix special, which became Wake Up.
Robby Hoffman posed as a courier to hand-deliver her spec script directly to the president of HBO Canada early in her career.
Robby and Mulaney filmed two shows in one night for the Netflix special; after the first they knew they had it, so the second was a victory lap.
Jimmy Carr performs up to 300 shows a year, often doing two shows per night, which he says reduces nerves rather than increasing them.
Jimmy Carr says that speaking at roughly 92 beats per minute is the optimal cadence for comedy and public speaking, including political speeches like Obama's.
The oldest recorded joke appears in a Roman book called 'The Lover of Laughter' and is still funny — a barber asking how a man wants his haircut, who replies 'in silence'.
Jimmy Carr argues that comedians like George Carlin, Richard Pryor, and Dave Chappelle have permanently expanded the conversational Overton window on sex, politics, and taboo topics.
