The ultimate 80s weekend outing was pointless if it didn't include a stop at Santarama Miniland. But Jan van Riebeeck's Lilliputian empire has crumbled — and it's given Paulo an idea for a very specific, very tiny heist.Naturally, it somehow involves Michael Jackson. And because we said “Michael Jackson” three times in a row, we accidentally summoned Corey Feldman. Unfortunately, we seem to be the only ones as we find out why he was told to “Beat It”, along with several other very 'Bad" Michael Jackson song puns.If you flew into certain airports in 80s America, you might have found a bar where everybody knew your name — and two barflies who knew how to steal your soul.Finally, “Two 80s Truths and a Lie” warns us never to use James Brown's toilet.Links:Santarama Mini Land & Jan van Riebeeck Statue (00:03:24): https://web.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=10160433653026599&set=gm.584606431122676&idorvanity=293847420198580https://thesewalkingboots.wordpress.com/2013/05/15/santarama-miniland/https://web.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=486060891462309&set=a.471171301709762&id=100064506887860&_rdc=1&_rdrGiant Michael Jackson Statues (00:12:28):https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cn0q2krypkroCorey Feldman admin woe: https://www.tmz.com/2026/04/29/corey-feldman-not-at-michael-premiere-due-to-misunderstanding/Animatronic Barflies from "Cheers" : https://www.mentalfloss.com/entertainment/tv/cheers-bar-robots-controversyTwo 80s Truths and a Lie: https://time.com/3629041/james-brown/#That 80s Show, #1980s nostalgia, #South African culture, #Santa's Mini Land, #theme parks, #Jan van Riebeeck, #Michael Jackson statue, #Gold Reef City, #Cresta Ice Rink, #Corey Feldman, #Cheers bars, #animatronic characters, #80s pop culture, #miniature replicas, #historical landmarks, #HIV awareness, #80s trivia, #mobile phones, #GIF invention, #celebrity anecdotes, #heist plans, #family entertainment, #childhood memories, #quirky attractions, #South African landmarks,
Michael Jackson Nonstop Dance Mix 2026
In this episode of The Music in Me, I finally talk about one of the greatest entertainers of all time, Michael Jackson. I honestly can't believe it has taken me this long to dedicate a full episode to him because I have always been a huge fan of his music. With the new movie Michael bringing attention back to his incredible story and legacy, it felt like the perfect time to celebrate the King of Pop. I take a look back at Michael's journey from his early days with The Jackson 5 to becoming one of the biggest stars the world has ever seen. I also talk about some of his greatest hits, including songs from Thriller, Off the Wall, and Bad, and discuss why his music still connects with people generations later. From iconic music videos and unforgettable performances to emotional songs with important messages, this episode is all about celebrating the music, artistry, and legacy of Michael Jackson.The Magic of Michael Jackson's Thriller Ep. 62SONGS BY THE JACKSON 5:I Want You BackABCThe Love You ShareI'll Be ThereMICHAEL JACKSON SONGS AND ALBUMS...OFF THE WALL (1979)Don't Stop 'Til You Get EnoughRock With YouTHRILLER (1982)Billie JeanBeat ItThrillerHuman NatureWanna Be Startin' Somethin"BAD (1987)BadThe Way You Make Me FeelDirty DianaSmooth CriminalMan in the MirrorDANGEROUS (1991)Black or WhiteRemember the TimeHeal the WorldJamHIStory CONTINUES (1995)Earth SongThey Don't Care About UsWhat did you think of this episode?

