Mark Zuckerberg joins Theo Von to talk about his daring journey from robot freak to relatable everyman. Later in the show, Ryan and Ben confront their vices, trying to kick nicotine in a daring new bet with The Lunch Table; a dastardly guest crashes the show; Ryan recounts his worst back-alley Mormon hand job; and Ben desperately tries to recover his online bank account.

Welcome to the most hungover edition of Stop the Bit, featuring MyDaddySteve. Steve is a comedian known for his viral clips, but a lot of people don't know how destitute he was—before being given $20k and a Tesla ⁠on a whim⁠ . But enough of the sob story; we want to expose all the terrible things he's done with a little investigative journalism we like to call "Chum Shots." Of course, even with his horrific past, Steve surprised us by showing a more vulnerable side of himself: his dream of being a children's TV host on "Steven's Playroom." Very touching, very sweet, and a little heated at times.

This week, we've got Gus Johnson on the pod. We catch up—talk friends, family, and education—before veering wildly off course for our nature walk with Ranger Rick! Back in the studio, we ask: "can you separate the art from the artist?" But Ben's unemployed cousin crashes the show. After sharing meaningful career advice, Gus returns to regale us with his own bad job stories, leading us to wonder: What might it be like interning at NASA? Finally, what would YOU do with the remote control from "Click"?
