BEST OF: Big Gulps, Bigger Houses & the Happiness Trap | Ep. 98 | Wyatt Matters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week on Wyatt Matters , we’re revisiting one of our favorite conversations about something almost everyone is chasing: happiness . It starts with thousands of European World Cup visitors getting their first real taste of America—and discovering that everything really is bigger here. Free refills. Giant portions. Costco samples. Ice-cold air conditioning. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently: heartburn, summer colds, and a few unexpected pounds. Then the crew turns to a wealthy couple li
A Birthday Invite Disaster, 1,000 Strangers Eating Apples, and The Atheist Who Pretended God Was Real | Ep. 97 | Wyatt Matters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One accidental click sends a child’s birthday invitation to everyone in her mom’s phone, including coworkers, exes, former students, and people she probably never wanted to see again. Meanwhile, another invitation asking strangers to simply “eat an apple with me” somehow draws around a thousand people together for five minutes of what its organizer calls “silly joy.” Then Steve introduces Brian Guan, a former atheist who sets out to test faith in an unusual way: live for 30 days as though God ac

Read excerpt
This week starts with people getting stuck in places they definitely shouldn’t be, including one Mountain Dew fan’s disastrous trip into a porta potty and an enormous cat whose great escape doesn’t go according to plan. It’s funny until the conversation turns to the kinds of situations where getting unstuck isn’t nearly so simple. Steve shares how loss, cancer, kidney failure, and the death of his daughter shaped what he has learned about facing seemingly impossible circumstances. The cast gets
Poop Pills, Fish Homicide, and The Problem With Trying to Be Perfect | Ep. 94 | Wyatt Matters (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week’s show starts with a sleep remedy nobody asked for: scientists are testing capsules made from donated fecal material as a treatment for chronic insomnia. Yes, poop pills. And yes, Steve and the crew have questions. Then, a 76-year-old man loses sleep over the noise coming from his neighbor’s koi pond. The fish themselves are silent, but his battle with the pond takes a turn nobody saw coming and somehow ends with what Steve calls “fish homicide.” From there, Steve gets personal about h