If you weren't alive to know, or old enough to comprehend, how massively popular Michael Jackson was in the 80s, just picture the biggest music star today and times it by five, at least. This week's movie, “Michael”, tries to give you an idea about how big he was, but you really had to be there to know. This movie shines a bright light on the turbulent childhood the Jackson boys, particularly Michael, went through at the hands of their self-absorbed, tyrannical father, Joe Jackson. Joe created the Jackson 5, with Michael as the lead singer, and got them into the sights of Motown. That primarily got Michael made as the next megastar by Berry Gordy at Motown and Quincy Jones. Still in the background was Michael's familial struggle with his father trying to rule his life with an iron fist and knowing his grip is slipping. Michael fights to be his own man and achieve his own dreams all while being the biggest music star of all time. Is it worth going to see this biopic at the theater? Check out Movies Merica to find out! “Michael” stars Jaafar Jackson, Colman Domingo, Nia Long, Miles Teller, Juliano Valdi, Liv Symone, Laura Harrier, Larenz Tate, John Rabe, KeiLyn Durrel Jones, Kendrick Sampson, Michael Andrew Baker and Zach Kenney.

We don't Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', but Michael Jackson holds the record of being one of the best-selling artists of all time and no one has been able to Beat It. Wooo!

We'll first review his HIStory, including the good and the Bad (and the Black or White). Then we're going to Heal the World by talking about MJ's best and worst songs. Hee-hee! This episode is sure to be a Thriller, and may even sound Dangerous, but we'll keep things family friendly and focus on the music and Human Nature instead of controversy.

Creativity through the lens of a musician and songwriter"Being creative is so lucky"Robin Batteau's“Banned in Sparta” is a new collaborative album of songs based on poems by Classical Greek poets and recorded by a number of friends: Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Livingston and Kate Taylor, Matt Nakoa, Robin Lane, 2-time Tony winning actor James Naughton and his gifted children Keira and Greg, plus Carolyn Hester. Robin was inspired by an Ancient Greek History class he took when he returned to Harvard during the Pandemic to finish a degree he started in the 1960s. Robin earned the World Record of taking a 50-year break (between 1970 to 2021) to return to Harvard and finish his degree in 2022. “Banned In Sparta” focuses almost entirely on poets from Ancient Greece between 700 and 400 BC. One poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus (84 – 54 BC), as smitten with the ghost of Sappho as Robin or Alcaeus, is from Rome during Julius Caesar's reign, for whom Eric Andersen performs “Cross (of Gold),” an ode to interlaced and conflicted feelings, “Odi et Amo"— I hate and I love.The title “Banned in Sparta” finds its name from Archilochus, the Bob Dylan of the 7th century B.C., a warrior-poet so irreverent he was “Banned in Sparta.” James Naughton sings the song “Archilochus Re-Deemed (I Am a Servant of the Lord God of War).” Kate Taylor performs “Telesilla's On the Wall,” from the female poet Telesilla, who led her fellow women warriors to victory against those same renowned Spartans. “The Greek Lyric poets performed live, and were the stars of their day,” says Robin. “They were singer/songwriters, they played the lyre (hence "Lyric") and danced around the stage like Tom Paxton and Taylor Swift.”Robin, who studied Ancient Greece and Integrative Biology at Harvard, found that most of what was left of the poems were fragments and myth, “So I mosaic-ed songs to reflect their expressions and intentions— who they were, and are to me.” A range of female poets contributed to the lyrical history of Greece including Corrina, whose “In Her Loving Arms” is