Hi, I'm Rachel Hampton.

And I'm Natishpawa, and you're listening to I-C-YMIMI.

In case you missed it.

Slate's podcast about internet culture. And today we're joined by

another friend of the show, Slate staff writer Natish Pawah. Natish, hello, welcome back.

Hello, Rachel. So happy to be back. As always, always so much fun being on the show.

I feel like I just show you things that you don't know about despite the fact that I know you spend as much time as I do online.

And it's always fun just seeing what's going to surprise you.

Oh, totally.

I mean, it's such an expansive world, isn't it? And we need to show each other what we have found, respectively. Otherwise, what's the point? What a great day for you to

come back. Nothing at all is happening in the news today, right? It's super chill, super calm.

Yeah, I don't think any major media figures have lost their jobs.

I think everything has been pretty quiet on this Monday.

Mm-hmm.

Yes.

Also, like you just said, it's a Monday.

So I'm sure the following discussion we're about to have will be slightly outdated by the time this episode drops on Wednesday.

But I simply have to discuss this with you, Tish.

Tucker Carlson being unceremoniously dropped by Fox News, Don Lemon, also being let go

unceremoniously, though maybe more ceremonious than his notes app explanation let on?

What is going on right now?

What is in the air right now?
