You may have heard that California (and the west coast in general) is experiencing another record setting heat wave. On Friday, Death Valley’s appropriately named Furnace Creek reached a high of 130 degrees Fahrenheit… you know, just 4 degrees shy of THE HOTTEST MEASURED TEMPERATURE ON EARTH.

Palm Springs is 120 in the shade, Vegas hit 117, and the Chair’s air conditioning decided to throw in the towel (I blame the climate change deniers).

The Chair’s gonna cool off this week (fingers crossed for merciful a/c repair) so be sure to check out/catch up on our podcast Pod from a Chair — new episodes coming soon!

And if you want to stay extra cool, check out Obama’s new summer playlist... because we know we’ll never be as cool as him.

Check it out for yourself:

And if that wasn’t enough, we also have this new offering from Apple TV+ — the all singing-all dancing musical bonanza known as Schmigadoon. Don’t get us wrong, we are here for Cecily Strong, underrated SNL goddess that she is… but this is just… beyond:

We have a feeling there is a follow up blog post to come covering both of these…. let’s just say… wildcards.

STAY TUNED!!
