Episode Date: February 12, 2025

Welcome (back) to How To Do Everything's "study break". This Friday at 12 PM CT, we will drop a Zoom link in this Google document. We use the same Google doc, so bookmark it if you would like. The first 10 (or 11?) people in the waiting room will be welcomed in, and we'll all hang out.You can bring "how to" questions, you can bring fun facts about yourself, you can bring spirited debates. But if you try to argue that the cheese curd is a superior form of the mozzarella stick, Heena may blacklist you.See you soon!Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

At the Super Bowl halftime show, Kendrick Lamar indeed performed his smash diss track Not Like Us and brought out Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams, and SZA. We're recapping the Super Bowl, including why we saw so many celebrities in commercials this year. Listen to the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast from NPR. Hey, everybody. It's Ian. Hina is here, too.

Hey, everyone. We still Ian. Heena is here too. Hey, everyone. We still have no idea where Mike is. If you hear from him, please either let us know or welcome him into your home as part of your family. A couple of weeks ago, we did our first How to Do Everything study break. What we did was we posted a Zoom link on Friday and the first 10 of you who clicked it were in and we had such a fun random conversation. Hina actually kind of messed up and accidentally let in 11 people, which I think only made things better.

The more the merrier, I guess. I'm sorry everyone, but you're welcome. It was not a mistake. It was a serendipitous discovery. So this week we will be doing it again and we will be deliberately letting in 11 of you. So watch this space in the show notes of this very episode you listen to now. You will see a Google Doc and in that Google Doc at 12 p.m. Central 1 p.m. Eastern on Friday. A Zoom link will appear in that Google Doc.

If you're one of the first 11 people to click that Zoom link, you will end up in a Zoom call with us, Mike, Ian, and I, and you can bring your how-to questions, you can bring nothing at all, you can bring debates for everyone. Last time we had a spirited debate about how to eat mozzarella sticks that left us all feeling both disgusted and hungry at the same time.

Clayton, I disagree with you vehemently. Cheese curds are not an upgraded mozzarella stick. That's apples to oranges, but it's fine. I forgive you. Clayton, I frankly saw your point and I think, yeah, I welcomed your comments. Ian, what happened to Solidarity? Once again, check the Google Doc in the show notes of this very episode

and at 12 p.m. Central, one p.m. Eastern, this Friday, a Zoom link will appear. The first 11 of you there will hang out with us and I'm gonna to be honest. I can't wait.
