Hi, honestly, listeners. It's Barry here, and I miss you. I really do. I know I've been gone for a while,

and you may have heard, you know, may have read it in the press that I've got kind of a lot going on,

but I'm eager to be back in the routine of honestly having the kind of conversations that I can't

live without, and I'm going to have more on that soon. For now, I have a special

treat for you. You're about to hear someone who sounds a lot like me, so much like me, in fact,

that my parents cannot tell us apart. It's my sister, Susie. You might remember her from our

annual yearly prediction episode. It's my favorite episode of the year, where she says things like

soup and shame are in, but therapy is out. Many of those predictions have proved correct,

including the boom and Catholicism. Anyway, now she has her own show. It's a culture podcast.

It's called, after her column in the free press, Second Thought, and it's hosted by her and Dan Adieu. And they're getting into all of the fun stuff. No, not the straight of her moves, not the state of the union. That stuff's for me. But things like internet drama, television shows, movies, health trends, what's in and what's out. And they're

going to bring in the most knowledgeable, hilarious guests they can find to break it all down.

If you want to understand what the hell is going on in pop culture, this is the show for you.

And I'm highly biased, but I can tell you, Dan and Susie are, other than Nellie, the two funniest people than I know.

You can look out for episodes every single Friday. And for today, enjoy this first episode with

early YouTube pioneer Casey Nystead. Stay with us.

Hi, everyone. Welcome to Second Thought.

I'm Susie Weiss.

I'm a columnist at the free press and a very strong opinion haver.

You may have read my takes on semi-glutides, dating, lab-grown diamonds, Britney Spears conservatorship,

Katie Perry's trip to space, Melinda Gates's very disappointing memoir.

I could go on.

And I intend to.
