Episode 8, The Affordabili‑Tea Crisis.

This Episode "ate". We're covering the latest news updates—from prices being too damn high in this affordability crisis to ACA premiums set to spike right after the holidays. ICE is making headlines for more than just arresting immigrants with criminal backgrounds, and the U.S. Coast Guard has seized a Venezuelan oil tanker that’s stirring international tea. Then it’s on to our Viewer's Choice topics: the rise of AI, a nostalgic check‑in on girl groups and where they are now, and a 2025 roundup of what you missed, what you must see, and what you absolutely need to learn before the year gets away from you. The kettle is full, the tea is hot, and we’re serving it all with holiday‑season energy.Visit www.drmarklong.comListen on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music. YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUNgD6OB7Y0Bv2ZJAN7u7dgAmazon: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ce102b4c-4321-4873-be03-e1bdd908f93f/clock-the-tea-with-dr-longApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/clock-the-tea-with-dr-long/id1852896832Visit https://redcircle.com/shows/c073929d-a568-44d6-b1a4-2ba85e235284 to learn more about the podcast.RSS feed link: https://feeds.redcircle.com/c073929d-a568-44d6-b1a4-2ba85e235284Title:Take Me Back by Luke BergsURL:https://www.chosic.com/download-audio/60524/Credits:Luke Bergs & Waesto - Take Me Back | https://soundcloud.com/bergscloud/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY-SA 3.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
