What's Flying with Victor Dweck

Victor returns from sitting in Jewish holiday huts to report that Kentucky's Human Hair Museum is closing after 68 years, which he assumes means the serial killer owner died before getting caught. He celebrates the IRS being 50% shut down ('40,000 employees furloughed and there's still 40,000 left?'), questions why iPhone needs three creepy alien-looking lenses when no one's doing desert photo shoots at 600 feet, and discovers female rappers who rap about squirting and violence exist somewhere in real life.

Victor returns from his Yom Kippur fast to tackle the week's dumbest corporate decision: Maxwell House changing its name to Maxwell Apartment because more people rent now. He rants about smelly cheese being a gateway to societal collapse ('enjoy me even if I smell'), confirms Instagram definitely listens to our conversations despite Adam Mosseri's denials, and questions why Avatar 2's graphics are supposedly so incredible when it's just one computer program.

Victor's getting ready for Yom Kippur by making his scroll of sins (it's long), questions why there's no holiday for listing your good deeds, and wonders if he's accidentally arguing that Judaism is a cult. He breaks down Ricky Gervais's atheism argument, demands intermissions at movies return, and investigates the economics of "free refills" that nobody actually gets.

Victor returns from Jewish holidays with Constantino to discuss Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime announcement. Constantino explains why Bad Bunny is basically god-tier in the reggaeton world while Victor asks the important questions: Could Constantino resist if Bad Bunny made a move? Why do women do all the work in reggaeton dancing? And is Bad Bunny appropriating rabbit culture?

Victor welcomes comedian Ty Marsh to discuss a Montana woman's $97,000 arm surgery bill. Some major medical questions are answered: Is there actually a point to elbows? Could whiskey bottles replace certain medical equipment? And why do dentists make Ty feel things he shouldn't feel in a professional setting?

Plus: Fred Durst's role in destroying Woodstock, why Ty's wisdom teeth are staying put after six years of threats, and whether Montana's entire medical system is just four guys in a van.

Victor celebrates Friday by demanding the Game of Thrones showrunners serve eight years in prison (one for each season they ruined), then pivots to his new Japanese pen that he won't stop clicking. He discovers Jimmy Kimmel's Karl Malone impression was basically a minstrel show, proposes a new reality show called 'To Catch a Furry' set in FAO Schwarz, and questions why ASMR creators get millions of views for making mouth noises.

Victor tackles the Jimmy Kimmel cancellation controversy with a hot take: presidents should pressure networks to bring back good shows and jail artists who make bad albums. Plus: dating app horror stories including women fishing for money and random dudes appearing in the straight section, the pitch-black theater experience at Spinal Tap 2, and why eating too many almonds might be affecting his judgment.

For the streak

Victor and Davey huddle around one mic to discuss Davey's wild theory that anesthesia is basically legal fentanyl. Davey shares his friend's life philosophy about embracing the four-second high before surgery, reveals the secret to getting the good stuff (cry about pain, don't mention excitement), and explains why his doctor literally told him 'this is the one time you're allowed to enjoy drugs.'

Victor returns after a 5-day break following the tragic loss of Charlie Kirk, sharing a personal memory from meeting him at a 2018 dinner. He then shifts to lighter topics: his new water-drinking regimen that keeps him in the bathroom all day, the mistake of buying white LED lights instead of warm yellow ones, and his discovery that turning your iPhone to black-and-white mode kills the addiction.
