My name is Joshua Topolsky and I have a new podcast called What Future.

But I want to tell you that I'm being forced by my producer to record a promo telling you about my show.

And I'm not trying to force you to listen to it.

And maybe you're not interested in internet culture and the future of life on planet Earth.

And why John Carpenter movies are so good.

You may just want to listen to a podcast about, I don't know, sports or whatever Joe Rogan talks about.

And that's fine, you know, no judgment.

But if you like what you're hearing and I know that you do, you can listen to all of what future on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

My name is Nando Vila and I host the new podcast, the best soccer podcast in the world. And I assure you, it is.

This new podcast tells stories that spill well beyond the field from legendary players to silly hairdos to heart-wrenching finals.

If you're into football, I don't think there can be a better expression of it than the World Cup.

All episodes will be in English and in Spanish.

Listen to the best soccer podcast in the world as part of the Michael Dutton podcast network available on the I Heart Radio app, Apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

Happy Thursday, Amy here. Welcome to Four Things. I got an OG old school for things format for you today with four totally different things.

We're going to talk about giving fear space, stream of consciousness writing, making easy cookies, which are going to thank me for that one because they really are the best, most simplest cookies in the world and they're so good and seeking change out of love, not hate for yourself.

All right, give fear space. That's what we're going to talk about. And it's inspired by something that my friend Lisa posted about fear on Instagram.

But before I get into that and Lisa's account because she's an awesome follow, I got to tell you about another account that I recently started following after Jennifer Aniston posted about it.

It's brunch with bags and I feel like it might be a little late to the party because she has 1.8 million followers and I love badses Instagram bio.

She says, I'm the internet mom and grandma. You didn't know you needed come for the family recipes. Stay for the motherly advice.

Anyway, she totally is the mom grandma that I didn't know I needed. I don't have a mom and a grandma anymore, not trying to be Debbie down or in any way, shape or form. But sometimes I mean simple things about, you know, with Thanksgiving coming up.

Like, there's stuff I used to ask my mom like, hey, I'm going to be having this many people over how much food should I make and my mom be able to help me with that.

But brunch with babs, she does stuff like that on her account. Like, she'll tell you she put up a post the other day that tells you exactly how much food you need to have at Thanksgiving based on how many people are going to be coming over how much wine you need to purchase.
