Sometimes you don’t realize how a song from childhood resonates until someone points it out years later. Joe Guay joined Dana DuBois and me this morning on The Daily Whatever to talk about the burden of surnames, the rise of AI, and the power of “The Rainbow Connection” from The Muppet Movie.
We recently published Joe’s story about his connection to the song:
As usual, the chat was off the hook, where we learned about things like customer loyalty cards for sex workers (and sluts: mine is a complimentary blueberry muffin (it’s not just free, the muffin says nice things to you)).
