Houston we have a pod. Sure William Shattner going to space is cool. But you know whats even cooler, not going to Space as a hobby! What is this Avenue 5? Do you see Zach Woods up in this bitch?? To help us unpack these billionaire field trips to the upper troposphere we enlisted the help of our good friend Dan Munck! He's a legend and a music man thru and thru. We talk radio, we talk flannel sheets, artificial gravity and more! Rounding out the pod we play a rousing round of ICONIC / NOT ICONIC. Listen up kids!

If you see this pod CLICK ON IT! And if you see a Lantern Moth KILL IT! How often does the scientific community tell us to kill something? Not often folks! We have the incredible Air Durnell on the pod to unpack these lil bugs and find out what makes them tick. We talk Elvira, D&D, The Circle, invasive species, and of course briefly touch on Pennsylvania. After this field trip thru the ecosystems of the Tri-State area we play a rather rousing round of ICONIC / NOT ICONC. Listen up and straight culture beware! THANKS

Last call for Happy Hour listeners! This week on WOTS we go back to the bar for Happy Hour finally! It was scary but we made it. Joining us for a drink is a prolific comedian, musician, and Happy Hour critic, Steve Jeanty. Coming to us live from his friends apartment he is here to talk Bars baby. We hit important topics like is it fair that drinks cost $16? Where did Happy Hour come from? Were any Zoom Happy Hours fun? Is there really a bar in Bushwick called the Sea Witch? All these questions answered and a round of ICONIC / NOT ICONIC to top it all off.

So no one told you life was gonna be a dumpster fire? *quadruple clap* This week on WOTS we welcome the iconic Amara Eke to help us unpack the phenomenon that is the 90s sitcom ‘Friends’. It is a pillar of straight culture after all. Girl you KNOW we spend a lot of this episode talking about the Chromatica REMIX album and I would be remiss to neglect to mention that SHY GIRL will also be making an appearance on it. Girl we get into; we’re Ross and Rachel on a break? Does anybody give a fuck 20 years later? Do you like Chandler? How does The Office Compare in terms of straightness, impact, and funnyness? All this and a rousing round of ICONIC / NOT ICONIC awaits you my friends…

Podcasting is so cheugy! Apparently? Musician and comedian Brooks Allison (AKA Boy Brooks!) joined Sam and Joe for a deep analysis of this potentially fake viral phrase. Is anyone saying this? Or is it yet another weapon in the media war between Generations "Why?" and Z(ed), made up to fan flames and garner those ALL important clicks? Honestly who will ever know? And this will allllll blow over by the time anyone can figure out the origin. Listen up to hear our thoughts on the word of the moment: "Cheugy!" and we're not talkin about chompin on your karate uniform!

Girl what is that smell? Do you smell that? Spring can only mean ONE thing... the blossoming of the Pyrus Calleryana. You know that one tree with white flowers that smells liek c*m? Yeah that one. We're talking about it. Mhm. Because everyone else is TOO scared.
To do so we enlisted the help of reknown gay person Dylan Adler. We share foolish misgivings of hope for a great summer, escaping New York, lack of general respect, best plants, and play a rousing round of ICONIC / NOT ICONIC!
