Segment City Episode 249 - Busta Rhymes Island

Barbie is a brand that wants girls to be anything. A fashion model. A McDonald’s employee. A stewardess. A fashion model. But most importantly: Thin. But they also believe in minimalism in that they believe in providing minimum amenities at their sponsored convention that rivals the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience and Dashcon! This week on the podcast, Will and Theo talk about Will’s morning movie marathon, what their Top 3 Musical Artists are, some 4/20 stoner deals from pizza joints (pun intended), Panera’s new “Salad Stuffer” which is just a reinvented sandwich, the very disappointing “Barbie Dream Fest” Convention, Big Foot enthusiasts disappointed by a recent documentary disproving iconic evidence, and a man’s excruciatingly long food poisoning journal.

Sometimes you see “based on a true story” and think, how can that possibly be true? Well in the base of Bloodsport, turns out it can’t. This week on the podcast Theo and Will debunk the man behind the 1988 Jean-Claude Van Damme movie Bloodsport, hypothesize about an ice cream taste tester, and Will brings us on the wild social experiment/terribly conceived research project known as the Sex Raft.   Email us at [email protected] iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/segment-city/id1469462393 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7g8dQmJdnROidQM5dvHpW3?si=5W3qBWO1SIirNnhwjvcd0Q Podbean: https://segmentcity.podbean.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtOxbiSIX1NlSrNMLSqzFqQ

Honestly, Busta Rhymes deserves an island named after him. This week on the podcast, the boys talk about a cringey Valentine’s Day candlelight concert, idiots that you end up behind at the airport, Wendy’s new “Chief Tasting Officer” PR job posting, McDonald’s condescending “First Job” competition, Dunkin's new iced bucket container where they put it into a… small bucket? A small island in Shrewsbury, MA unofficially called “Busta Rhyme’s Island”, the Krafton gaming CEO who tried to get out of a contacted bonus payout with the help of ChatGPT, Mark Zuckerberg making a new AI to do his CEO duties, how some Silcon Valley employees are “Tokenmaxing” by using a lot of tokens for AI agents, and a very surprising “I Was Poisoned!" as the last segment.   Email us at [email protected] iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/segment-city/id1469462393 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7g8dQmJdnROidQM5dvHpW3?si=5W3qBWO1SIirNnhwjvcd0Q Podbean: https://segmentcity.podbean.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtOxbiSIX1NlSrNMLSqzFqQ

…And we are back after a little summer hiatus! And we will answer the question posed by a small religious sect: Has love won?  No. Especially if you drink silver and vodka all the way to mummification.

Step by step, this guided meditation will bring you inside the experience of being in a nude russian bathhouse. Breath in. Feel the steam filling your lungs. Feel the hot stones on your bare butt.

Will also has food drama, bringing the MrBeast Ghost Burger news. Next Theo takes us on a deep dive review of a Russian Bathhouse in Boston, that truly leaves no detail out.

Next up, probably a drone that drops live venomous snakes into people’s homes or something...
