About this episode

The episode explores the appeal of cars as personal spaces, the struggle between sleep and socializing, and shares personal anecdotes from Palo Alto.

Is your car your happy place? You're definitely not alone. Today we dive into why so many Americans love hanging out behind the wheel, why sleep is officially winning the battle against socializing, and Marcus shares stories from his latest adventure in Palo Alto. Equal parts relatable, slightly unhinged, and very Bay Area. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
