  Today's episode is brought to you by watching people have coffee and trying
• 0:04
  to figure out if it's a date, a networking situation, or just two exes catching up after four years.
• 0:10
  My favorite thing to get at Panda Express was the white rice and poured Diet
• 0:14
  Coke on top instead of soy sauce. It's a whole thing.
• 0:18
  Miley on how she would eat Panda Express growing up.
• 0:21
  Insert theme song here. This is the Daily Starcast. I give you the news and maybe a laugh.

  I'm Lindsay Vernick and it's March 30th, 2026. hi
• 0:29
  guys happy monday thanks so much for tuning in today just
• 0:33
  a little reminder to please share this podcast with
• 0:36
  anyone that you know that might like comedy or the
• 0:39
  news or hates the news and likes comedy or
• 0:42
  hates comedy and loves the news which is probably not possible but you get the
• 0:47
  gist so in real news over the weekend thousands of people showed up to protests
• 0:52
  across the u.s for no kings rallies these protests were technically about the
• 0:56
  war in iran but a lot of people were also protesting immigration crackdown.
• 1:00
  And in a fun little twist, some Senate candidates actually showed up to march with the crowds.
• 1:05
  Nothing like politicians joining protests to say, hey, we hear you,
• 1:09
  and also you should vote for me.
• 1:11
  The rallies happened all over the country, from major cities to smaller places
• 1:14
  like Boise, Idaho, proving that no matter where you live, Americans will absolutely
• 1:18
  gather in large groups when they're frustrated or when there's a farmer's market.
• 1:23
  The takeaway from this one is that people are very mad.
• 1:26
  Politicians are very much present, and everyone is trying to turn that anger
• 1:30
  into momentum before the midterms, which are shaping up to be less of an election
• 1:34
  and more of a national argument.
• 1:36
  An astronaut on the International Space Station had a medical emergency the
• 1:41
  other day. He suddenly could not speak.
• 1:44
  I mean, that's super terrifying. And then what's worse is doctors were like,
• 1:49
  yeah, we actually have no idea why that happened.
• 1:52
  Cool. Love that for space. The astronaut Michael Fink said it happened out of
• 1:57
  nowhere while he was eating dinner.
• 1:59
  Just mid-dinner, no pain, no warning, just couldn't speak.
• 2:04
  Which honestly might have been the scariest thing when you're in the quietest place in the universe.
• 2:09
  Now here's where it gets even worse. this led
• 2:12
  to an early evacuation from the international space station
• 2:15
  something that has literally never happened before in its
• 2:18
  25 year history because of a medical issue doctors
• 2:22
  ruled out that he didn't have a stroke or a heart attack which is great news
• 2:27
  until you realize that it's not so great that they have no idea what it is and
• 2:32
  even now months later they still don't know what happened which is great we're
• 2:37
  just casually sending people into an environment where your body might just
• 2:40
  go on to airplane mode, and nobody knows why.
• 2:42
  Thinks that he feels like he let his crew down by cutting the mission short, which is insane.
• 2:47
  Like, dude, you literally need to come back to Earth. The crew ended up spending
• 2:50
  167 days in space before returning early, and all four astronauts were sent
• 2:55
  to the hospital partly for privacy and partly because NASA was just like,
• 3:00
  we should probably just check everybody to be safe.
• 3:02
  One of Jill Biden's Secret Service members accidentally shot themselves in the
• 3:07
  leg at the Philly Airport on Friday morning.
• 3:09
  According to the U.S. Secret Service, this happened around 8.30 a.m.
• 3:13
  And is being described as a negligent discharge, meaning that the gun was unintentionally fired.
• 3:19
  The agent was taken to a hospital and is reported to be in stable condition
• 3:22
  with non-life-threatening injuries.
• 3:24
  And Jill Biden was also not near the agent or anybody when this went down.
• 3:29
  The Secret Service says it's conducting an internal investigation to figure
• 3:33
  out exactly what happened and how the weapon was discharged.
• 3:36
  I mean, I'm a huge supporter of women and like, you know, we're having equal
• 3:42
  rights as men and stuff. and we finally get some women in the secret service,
• 3:46
  but then they literally go and shoot themselves in the foot or leg.
• 3:50
  In Lindsay life, my roommate was on tour this past weekend. She sold out in New York City.
• 3:56
  It was so much fun. It was so much fun to like see her up there.
• 4:00
  I'm so mad. I had this amazing TikTok of her practicing at the house and then
• 4:06
  like cutting to her playing on stage and it got deleted. I'm so pissed. I'm so mad.
• 4:11
  Anyway, it was really cool. She's a part of a lot of different music.
• 4:15
  She does a lot of alternative stuff. And it was really cool to watch people
• 4:20
  from all different bands and songs that she's been a part of come out and see
• 4:25
  her and sing along the lyrics to her own song that she just dropped last week
• 4:31
  is so cool and so crazy to me.
• 4:33
  And I'm so proud of her. I always do this thing whenever I go to any of her shows.
• 4:38
  Whenever she's up on stage, I always love to turn to the people next to me and go, that's my roommate.
• 4:43
  And I did that a few times on Saturday night in New York.
• 4:47
  And sometimes, a couple times, the person turned back to me and said,
• 4:52
  I know, Lindsay, we've met multiple times. So embarrassing.
• 4:57
  Okay thing of this week is i ran i know not the best but i haven't updated on
• 5:03
  this one in a little bit so i figured it might as well do it this week so things
• 5:07
  are escalating as we all know and the whole world is watching so right now there's
• 5:12
  a lot of focus on the straight of.
• 5:15
  Hormose hormose i don't think i'm pronouncing that right,
• 5:18
  It's one of the most important shipping routes in the world.
• 5:21
  A large portion of global oil comes through that region, so any disruption there
• 5:26
  immediately impacts energy markets and global prices.
• 5:30
  The situation is being closely watched right now because even the threat of
• 5:34
  escalation in a region like this can send ripple effects through the global
• 5:37
  economy, from oil prices to border market stability.
• 5:41
  And our big orange man has been warning Iran that we're going to bomb their
• 5:45
  energy infrastructure if they don't do a total surrender.
• 5:48
  So basically, this situation is very, very tense, and the messaging keeps shifting,
• 5:52
  too, from us, and everyone involved is trying to figure out what happens next.
• 5:56
  Israel is also carrying out a lot of strengths, too, on their police forces
• 6:01
  and militias and a lot of other groups that continuously sustain the regime.
• 6:05
  The big question here is, will this get the regime out of power?
• 6:09
  The people need to rise up and overthrow this regime that has been the largest
• 6:13
  state sponsor of terror and has oppressed and killed hundreds of thousands of
• 6:16
  people the last 47 years.
• 6:18
  So for now, the situation is very, very tense and being closely monitored and
• 6:23
  still developing with a lot of moving parts and there's absolutely no resolution yet.
• 6:29
  Cooking tip of the day. To have scrambled eggs, you must scramble them.
