Aging

This week Tom turns another year older. We explore the history of birthday parties (a surprisingly recent invention born of 19th century consumerism), the decades-long legal battle over who owned "Happy Birthday to You," and the unsettling data showing you're more likely to die on your birthday. Also: the latest update to the Meet the Parents’ franchise. For full-length weekly bonus episodes check out the TCGTE Patreon! Like the show? Rate Us on Apple Podcasts Hosted on Acast.
