There's something delightfully absurd about today's beauty and fashion landscape, and we're here to unpack it all. While the rest of the world might be discussing severe weather events or international conflicts, we're diving headfirst into the truly important stuff – like why anyone would want fried chicken flavored toothpaste.

Welcome to our exploration of the weird, wild world of 2025's predicted beauty trends. From "Caveman Skin" (where you literally do nothing to your face) to "Duck Nails" (manicures that flare out like webbed feet), we're questioning humanity's collective judgment. Have you heard about men putting flowers in their beards? Or people getting pink circle tattoos on their knees for a "youthful glow"? Perhaps most baffling is the trend of creating fake under-eye bags – deliberately making yourself look tired as a fashion statement.

Between our beauty trend deep-dives, we share equally bizarre news stories that seem too strange to be true. There's the raccoon found with a meth pipe during a police traffic stop, the Florida man who celebrated his code violation by putting a six-foot fiberglass butt in his yard, and the historical "Wicked Bible" that accidentally commanded people to commit adultery. We also touch on Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning, noting that 62-year-old Tom Cruise continues his action star career while questioning why 60+ women rarely get similar opportunities in Hollywood.

If you enjoyed this ridiculous romp through humanity's strangest choices, subscribe to catch our next episode. Until then, maybe reconsider that chicken-flavored toothpaste purchase – or don't. We're not here to judge, just to marvel at the wonderful weirdness of it all.

We've got a papal election, celebrity soup moments, and dogs celebrating birthdays! Welcome to the delightfully unpredictable world of The Anne Levine Show, where host Anne and co-host Michael Over There™ masterfully weave through cultural touchpoints both global and hyperlocal.

The Vatican's white smoke signaled the arrival of the new Pope Leo XIV (formerly Robert "Bob" Prevost), a Chicago-born 69-year-old with surprising inaugural priorities including AI ethics. Meanwhile, the Met Gala celebrated Black dandyism with Rihanna announcing her pregnancy in Marc Jacobs, Zendaya channeling Diana Ross and Bianca Jagger, and Diana Ross herself wearing an 18-foot train embroidered with family names – a powerful recognition of Black fashion's enduring influence on mainstream couture.

Against this backdrop of world events, Anne and Michael celebrate their dog Yaya's third birthday, lamenting how quickly our beloved pets age and wishing scientists would focus less on space exploration and more on extending canine lifespans. Their discussion ventures through social media absurdities (Taylor Swift's jet now has its own Instagram account), unusual news (a Vermont town swore in AI chatbot "Greg" as ceremonial mayor), and celebrity dirt (Kylie Jenner being escorted from Art Basel after sitting on a $40,000 chair installation).

The conversation takes a uniquely Cape Cod turn with shark cam footage capturing a drag queen paddleboarding with seals in Provincetown, prompting officials to respond with "Shantay, you slay. Also, please exit the SEAL nursery area immediately." Historical tidbits about beard taxes in England and Russia provide educational value, while frank discussions about aging – complete with references to "neck flaps" appearing at 55 – remind listeners that The Anne Levine Show delivers both entertainment and authenticity in equal measure.

Join us weekly for this uniquely engaging blend of news, nostalgia, and observations that somehow manage to capture the zeitgeist through a lens both intimate, expansive, and flappy. Where else will you find conversations that jump from papal elections to paddleboarding drag queens with such seamless delight?

How many languages exist in the world? The answer might shock you—7,000 distinct tongues, with one disappearing every 40 days. This linguistic extinction crisis represents one of humanity's greatest cultural tragedies, as each language contains unique perspectives, knowledge systems, and ways of understanding our world that can never be recovered once lost.

Between discussions of vanishing languages, we dive into the absurdity of high fashion with Giuseppe Zanotti's $1,000 "Amelia Invisible" jacket—literally selling nothing but a receipt and an empty box. When the Emperor's New Clothes becomes reality, who's the real fool? People are actually buying these non-existent garments, proving once again that luxury marketing knows no bounds.

Our deep dive into Florida Man territory brings us to a gas station (why is it always a gas station?) where an intoxicated customer attempted to pay for fuel with Monopoly money, insisting it was "legal tender in the Community Chest." With a blood alcohol level of 0.3, he's apparently tried this scheme at multiple locations, earning bans from five gas stations and three convenience stores across the region.

Being the most educational show on the radio this very second, we also explore the fascinating science behind the Tonka bean tree—nature's lightning rod that channels electrical strikes through its trunk to eliminate competing vegetation. When lightning hits, these remarkable trees funnel the energy straight into the ground, killing vines and ensuring their survival against all odds. It's a reminder that in the ongoing apocalypse, cockroaches and Tonka bean trees will likely be among the last standing.

From social media influence (apparently you only need 1,000 followers to be a "nano-influencer") to bizarre wedding stories from India, our educational journey covers ground that no classroom would dare. Join us every Tuesday on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans, or stream worldwide at WOMR.org. Because where else will you learn about invisible fashion, Monopoly money scams, and lightning-proof trees all in one hour?
