This week, we recount our adventures at Comedy Camp in Los Angeles and the amazing performers we met. Kristi reads the financial pages, and we discover that  Novo Nordisk is now worth more than Tesla. We discuss the surprising economics of both Viagra and high-priced escorts. Now we're officially "launched", we ponder what it takes to start a podcast, what motivates podcasters, and how they can help to reestablish trust in media.
