This week, Jasmine and Michael go off the rails and forget that when the episode drops, it will be Pride month (except we all know who actually forgot).

Jasmine finally shares her plans for June, and, shocker, they are Disney-related. So, yet again, the podcast visits the Haus of Mouse for a bit. Then, Michael talks Ren Faires.

The news dives into environmental activism, the return of Sesame Street, marine refreshment, the World Masters Games, LGBTQIA+ allyship, and even more environmental news.

Jasmine teases us with magical penguin poop, but moves on to the Wheel of Topics, which has our hosts talking about superpower desires.

Join us for another rousing, pleasant conversation. Hope you didn’t cheat Death because this episode is one derailed train away from the next Final Destination storyline!
