I would like to say that Rod saved my life through his promotion of fitness and a healthy attitude towards long-term personal health. Thank you Rod!
Regarding the poll question, not only no, but hell no.
I’m not watching the game but I will be watching the half-time show!
I can’t blame you for deleting tik tok. It’s not for everyone. I deleted Twitter so I totally get it. But would you please consider doing the coon countdown on another platform or even on the show sometime this month? It’s so funny and I look forward to it every black history, plus if you did it on the show it may introduce some of the listeners who may not have had tik tok or Instagram to this. I could even imagine having one of our favorite comedians coming on the show to add commentary like Brandon Collin’s or Shalaywa Sharpe or Chris Lambert. I bet that episode would be as epic as the annual bullet ball episode.
Or Justin could be a guest. It’s always great when he’s on the show
Now that Karen mentioned menopause I feel the need to mention something.
I was to the gynecologist this week and asked her about it because all the algorithms are yelling menopause at me. She said: Apia, you are not even in pre menopause yet. That’s why you don’t feel anything. I asked: is this even allowed at 47? She said: yes it is. Congrats and you need a new IUD.
I was honestly confused that this was an option. So the female body can have some years of just existing and my mood swings are just my character? good to know.
Ah shoot…important context…this was a small group chat of individuals I know and respect IRL, not an online group of random which is the only reason I said anything. The last time I argued with someone I didn’t know online is when that one chick who didn’t listen to the show tried to come for y’all!
I was thinking now about things I like better in the US than at home or what I think is better.
I came up with some stuff:
Build in closets. We don’t really have them.
The national parks were pretty great. Our canyons are way smaller. Also I enjoyed some fast food we don’t really have here.
And some culture. You podcast is pretty great for example. Otherwise you could also say , lower income tax. But this is just a trick. For most people it’s worse, because for example child care or medical bills are higher.
And other taxes are higher in America, like property taxes.
While lots of things are bad, the ozone layer is healing Karen, for real! Pretty sure you will not want to believe it, but it’s true. Check it out. Because it’s good news, we never hear about it.

People stopped with the bad gases and it helped. Surprise !
