Hello and welcome to weekly skews for Tuesday, August 19th, 2025.

I'm Mark Agey.

Trey Crowder is stuck somewhere in airport purgatory for all day.

So Corey, Brian Forrecher's

gracious agree to fill in. How are you doing, Corey? I'm good. I'm really, this whole

tray thing, like, he's always had so much trouble at the airport that I'm really starting to

believe in a God that doesn't love him. Because it happens to me me on occasion but like literally every time this man

flies it's you know his equivalent of 9-11 not like an actual 9-11 but just being mildly

inconvenienced which is 12-7 we'll give it a 12-7 yeah well they uh you know what they just

like the people in 9-11 in trade did not reach his destination on time. So they could, we'll stop the analogy there. Before we get to the show, I do you need to know is we sit down to record this. It is 1.36 PM on the Pacific, on the West Coast. Yeah, Corey is in Georgia. So it's 436 where he is. So it's a totally different. You're from the past.

Yeah. Or you're from the future. I'm from the future. But luckily, I don't know anything that's happened in either timeline. All right. Before we get to the show, we're going to talk about, we got a few thoughts. We'll get to it. We'll get to it. But, so before we get to the show, I want to talk about the New York Times of this

fascinating trend piece over the weekend about rich people hiring shamans to keep rain from

falling on their destination weddings because that would be ironic when it rains near wedding

day.

We all learn that in the 90s.

That's true.

I want to read here from it. I want to read here from it.

Swank Wong, 34, a destination wedding planner, pulled out all the stops for her own wedding at Rapples, Bali, and Indonesia last March.

And I just want to note that Swank Wong, being a rich Asian person is like, this is like J.K. Rowling trying to name a rich Asian person is like this like jk.

out jk.

rauling trying to name a rich Asian.

I swear to God.
