In today’s episode of The Slime Show, I record the first-ever video segment of the podcast and just hang out, talk life, and check in with the cats on a rainy day.
I start things off with some exciting news: The Slime Show is officially ranking on Goodpods, including breaking into the Top 10 Personal Journals weekly chart. Thank you to everyone listening and supporting the show.
From there, it’s a classic Slime Show stream-of-consciousness episode — cats lounging around the room, being tired after 10 hours of sleep, a sore tongue, candy snacks, and random everyday thoughts. I also talk about Netflix cracking down on account sharing and why my dad won’t let me use his account.
After the video portion ends, the audio-only part of the episode continues with music, politics, and current events. I play and talk about “When I Get My Hands On You” by The New Basement Tapes, a song originally written by Bob Dylan during the 1967 Basement Tapes era.
I also talk about going down a mini rabbit hole watching old Barack Obama videos, talk about him being such a powerful speaker, and reflect on how different leadership felt during that time.
To wrap things up, I react to a local article claiming Santa Rosa is the safest city in California, share why I’m skeptical of the ranking, and then dive into international news — including the situation in Venezuela, U.S. imperialism in the Western Hemisphere, and a New York Times article discussing Trump’s comments on Venezuela, Colombia, and the so-called “Donroe Doctrine.”
As always, this episode is part personal journal, part media commentary, and part just hanging out.
