About this listen

This week on Nate Knows Nothing, I recap a Mother’s Day weekend that included my mom and my mother-in-law watching me do stand-up, so, no pressure there.

Meanwhile, teenagers are lighting Chromebooks on fire in school bathrooms as part of the viral #ChromebookChallenge, because nothing says “future leaders” like burning laptops for clout.

Over in the sports world, Chelsea’s Cole Palmer thinks 100 versions of himself could beat up a gorilla if enough of them die first. Makes sense. One guy discovered grass growing out of his bedroom carpet, thanks to some birdseed, a space heater, and what I can only assume is a cursed lease.

In New York, a man has turned himself into a human rug and invites strangers to walk on him. Performance art or untreated trauma? You decide. Finally, a woman’s bad day turned around when a stranger pulled up next to her at a stoplight and introduced her to his fashion-forward baby goats wearing Burberry harnesses.

It’s a weird one this week. Dumber than usual, in all the best ways.