sung by Carolyn Hester, and Praxilla's “The Most Beautiful Thing in the World,” a hymn to Adonis, sung by Keira Naughton. Sappho's writing inspires “Terra Cotta Heart,” sung by Robin Lane. Livingston Taylor sings “My Sappho, Sweetly Smiling” from the smitten neighbor and rival Alcaeus. The fun and frolicking “Shake your Hair (You Thracian Filly),” sung by Tom Paxton. Pianist and folk singer Matt Nakoa offers a Bruce Hornsby-like treatment for Simonides of Ceos's “Theatre of Memory (Man of Gold).” Sharing Grammy, Emmy, Clio, and Gold Record Awards and an Oscar nomination, Robin's recorded over a dozen albums with Pierce Arrow, David Buskin (Buskin & Batteau), and many others. His jingles feature in long-running, award-sweeping advertising campaigns from "I'm Lovin' It" for McDonalds to “Can't Beat It” for Coca-Cola to "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet. He's played his 1898 Scarampella violin with everyone from Yo-Yo Ma to Benny Goodman to Bruce Springsteen and has had his melodies sung by Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Judy Collins, Paul Newman, and more. His songs have supported charities and causes, including World Hunger Year, Ocean Alliance, Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, and Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for kids. The Boston Globe defines his music with David Buskin as "Acoustic Heaven."https://robinbatteau.com/https://www.facebook.com/robin.batteauSend us Fan Mail

Michael Jackson isn't just a music icon... he's the measuring stick. But here's the real question that divides fans, historians, and the entire internet: What is Michael Jackson's TRUE Signature Song? Not his biggest hit. Not your favorite song. Not the one with the most awards. The one song that truly defines who Michael Jackson actually was. In the very first episode of CASH THE RECORD (a new monthly series from The John Cash Show Podcast), we break down Michael Jackson's catalog using 5 ruthless rules; Cultural Impact Instant Recogniziability Career Before vs. After Longevity Across Generations Public Identity (the song became the artist) And yes... we eliminate the obvious picks. Because "Thriller" is iconic. "Billie Jean" is legendary. "Beat It" is historic. But are any of them truly the record that defines Michael Jackson? This episode is not for casual listeners. This episode is for the people who love music, love truth, and love a good argument. #Music #CurrentEvents #MichaelJackson #History #PopCulture

Il était une fois l'homme le plus célèbre de la planète dans les années 80. Je veux dire, plus célèbre que les Beatles ou Elizabeth II : Michael Jackson. Un homme qui a révolutionné la pop avec des titres comme Thriller, Billie Jean et Beat It. Et quand je dis ça vous voyez sans doute tout de suite ce chapeau posé en biais sur ses longs cheveux bouclés, ces chaussettes blanches dans ses mocassins, et cette danse que le monde entier a essayé d'imiter - ce fameux moonwalk qui donnait l'impression qu'il flottait sur scène. Sa vie de petit garçon afro-américain né dans la violence d'un père tyrannique devenu une star mondiale aurait dû être un conte de fées moderne. Et c'est exactement comme ça qu'on nous l'a vendue. Pendant des décennies, un voile s'est posé sur ce qui aurait dû nous alerter. Ces jeunes garçons qui l'entouraient tout le temps, qui passaient leurs nuits et leurs vacances avec lui...Dans ce double-épisode consacré au côté obscur de Michael Jackson, je vous invite à plonger dans l'ombre du King of Pop. À découvrir cette face cachée que les projecteurs ont longtemps laissée dans le noir. Parce qu'il y a cette question qui résonne encore aujourd'hui avec un certain malaise : comment avons-nous pu, collectivement, choisir de ne pas voir ?Scandales est un podcast de Madame Figaro, écrit et présenté par Marion Galy-Ramounot, et produit par Lucile Rousseau-Garcia.

