Did you know that there's an online cannabis company that ships federally legal THC right to your door?
I'm talking about mood.com. They have an incredible line of cannabis dummies and a lot more.
And you can get 20% off your first order at mood.com with promo code Weirdest.
It's third party lab tested and ships directly to you in a discreet box.
Best of all, everything's backed by Mood's 100-day satisfaction guarantee.
And like I said, you can get 20% off with code Weirdest.
So if you're looking to try some new cannabis products, head on over to mood.com.
Get 20% off your first order now with code Weirdest.
That's code Weirdest for 20% off.
You said this place was steps from the water.
We just haven't found the steps yet.
How much did we save?
Enough.
Enough to get lost.
Or you could book a stay with Hilton.
Welcome to your ocean front room.
Just steps from the water.
The Hilton sale is on now.
Book on Hilton.com or The Hilton.
Hilton app and save up to 20% to get the stay you expected. When you want savings, not surprises.
It matters where you stay. Hilton, for the stay. Hey, weirdos. Rachel here with a quick mid-hiatus
announcement. I've got a couple important updates to share. First, I wanted to take a second to let you know
that my first book is coming out on Tuesday, May 17th. It's called Been There, Done That, a rousing
history of sex. And if you like weirdest thing, I promise you're going to love it. It's got strange
facts just absolutely out the wazoo. Even Bill Nye liked it. And there's an audiobook narrated by
yours truly. It probably goes without saying that I'm hoping you'll pick up a copy, which you can do
wherever you like to buy books. But more importantly, I'd love to see some weirdos at my book tour events.
I'll be at the Strand in New York City to celebrate the launch on May 17th, where I'll be joined in conversation
with Friend of the Pod Ariel Duame Ross from Vice.
Tickets are just $5,
and you can even order a signed copy of my book
while you're signing up for the event.
I'll also be doing a super intimate event at Word,
my favorite local bookstore in Jersey City,
which is on Thursday, May 19th.
That one is free, but space is extremely limited,
so it's important that you sign up if you want to join us.
If you're not in the New York City area,
you can still hop on to one of my virtual events.
I'll be streaming with Copperfields in California
on Wednesday, May 18th, and again with Northshire Bookstore in Vermont on May 26.
You can find more info and sign up links at my website, Rachel Feltman.com.
That's r-a-c-ch-E-L-F-E-L-T-M-A-N.com.
It would mean the world to me to see some of you there.
Okay, now that my embarrassing but necessary self-promo is out of the way,
here's the other news.
We'll be dropping back into your feed on May 18th with a,
special bonus episode of the weirdest thing I learned this week. We're celebrating Popular
Sciences 150th anniversary. I know, we don't look a day over 80. We get that all the time.
To mark the occasion, we dove back into Popsize archives to find some of the most bizarre
stories this storied publication has ever told. It's going to be lots of fun, so don't forget to
tune in. All right, let's review. First, head over to rachelthaltman.com to snag a copy of my book,
and, more importantly, to snag a virtual or actual seat for one of the events on my brief little book tour,
which kicks off on May 17th.
Second, keep an eye out for fantabulous, old-timey, weirdest thing content in your feed on May 18.
Thanks for listening, Weirdos. See you soon.
