Katie breaks down the culture shock of leaving Denver—bedazzled jeans, expensive cowboy gear that's built to last, and saddles with jewels on them.They dig into small-town weirdness: how tight everyone is, people resisting change while needing it, and why there's nothing to do except knock each other up.Katie explores how immigration officers at Ellis Island changed people's last names from cool Scandinavian stuff to basic names like Smith, and how women lose their identity when they switch to their husband's name.Sam hunts down "Bum Farto" a serial killer who turned himself in because his ego made him go into way too much detail about his crimes.Katie throws in her coworker with the last name Dickout and talks about the Swenson name actually meaning something back home.====Unlimited for $5...

Season 13 kicks off with a new era for The Neverdaily. Co-host Chase has relocated to Texas, and stepping into the chair is Sam's sister, Katie — a veteran listener, a 12-year autodidact personal trainer, and a certified master mobility coach. Welcome, K-Dog (as the backdoor affectionately called her)!Katie rolls out a deep-dive on fascia — the connective spider-web tissue most people have never heard of. She lays out why your body works like a suspension bridge, not a machine; why stretching often targets the wrong structure; and how myofascial release clears 90% of what clients think requires a doctor.Katie prescribes the exact hydration formula most people are ignoring — half your body weight in ounces, with pink Himalayan salt added — and explains why pale yellow urine is the only gauge that matters. Clear pee means you've overshot; caffeine first thing means you started fasted and dehydrated.Katie unpacks PNF stretching (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation) — the science behind why your hamstrings won't move past R1 until a practitioner tricks your brain into latency, then takes the slack. She breaks down Golgi tendon organs, muscle spindles, and why flexibility is the wrong goal — mobility is.Sam fires a story about their brother Jake vibe-coding a full AI-powered pharmaceutical app from scratch with zero coding background — while Sam was still talking about building one. Launches into a broader riff on autodidacticism, why college gatekeeps talent it didn't create, and how AI is dissolving that gate faster than universities can react.Sam walks the story of Carl Bushby — the British soldier who set out in 1998 to walk the entire circumference of the Earth without vehicles, crossed the frozen Bering Strait on foot, got detained by Russian border guards, was deported, and has now logged 30,000+ miles across deserts, jungles, and Arctic ice — still not done, still not flying.====Unlimited for $5...

Sam lays out a full round of famous quotes that got cut in half: "seeing is believing," "great minds think alike," "blood is thicker than water," "Jack of all trades," and more, revealing what the original phrases actually said and why the missing half changes everything.

Chase digs up the Jack Hughes coincidence: the last man cut from the 1980 U.S. gold-medal hockey team shares the same name as the guy who just scored the overtime gold-medal winner in 2026.

Sam sounds off on Olympic athletes' grandstanding against their own countries, calls out Eileen Gu by name, and ties it to CCP spy operations on U.S. campuses.

Chase infects the episode with the full history of "tuberculosis chic," the 70-year Victorian trend where women corseted themselves into respiratory distress, poisoned their skin with arsenic powder, and hired actual dying women as art models to achieve the fashionable look of imminent death.

Sam unboxes the unhinged corporate empire of General Mills: cereal company buys Olive Garden, builds spy balloons, funds deep-sea submersibles, recovers a lost U.S. hydrogen bomb from the Mediterranean, accidentally discovers the Titanic while on a classified nuclear sub search, all before breakfast.====
