Transcript
Hello, homies, and welcome to another episode of Easily Entertained. I'm your host, your dutiful pop culture sherpa, your loyal, loving, uh I'm your host here. Welcome to the show, you guys. Somehow we have been hurdled. Somehow. We have been thrust into the third week of January. Of 2024, and I'm telling you, I'm convinced that whoever's up there currently in control of the simulation has fallen fast asleep on the fast forward button or something.
It's definitely not that I'm getting older
