#235 - Ming 25: Some Light Treason

Richard Hatch is overseas on a top-secret mission… to win over Jill, the most elusive, electrifying student in his 7th-grade class. He isn’t suave or sophisticated, so he’s gonna need help from The Beatles, the Russians, and even the CIA to pull it off.

Thank you, Richard Hatch aka Danger 9b, for sharing your story with us!

Rick is back in the US and is putting the finishing touches on a kid-friendly memoir about his travels abroad.

In this podcast, we'll reveal some of the Dora Milaje's tantalizing secrets, from their debut in the 1990s to their appearance in the upcoming Black Panther film Wakanda Forever.

438: Dora Milaje (Black Panther Wakanda Forever)

In 1977, a mild-mannered aeronautical engineer sideswiped a parked car in Compton, CA. He stopped his car to see the damage, and all of a sudden a man opened his car door, and jumped in the car. He said, "I'm about to save your life." What happened next would torture him for the rest of his life.

Le dirty talking ou dirty talk : en français, le parler sale. Les trucs un peu hard qu'on (se) dit au lit. La sexualité étant un espace hautement culturel, on a même réussi à codifier le dérapage – il s'agit d'être explicite mais pas trop, de se dire des cochonneries mais pas trop. Maïa Mazaurette donne quelques conseils de bon sens illustrés de sons réjouissants.

Sex and sounds (n°4) : Dirty talking

La masturbation est plutôt silencieuse ? D'accord, mais ça n'a pas empêché Internet et la bande dessinée de lui inventer une onomatopée : fap. L'histoire pourrait s'arrêter à cette simple signalétique masturbatoire sans importance. Sauf que sur Internet ce n'est jamais simple, et que toute culture crée une contre-culture. Ainsi, le fap a généré le NoFap, mouvement anti-masturbatoire destiné à faire reprendre en main leur vie aux hommes... à condition qu'ils n'y mettent plus les doigts.

THE TRUTH is movies for your ears. We make short, often darkly funny stories that take you to unexpected places. Every story is different, and they're usually around 10 to 20 minutes long. If you're new, some good starting places are: In Good Hands, You're Not Alone, Do You Have a Minute for Equality, Tape Delay, or whatever's most recent. Listening with headphones is encouraged!
