In this episode, Rivers and Sam are hangin' at Disgraceland Studios with TWO amazing comedians: Jordan Morris and Joe Kaye! We start this one off by paying tribute to the late great girl group badass, Mary Weiss of the Shangri-Las. We test out a new flavor of Ghost called "Strawbango Margarita" and talk about the fact that their weirdo CEO is going around telling everyone that he sleeps with his blinds open. Rivers shares the story of "Life at Sea" a proposed 3 year-long cruise that accepted millions of dollars from passengers. Just one problem: They didn't actually have a boat. We go through Top 3 time machine destinations and Top 3 people and things from our respective home states. "No Rain" by Blind Melon is our JAM OF THE WEEK. Be the "leader of the pack" and press play now, y'all. Follow Joe Kaye on all forms of social media @JoeCharlesKaye.

The Daily Signal - Taiwan Elected a New President. He Faces Big China Challenges
Taiwan’s new president has his work cut out for him, Michael Cunningham says.
“He’s not in an easy position,” Cunningham, a research fellow in the Asian Studies Center of The Heritage Foundation, says of President-elect Lai Ching-te. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)
“Beijing deeply distrusts” the political party Lai is a member of because China’s leaders think that party is “intent on seeking formal independence from China,” Cunningham says. While it’s likely Lai will maintain the status quo and not seek formal independence from China, Cunningham predicts China will continue applying pressure to Taiwan.
During his presidency, Lai, 64, is “probably going to have to constantly be responding to provocations by Beijing,” he said. Lai, currently vice president, takes office May 20.
Cunningham was in Taiwan during the election on Jan. 13 and joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why Taiwan’s freedom directly affects America. He also explains why he thinks it’s unlikely China will launch a full-scale invasion of Taiwan anytime in the near future.
Enjoy the show!

Slate Books - How To!: Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art
Andrew snores so badly that his cats won’t sleep in the same room as him. He’s desperate to sleep better at night, and breathe more easily during the day. On this episode of How To!, we bring on James Nestor, author of Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, to share the history of why we breathe the way we do. Turns out being a “mouth-breather” is more than just an insult, it’s harmful to our health. James gives Andrew some nasal breathing exercises to improve his snoring, anxiety, and overall wellness.

NPR's Book of the Day - Efrén C. Olivares’ memoir recounts family separations at the border
Efrén C. Olivares is a human rights lawyer – and he tells Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes that some of the toughest conversations he's ever had were during Trump-era family separations, when he had to tell the parents he was representing in South Texas that he wasn't sure when or where they'd see their children again. His new book, My Boy Will Die of Sorrow, is a firsthand account of the human impacts of anti-immigration policy at the border, told alongside Olivares' own experience immigrating to the U.S. from Mexico as a young teen.
