This is a HeadGum Podcast. why I am so thrilled that Bokksu, a Japanese snack subscription box, chose to sponsor this episode. What's gotten me so excited about Bokksu is that these aren't just your run-of-the-mill grocery store finds. Each box comes packed with 20 unique snacks that you can only find in Japan itself. Plus, they throw in a handy guide filled with info about each snack and about Japanese culture. And let me tell you something, you are going to need that guide because this box comes with a lot of snacks. I just got this one today direct from Bokksu. And look at all of these things. We got some sort of seaweed snack here. We've got a buttercream cookie.

We've got a dolce. I don't I'm going to have to read the guide to figure out what this one is. It looks like some sort of sponge cake. Oh, my gosh. This one is I think it's some kind of maybe fried banana chip. Let's try it out and see. Is that what it is? Nope. It's not banana. Maybe it's a cassava potato chip. I should have read the guide. Ah, here they are. Iburigako smoky chips. Potato chips made with rice flour, providing a lighter texture and satisfying crunch. Oh my gosh. This is so much fun. You got to get one of these for themselves and get this for the

month of March. Bokksu has a limited edition cherry blossom box and 12 month subscribers get a free kimono style robe and get this while you're wearing your new duds, learning fascinating things about your tasty snacks.

Hello, everyone. I am Adam Conover. You might know me from my show, Adam Ruins Everything. But now I'm going deeper as the host of the new show, Factually, coming to Earwolf on May 29th. Factually is a podcast where I interview exceptional experts to reveal shocking truths and thought provoking new perspectives from around the world of human knowledge. We dive in with everyone from professors to Pulitzer Prize winners about topics like transportation. So this is not a secret, but our friend Elon Musk was talking about, you know,

how he will handle this concept of induced demand. Well, you create this open place for cars to go. Isn't it just going to fill up with traffic? Look at the 405. And he said, for cars to go? Isn't it just going to fill up with traffic? Look at the 405. And he said, I think induced demand is a red herring. Like, it's not a red herring, homie. It's science.

Guns and the Constitution. In the founding era, remember, they didn't have police. They didn't have a standing army. They were constantly threatened from foreign countries, the hostile natives. You know, people had to call forth the militia, part of your militia. If you're a young strapping age, Adam, not my old age, you'd be a member of the militia and you'd be called out on a regular basis. I would be the worst militia member. I would be way in the back dragging my feet. I don't know. I don't want to shoot anybody. That's okay. The guns then were so highly inaccurate. Big tech. People say, well, Amazon and Facebook, they're amazing products,

but we don't know what we're missing. There's hundreds of companies that just aren't getting started in these spaces because, I mean, Google and YouTube are coordinating and cooperating. Imagine if we broke them up, they're going to have to pay more for cool content like yours,

which probably isn't a bad thing. Topics like sleep, poverty, trans issues in the military, the environment, and more. And you know, I do my best to make it funny. It's an investigative comedy podcast for curious people who never stop asking questions. So go on, subscribe now to Factually with me, Adam Conover, premiering Wednesday, May 29th on Earwolf. Hey, this is Arnie Niekamp from the Improv Fantasy Podcast, Hello from the Magic Tavern. I fell through a dimensional portal behind a Burger King in Chicago into the magical land of Foon, and I started a podcast. Season three has just begun with a brand new adventure to defeat the Dark Lord.

If you're a new listener or you've fallen behind, season three is a great jumping on point, and we've got great guests like Justin McElroy. I sound like a fancy college professor. Take that. Rachel Bloom. You all see my collection of men corpses and one woman. Felicia Day and Colton Dunn. You've seen me have intercourse with a variety of species.

It's a bummer. Andy Daly. You have the members of Genesis listed, but Phil Collins has crossed out and then circled and crossed out again. Yes, I have killed Phil Collins twice. Thomas Middleditch. Jesus! I mean Jaws! Ruler of

the Eighth Circle. And that's just the beginning. Season 3 of Hello from the Magic Tavern is out now. Listen in Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. That was a HeadGum Podcast.
