Alright, friends, it's yours truly, Levi, and I am back in the saddle for this wild ride of episode 158. In it, first up we have Trump once again spiraling out after his most recent debate disaster, throwing out insane conspiracy theories; this one is about people in Springfield, Ohio, eating cats and dogs. Yes, you heard it right. The dude is on another tear, saying things that would be ill-advised to put on your Facebook wall, never mind a live television program. We get into the weeds, breaking down how this rumor took a life of its own, and also, why JD Vance thought this was a great idea to pass on some nonsense with Trump.

And if that's not all, we delve into the drama of the Super Bowl Halftime show announcement: Kendrick Lamar? Really? I break down why this choice has left so many of us scratching our heads and what it could spell out for the show. Will he drop a new album just to give us something fresh? Who knows! But one thing's for sure: If I hear "Not Like Us" more than once, I'll be shipping LuBug off to Ohio (just kidding, LuBug, you're safe!). And while speaking of wild rumors, could it really happen that Taylor Swift is a surprise guest? Doubtful, but hey, it's all a possibility in this world of insanity.

Touch on legends including Lil Wayne and his reaction to not getting picked for the Super Bowl show in his hometown. We spoil it: he is not happy and neither is Birdman. I break down why Lil Wayne's features could have made him the perfect pick, and what it says about the music business now.

Oh, and did I mention the latest product drop from Trump? Just when you thought it couldn't get any crazier, we now have Trumptastic Trout: the animatronic talking fish that's going to make your next fishing trip, or political rally, really stand out. This thing's ridiculous, and of course, I'm all over it.

Lastly, I take some potshots at the most recent Gen Z trend—drunk alter-egos. What's the deal with suddenly everyone having a different name when they've had one too many? JoJo Siwa becomes "Radical Rick," Haley Welch turns into "Harley," but this means very little for the rest of us. Probably not, but it sure is fun to talk about.

All that and more in this jam-packed episode. Hit play, grab some popcorn, and let's journey together through the ridiculousness of it all. And don't forget to comment, saying sorry to Raygun, the number one breakdancer in the world, or she'll just turn up in your bedroom at 3 AM with her entire dance crew. What are we doing?
