The Monkey's Paw of Being a Pop Girl

from Keep Me Young · host Blake Jennings & Heather Jones

And sometimes Fridays! And sometimes UNDER an hour! Can you even believe? This week we are aging aka our brains are literally decaying and atrophying because of a Splatoon brain rot voiceover. And our hearts are both growing 3 sizes like the grinch and also withering away because of the malevolent use of “When Somebody Loved Me” all over Toy Story 5. They’ve got us so bad, we don’t even need to hear the words anymore!! But maybe we all need more plushies? We’re both aging and staying young because of our girl, Ari. We at KMY think everyone deserves to disappear into the woods every now and then (or for months at a time, like Heather), and that especially applies to celebrities. So everybody shutup and leave her alone so she can wear big hoodies in peace! The Women’s Pro Baseball League is keeping us young because 1. lesbian jocks in tight pants 2. women’s sports and 3. a national anthem rendition that defies gravity, time, and even pitch. Play ball! This week’s depression meals really don’t check any boxes at all other than “technically food” and we think that’s better than nothing. See you next week for Q&A!