pWotD Episode 3281: Michael Jackson Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 339,354 views on Sunday, 26 April 2026 our article of the day is Michael Jackson.Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American singer, songwriter, dancer, and philanthropist. Dubbed the "King of Pop", he is widely regarded as one of the most culturally significant figures of the 20th century. Over a four-decade career, his musical achievements broke American racial barriers and made him a dominant figure worldwide. Through his songs, concerts, and fashion, he proliferated visual performance for artists in popular music, popularizing street dance moves such as the moonwalk, the robot, and the anti-gravity lean. Jackson is often deemed the greatest entertainer of all time.The eighth child of the Jackson family, Jackson made his public debut at age six as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, one of Motown's most successful acts. He rose to solo stardom with the album Off the Wall (1979) and achieved unprecedented global success with Thriller (1982), the best-selling album in history. Its short film-style music videos for "Thriller", "Beat It", and "Billie Jean" redefined the medium as an art form. Jackson followed it with Bad (1987), the first album to produce five US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles: "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", "Bad", "The Way You Make Me Feel", "Man in the Mirror", and "Dirty Diana". His albums Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995) spawned the respective US number-one singles "Black or White" and "You Are Not Alone"; the latter was the first song to debut atop the Hot 100. Jackson's final album, Invincible (2001), is the most expensive ever made.From the mid-1980s, Jackson came under public scrutiny due to changes in his appearance, relationships, behavior, and lifestyle. He was accused of sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy in 1993. The case was settled out of court during 1994, and Jackson was not indicted due to lack of evidence. In 2005, Jackson was tried and acquitted of child sexual abuse and other charges. During 2009, while preparing for This Is It, a series of comeback concerts, he died from an overdose of propofol administered by his personal physician Conrad Murray, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in 2011. Jackson's death triggered global reactions, creating unprecedented surges of Internet traffic and a spike in his music sales. His televised memorial service, held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, is estimated to have been viewed by more than 2.5 billion people.Jackson is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of over 500 million records as a solo artist. He is also—along with Paul McCartney and Phil Collins—one of three recording artists to have sold over 100 million records both as solo artists and separately as principal members of a band. He holds a joint-record for a male solo artist with 13 Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles and is the only artist to have a top-ten single in six decades. One of the most-awarded music artists in history, Jackson received 13 Grammy Awards, the Grammy Legend Award, and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award; 26 American Music Awards; 12 World Music Awards; 8 MTV Video Music Awards; 6 Brit Awards; and 3 presidential honors. He was inducted into numerous halls of fame, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Dance Hall of Fame. Having donated an estimated $500 million, Jackson is credited with setting a standard for celebrity charity. In 2024, half of his music catalogue was sold to Sony for $600 million, the largest music acquisition for a single artist.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:36 UTC on Monday, 27 April 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Michael Jackson on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Jasmine.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz breaks down the massive commercial impact of the 2026 Michael Jackson biopic on the King of Pop's catalog, with a focused look at the song “Human Nature.”Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson as Michael, the film hit theaters on April 24, 2026. It delivered a record-breaking opening for a music biopic, with domestic previews of $12.6 million and projections pushing toward an $85M–$95M+ U.S. weekend — surpassing Straight Outta Compton's $60M debut. Global opening estimates reached $140M–$150M+, fueled by a trailer that racked up 116.2 million views in its first 24 hours.