Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but you know. Tired and sick.
Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, we help make you funnier. On this episode, my guests Bob Odenkirk and Kids in the Halls Bruce McCullough try and help the Kazoo Kid and Tazon Day be famous again. What if there's an alternate universe show where you guys are incredibly popular? Well, and they could travel up the land doing meet and greets. They're constantly needed at malls. Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Every family has its secrets. But what happens when you discover that your dad has been living a double life? That is not the look of an innocent man. Is everyone lying to me about who they are? I felt such desperation. I felt it was what I had to do.
Listen to Deep Cover, The Family Man on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Here's something that should not be as complicated as it is, getting a racist statue removed. And here's something that should be a whole lot easier than it is, getting a new one put up in its place. I'm Akilah Hughes, and Rebel Spirit Season 2 is about both of those things.
As I was watching these statues come down, I was thinking about what it meant that I grew up in a majority Black city, in which there were more homages to enslavers than there were to enslaved people.

Hey, I'm Dr. Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast, A Slight Change of Plans, a show about who we are and who we become when life makes other plans.
I wish that I hadn't resisted for so long the need to change.
We have to be willing to live with a kind of uncertainty that none of us likes. You can have opinions. You can have like a strong stance. And then there's your body having its own program.

For most of life's big milestone moments, there's an appropriate gift that usually goes with it. It's Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Like for an engagement, you'll get a ring and some champagne. For a retirement, you get a gold watch and more champagne. Oh, more booze. Even here? Yeah. For a baby announcement, you get 47 matching onesies and a bottle of non-alcoholic champagne.
Hey, that's called apple juice.
Yeah, apple cider. But what's the traditional gift you give to a new graduate? Oh, that Dr. Seuss book? Money. Oh, yeah. It says you'll go, and then again, the apple cider. Right. I don't know if there really is one. Maybe, like Jose said, money. Yeah, money's the best thing to do. A blank form to file for unemployment. Yeah. I think I got a popcorn maker for some reason. Huh. Like, this is not it. You're going to be eating a lot of popcorn after college.
Parents really know you.
During college, yeah. Obviously, people don't know what to get for students that are embarking on their next phase of life. And I say that because a list just came out from a popular publication of the strangest and just different graduation gifts that outgoing students ever received. Ooh, this is good. Like this first one, a couple parents promised their son named Houston that they'd give him two grand in cash if he graduated high school. Whoa, okay. Dang, that's incentive. But when he got his diploma, they sat him down and said, sorry, son, we don't have the money right now. Oh. Because we spent it all on getting you a billboard out by the highway with your picture on it.
