A childhood parking lot joke spirals into a broader reflection on what fame used to mean (and what it means now). From the era of larger-than-life movie stars to the rise of viral fame built on moments that require little more than timing, this episode considers how celebrity culture has shifted. There’s a difference between work that lasts and content meant to evaporate, and that difference says something about what we value. At the center is a quiet question: are we rewarding the right things?
