Hot and Bothered

Ever wondered why certain regional pronunciations can spark heated debates? This week on the Anne Levine Show, co-hosted by Michael Over There, we dive into the amusing quirks of Hassid fashion in Sullivan County, the linguistic peculiarities of Nevada (or Novato), and our current obsessions with “The Bear” and the Handsome Podcast. From hot, humid evenings to the dry heat of the desert, our tangents are humorously unpredictable. We even throw in some film recommendations with “Daddy-O” and “Janet Planet,” adding a dash of pop culture to your listening pleasure.

Next, we swap tennis shoes for the sleek styles of Wimbledon and the practicalities of Djokovic’s knee brace. Ever curious about the behind-the-scenes life of ball boys and girls? We’ve got you covered with anecdotes about their discipline and the retro Ralph Lauren uniforms that bring a classic touch to the tournament. And for those with a penchant for nostalgia, we’ll compare these iconic looks to past tournament outfits. We also share a laugh over the exaggerated security measures and the curious case of Costco’s toilet paper frenzy during the pandemic, leading to a charming Fourth of July spent at the Old Yarmouth Inn.

Our final stretch includes an eclectic mix of political chit-chat, eccentric museum finds like Arizona’s Poo-seum, and reflections on American peculiarity. We wrap up with tales of Secret Spy Chickens™, heartfelt tributes to family milestones, and the uplifting power of music from artists like Earth, Wind & Fire. Plus, we can’t resist a humorous nod to the quirks of everyday habits. This episode is a rollercoaster of laughs, reflections, and unexpected twists (meaning we wander a lot), making it a must-listen for anyone in need of a good chuckle or haters worldwide. Either way, we’re glad you’re listening.