“Human Nature,” from the 1982 Thriller album and released as a single in 1983, peaked at #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #2 on Adult Contemporary. It earned Platinum certification in the U.S. (1 million units) and has accumulated roughly 310–312 million lifetime streams on Spotify, positioning it as a deep cut with remarkable longevity. The track has inspired over 20 samples and numerous covers.The Michael: Songs from the Motion Picture soundtrack, released alongside the film, bundles 13 classic tracks including “Human Nature,” “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and “Thriller.” A new official “Human Nature” video mixing archival footage with modern dance dropped on release day. Post-release, the song climbed to #55 on the UK iTunes Top Songs chart, while “Billie Jean” surged nearly 100 positions. The soundtrack quickly entered the UK Top 10, and Michael Jackson's Spotify monthly listeners held strong at 68–69 million, with catalog streams showing significant daily spikes from trailer exposure, film scenes, and marketing.Analytic Dreamz examines the mechanisms behind the surge — trailer power, on-screen performances, soundtrack synergy, nostalgia, and cross-generational discovery — alongside broader catalog economics. The Michael Jackson estate earned approximately $105 million in 2025, with 2026 projections pointing to a major uplift from box office success, streaming gains, and soundtrack sales. Despite the film's mixed critical reception (39% on Rotten Tomatoes), its commercial momentum has driven immediate catalog resurgence, elevating “Human Nature” from deep cut to featured rediscovery track.This segment delivers data-driven analysis on short-term sales and streaming spikes, mid-term playlist longevity, and the strategic value of the film in reinforcing Michael Jackson's enduring catalog as a high-value asset.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Ce mercredi, ce n'est pas une seule chanson qui est mise à l'honneur, mais bien l'ensemble de l'œuvre du Roi de la Pop à travers une sélection de reprises très variées. Le voyage débute en 1995 avec le groupe allemand The Bates, qui propose une étonnante relecture punk rock du tube "Billie Jean", suivi de près par les Américains de Fall Out Boy qui injectent, en 2008, toute leur énergie pop punk dans le classique "Beat It". D'autres artistes ont préféré explorer une facette plus atmosphérique ou urbaine du répertoire. C'est le cas de The Weeknd, qui livrait en 2012 une version R&B particulièrement sombre de "Dirty Diana", bien avant de devenir la superstar mondiale remplissant les stades. Deux ans plus tard, Tame Impala plongeait "Stranger in Moscow" dans une ambiance encore plus planante. Le répertoire horrifique de Michael Jackson trouve également un écho inattendu chez Ice Nine Kills, qui accentue le côté théâtral de "Thriller" à grands coups de guitares lourdes. La scène française rend elle aussi hommage à la légende : Waxx a convié Ben l'Oncle Soul sur son récent album "Étincelle" (2024) pour revisiter "Black or White", le titre même qui a donné envie à ce dernier de faire de la musique. Enfin, cette plongée dans les covers de l'artiste se clôture sur l'incontournable "Smooth Criminal". Sorti à l'origine en 1987 sur l'album "Bad", le morceau s'est offert une seconde jeunesse en 2001 grâce à l'adaptation beaucoup moins funk et bien plus saturée du groupe californien Alien Ant Farm.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

On a tous une année de notre jeunesse qui reste ancrée en nous. Et qui est bercée, bien évidemment, par de nombreuses chansons. Tellement qu'on a du mal à discerner si ce sont des événements de notre vie qui sont marqués par des musiques ou bien le contraire. Vous voyez de quoi je parle ?Tenez, si on me posait la question, c'est sans hésitation : 1983. L'année de mes 20 ans, c'est bien plus tard que le classique été de nos 15 ans mais sans doute est-ce la production musicale hors norme qui en est la cause.Car oui, 1983, c'est au moins une centaine de hits sur les 200, 250 qui ont circulé cette année-là, qui sont encore, plus de 40 ans après, connus de tous y compris de ceux nés la décennie suivante, voire dans les années 2000. C'est l'année du Thriller de Michael Jackson avec son train de 45 Tours hallucinants, le triomphe fulgurant de nouveaux groupes comme Culture Club, Eurythmics, Tears for Fears, Spandau Ballet, et celui plus inattendu d'anciens comme David Bowie, Mike Oldfield, ZZ Top, Yes et Lionel Richie. C'est vrai que sous une telle averse, on ne se rendait pas compte que ces nouveaux titres qu'on découvrait à la télé ou sur la bande FM, on allait les écouter à une cadence toujours aussi soutenue 40 ans après. Comment aurait-on pu imaginer ça ? Qui écoutait des chansons des 40 en 1983 ? Et puis, cela serait revenu à dire que ce qui allait sortir par après ne serait plus aussi fort, du moins en de telles quantités. Vraiment, ce n'est pas pour rien que, où qu'on aille en Europe, la musique des années 80 soit toujours aussi présente partout.Oui, 1983 est une année miraculeuse. Tenez, par exemple, le