About this episode
The episode explores The New York Times' reinvention, discusses The Birthday Paradox, and concludes with a conversation about at-home prostate exams.
In this episode, the boys learn how The New York Times reinvented itself, get their minds blown by The Birthday Paradox, rant a little as befits their curmudgeonly state, and–oh yeah–end on a fascinating, intellectual discussion of at-home prostate exams. We’d say “dive in” but maybe that’s a little too much.
