I think you can both feel for students who want to explore their sexuality and seek help and advice away from their parents, but you can also feel for parents who want to know what's going on in their lives of their kids.

And I think balancing those equities is super complicated.

Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for politically eclectics. I'm Robbie Gupta.

And I'm Ricky Schlaught.

Well, Ricky, I'm going to warn our audience because there's a howler monkey outside my window

who's occasionally groaning, which is what they do.

They howl.

Interesting.

You want to know a fun fact about howler monkeys? Sure. Let's hear it. So the males are the ones who are yelling, of course. They're the ones groaning. And the louder their voice, the smaller their testicles. This is actually something I had to look up because I thought it was just a, I thought it was just like an old wife's tale that people tell over here,

but then I looked it up and Science Magazine has a whole article about this.

Interesting.

It's kind of like the SUVs of the animal world.

And can you imitate what they sound like?

It sounds just like a roar.

No, I'm not going to do it.

But it's like a crazy roar. Oh, come on. Yeah. Do it. They're overcompensating. No, I'm not doing it. You can't bring that up and then just leave me hanging. I'd like to hear it. I think we should place it in in post production. We should splice in the sound. Yeah, if we could find it.

So I'm warning the honest because it might sound like my stomach is growling or something,

but I just promise it's it's these monkeys behind me if you hear it. Sure. But Ricky,

we've got some interesting stories. We're going to get a little meta today. We're going to talk about the decline and fall of the podcasting industry. We'll discuss recent slate of data that suggests we may be in the wrong line of work. Then we'll take stock of two of Governor DeSantis's critical pieces of education legislation from last year that came under fire from First Amendment advocates. We'll ask whether their claims were right or whether they were exaggerated.

But first, Ricky, let's talk about cancer.

We have some good news to report in the battle to conquer cancer.

Some good news here in health news is the U.S. cancer death rate has dropped by a third in the past 30 years.
