Shh! ASMR Isn't Real

Why do the American public and political leadership have a hard time taking the military seriously? On The Gist, we speak with James Fallows from the Atlantic about his recent feature "The Tragedy of the American Military." Plus, what's with all those ASMR videos on YouTube? Mike asks Maria Konnikova of the New Yorker about the hard-to-describe sensation for a game we call "Is That Bulls—t?" For the Spiel, we debut our new line of other NFL erotica.
