I'm Mike Volo from Lexicon Valley. What do you know about toast?

The word toast, he means. I'm Bob Garfield, and how much did you really understand that whole

six-seven meme? God help us. When Lexicon Valley, we dig into the etymology, history,

and usage of words and phrases that, for better or worse, define our lives.

With many unexpected stops along the way. Take toast. That journey goes from a public bath in England to the Ghostbusters franchise.

And six, seven, from the violent genre of drill rap to your middle schoolers math class.

Here for yourself on Lexicon Valley.

Wherever you go for podcasts, there we are.

Hello, hello, this is Fake the Nation, a podcast about news and culture, and a podcast about how sometimes the human condition can feel really dumb,

especially when that human subject is forced to watch the state of the union addressed. I'm your host, the King Farsat, and I suffer through Soto so you don't have to. We'll talk about that today. Plus, we'll talk about how baby boomers are dealing with dying. But don't worry, among the glum news, we'll also talk about the resurgence of iPods,

and we'll address perhaps the most controversial question of them all.

What is the best grocery store in America?

Today, I'm joined by such an incredible panel.
