Capt. Lou Albano Commercials & the Star Trek Holodeck

just hanging out, grocery haul

Summer has officially arrived, but host Bree is keeping it at a respectful distance. Broadcasting from a perfectly mild day in Santa Rosa, Bree discusses a Walmart grocery haul (featuring a Discord-induced pudding craving and a first-time trial of LMNT electrolytes). Plus, a look at a wholesome moment of band synergy as Connecticut indie-jam icons Goose tip their hats to Brooklyn art-rockers Geese, and an honest confession about the slippery slope of becoming a stereotypical, chicken-tender-worshipping air fryer evangelist. Grab your favorite beverage, get comfortable, and dive into this cozy 11-minute check-in.

Capt. Lou Albano Commercials & the Star Trek Holodeck

On this Sunday, June 21st episode, Bree is hanging out and diving into a little bit of everything. We start with a nostalgic trip down memory lane to Mahopac, NY, tracking down hilarious vintage commercials and hotlines from hometown wrestling legend Captain Lou Albano. Then, we've got a fresh music recommendation with the track "Good2B" by Norwalk's own jam band, Goose, before diving into the latest pop culture and tech headlines. We're talking about Rosie O’Donnell stepping up to guest-host Jimmy Kimmel Live, a Bavarian startup trying to make sustainable "chocolate" out of sunflower seeds (but can it really beat real cacao?), and a mind-blowing holographic breakthrough from UCLA that is bringing us one step closer to a real-life Star Trek Holodeck. Pull up a chair and kick off the summer with us!

Dog, Burrito, Mr. Socko, AI...

Grab a plastic bag and buckle up. On today’s episode, I’m recapping a jam-packed day: the absolute worst vegetarian burrito I’ve ever eaten, a mile-and-a-half walk, and the realities of confronting weight loss and GLP-1 fears. We also take a trip down memory lane to the time Mankind proved he was the wholesome legend we always knew he was. Finally, we get into the heavy stuff: a cold shoulder from Gemini, the endless curse of the John Stamos clickbait algorithm, and a breakdown of why humanity has essentially "grown" an AI organism it doesn't fully understand.

Cat Filters, Ham Radio, and the Wildest Marathon in History

It turns out the internet didn't invent weirdos—it just gave them a screen. This week, we dive headfirst into the delightfully bizarre subculture of late-night ham radio operators, where the airwaves of the 75-Meter Band feel like an unmoderated 1970s Reddit forum broadcasted out of a garage. We also break down a DIY audio disaster involving cat water fountain filters, trace the unexpected wartime roots of Electro-Voice microphones, and recap the legendary chaos of the 1904 Olympic Marathon (featuring stray dogs, rotten apples, and literal rat poison). Plus, we close with a sober look at the current headlines, tracking Ukraine's massive drone strikes on Moscow's energy infrastructure and the brutal realities of Russian intelligence tactics.

Pizza Psychopaths, Fast Food Power Rankings, & Space Telecoms

Summer is rapidly approaching, Gregg Allman is blasting, and Bree is officially questioning the psychological stability of anyone who doesn't have an opinion on pizza crust. From the massive 150% menu surge of Detroit-style industrial square pans to the actual data behind America's regional pizza wars, we break down why your food choices dictate your trustworthiness in society. Plus: a quick look at the best fast-food double cheeseburgers, and how SpaceX wants to buy T-Mobile.
