Recorded under the rare appearance of the summer sun. Ever wondered why some adults in China are resorting to pacifiers? Or why Greek firefighters are treated like disposable heroes? And did anyone catch the absurd Trump-Putin Alaska spectacle? Dive into the latest episode of this unapologetically cynical podcast to get the lowdown on these bizarre realities, plus a rundown of cultural ventures in Berlin and the latest blunders in US climate policy. Think ignorance is bliss? Brace yourself for the truth. In more detail (thanks AI)Today’s episode kicks off with the latest Chinese trend: adult-sized pacifiers for stress relief. It’s as absurd as it sounds. Then we turn to Greece, where firefighters fight both fires and governmental neglect, dealing with temporary contracts and no hazard pay, despite battling dangerous blazes. In Berlin, an old fire station transforms into a cultural hub for a two-month Club Commission event, showcasing a range of performances. The surreal hits a new high when Trump gives Putin a Broadway-like reception in Alaska, complete with red carpets and flyovers—yet yielding zero diplomatic results. As if that’s not enough, the Trump administration also aims to kill NASA satellites tracking CO2 levels, essentially blinding us to climate change. To wrap up on a lighter note, the host thanks Polly for an ingenious self-cleaning garlic press, a rare joy amidst the chaos. Join me every week as I navigate through more absurdities and life. 00:00 Introduction and Personal Update00:47 Bizarre Trend: Adult Pacifiers04:45 Greek Firefighters' Plight08:50 Berlin's New Cultural Venue10:25 Surreal Diplomacy: Trump and Putin14:13 Climate Science Under Threat17:51 Conclusion and Listener AppreciationLike, Review, Follow and those things bitte bitteeeeeeee