Greg Kihn Band, ça vous dit quelque chose ? C'est typiquement le groupe dont plus personne ne sait rien alors qu'en 1983, tout le monde a entendu ceci : …Et ben, je vais vous dire, ce n'est pas du tout un groupe sorti de nulle part. Greg Kihn, c'est un garçon de Baltimore qui s'installe à San Francisco au milieu des années 70 et monte un groupe qui va faire ce que font des centaines de groupes américains sérieux : tourner, enregistrer, sortir des albums, passer sur les radios FM locales, construire petit à petit un public fidèle. Et pendant des années, le Greg Kihn Band, c'est ça : un bon groupe. Ils sortent disque sur disque sur un label indépendant californien, et finissent même par décrocher un premier succès local en 1981 (The breakup song). Et deux ans plus tard, ils tombent enfin sur la bonne chanson au bon moment. C'est du rock qu'on appelle FM, mais surtout, il arrive avec MTV. Le clip, ce mariage bizarre et un peu absurde, aide en effet énormément.Résultat : Jeopardy monte jusqu'à la 2e place aux États-Unis, son accès à la première place du podium, le tant convoité N°1 du Billboard est en effet bloqué par le légendaire Beat It de Michael Jackson. Pas mal pour un groupe qu'on n'avait jamais vraiment invité à la table des grands.Mais on était en 1983, personne pour s'étonner d'un tube tardif, le jackpot d'un groupe de musiciens qui avaient jusque-là bien appris toutes leurs leçons et fait tous leurs devoirs. La preuve : il résonne encore en 2026 avec une fraîcheur étonnante

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
Ever argued over what makes a voice truly unique? We go all-in on that question and discover why “unmistakable” beats “perfect” almost every time. From Cher and Sinatra to Tom Waits, Stevie Nicks, and Bob Dylan, we debate tone, phrasing, range, and the magic test: can you spot them in one note?We kick off with a left-field warm-up on Texas Roadhouse—founder geography, 34-degree cutting rooms, 36-degree beer, fresh-daily bread, and how grassroots roll drops double as smart local marketing. Then it's a tight country news sweep: Ella Langley's triple-chart moment, Jason Aldean's milestone perspective against legacy greats, the Country Music Hall of Fame's American Currents signal, the Braves Country Fest lineup, new drops from Luke Combs to Charlie Crockett, a classic country tour package, and a Lee Brice single stirring up “country nowadays” debate. The throughline is clear: country's center is widening and listeners are picking winners across lanes.Our chart check balances mainstream and indie, spotlighting why a hold at number three means something different than a quick climb to one, and how pop-country crossovers, storytelling, and rock edges share the same field. Then a rapid-fire trivia duel (rock and country) transforms fun facts into a map of genre evolution—Zeppelin's first name, Master of Puppets in 1986, who ripped the Beat It solo, Opry induction stats, Chris Gaines, and more.The mailbag brings the sharpest industry insights. Can an artist be “outlaw” with label money? What's smarter today: 20-track albums or a disciplined singles drip? Is vinyl a real revenue lane or a nostalgia-forward merch play? Who owns the masters when singers go solo—and what can they do about it? We unpack strategy, contracts, and fan behavior without the fluff.Episode LinksVonray: https://jayfranze.com/episode1/Jason Hale: https://jayfranze.com/episode55/Kyle Fields: https://jayfranze.com/episode79/Lucy Becker: https://jayfranze.com/episode86/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140/Send a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/

Episode 506: Shamone Now This week Host Dave Bledsoe won third prize in a “Moonwalking” competition when he lost his balance trying to get up to take a piss and stumbled backward across the stage. (It was a $10 Gift Certificate to Hardees) On the show this week it is part one of a two part show about the biggest pop star of the 80s, Michael Bolton. (We kid, we are talking about Michael Jackson!) Along the way we find out that Dave once thought he was gay because he accidentally liked Michael Jackson's music. (He had a very sheltered childhood) Then we dive into a brief history of Motown for script reasons before, and speaking of sheltered childhoods, we meet the Jacksons. (All dozen of them) We follow the rise of young Michael from his childhood parental abuse to the pinnacle of cultural dominance before the age of 30 years old. (Can't imagine why Mike turned out the way he did). We talk about this music, the videos, the cultural impact and the world fell in love with him. We do NOT talk about the weird stuff. (We're saving that for NEXT week!) Our Sponsor this week is Sequin Hut, all we sell is sequins, which was a pretty bad business choice. We open the show with the news about Thriller and close with Gipsy Danger inquiring about Annie.
