Derek Thompson: Winning Without Anger

Derek Thompson: Winning Without Anger

Plus, the dangers of the coming AI wave, Ozempic may be one of the most astonishing medical breakthroughs in the last 100 years, and would shortening the NBA season reduce player injuries?

Derek Thompson joins Tim Miller.
