or ballad?

I think song's a little too general.

TikTok short.

I think that's what Anthropic's next model is going to be.

You should put some money on that.

Okay, next up, the astronauts on Artemis II became household names when they completed their awe-inspiring journey around the moon earlier this year.

NASA just picked the next crop of space cowboys who will help bring humans even closer to the lunar surface.

Yesterday, the space agency announced Randy Bresnik, Luca Parmitano, Frank Rubio, and Andre Douglas as the four-person crew for Artemis III, set to launch next year.

These fellas won't be landing on the moon, but they'll be setting the stage for it by testing crucial systems like attempting to dock with lunar landers built by SpaceX and Blue Origin.

If all goes well, as it did for Artemis 2, NASA hopes to land the next batch of astronauts on the moon by 2028.

Finally, we close every Wednesday show with Suggestion Box, where Toby and I each share a life recommendation to help you get over the hump this week.

Toby, what do you got?

My rec is earplugs to protect your hearing during concert season.

Seeing your favorite artist this summer is gonna be an incredible experience, but it's also going to be a loud one.

The sound at concerts regularly tops 85 decibels, the threshold at which sustained exposure can damage your hearing down the road.

Luckily, there is a solution, earplugs.

And it seems like people are catching on.

I've seen them more and more at shows over the years, worn most frequently by festival veterans.

Earplugs won't ruin the vibe by muffling the sound or stifling it too much.

They basically just make things a bit quieter, especially if you know which ones to get.
