Buckle in, kiddos, we have another marathon episode. This week, Michael is back from vacation, and our hosts have A LOT to say (yes, even Jasmine) because there is some catching up to do! Jasmine fills us in on the L.A. Times Book Festival, and Michael gushes about his Orlando adventure.
Seriously, the smiles segment takes up about half of the episode—but they are worth it!
Michael talks Marvel (reminder, “Ironheart” premieres on Disney+ on June 24th), grandma activities, and Epic Universe. Jasmine talks about axolotls, Taco Bell, and seals.
The Wheel of Topics makes Michael utilize that explicit label on the podcast (mouth like a sailor, that one). Jasmine brings us back down to a more calm tone, as she is wont to do.
Grab your complimentary waters and Tate’s cookies because this episode is almost as long as Michael’s wait on the tarmac!
