Welcome back, weary travelers of the world, to another episode of The Second Mouse Podcast, where we joyously dissect the misery of current events and societal absurdities.

We start our cynical journey with a cheerful chat about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's ambition to become the president. We take a painful delight in highlighting how, if his presidency is anything like his governorship, it'll be more of a 'Trump: The Sequel' rather than an original masterpiece. Who needs a puppet show when you have DeSantis's presidential run?

As we step away from the political dumpster fire, we pivot towards the basketball court. It seems like the NBA legend, LeBron James, may be hanging up his jersey for good, or perhaps donning a new one with the New York Knicks. We'll contemplate whether shifting to the Knicks is the 'best' case scenario for him, or just another tragic tale of a fallen hero.

From there, we plunge into the grim world of loneliness, because why should the show get any cheerier? According to some very cheerful researchers, adults are getting lonelier and it's causing health issues. Let's face it, who needs physical health when mental health is spiraling down into the abyss? We promise it's not all doom and gloom (Spoiler: It kinda is).

And of course, as per our hallowed tradition, we'll have our 'Assholes of the Week' segment, where we single out those special individuals making the world just a bit more unbearable. Following this, we've got the 'Picks of the Week', which will likely involve some sort of escapism to momentarily forget the world's woes.

As a cherry on top of our cynicism sundae, we've roped in a special guest to join the fray at the end of the show. This episode will challenge your faith in humanity, but in the most entertaining way possible. So buckle up, listeners, for another joyride through the macabre theme park we call The Second Mouse Podcast.
