Zara “Jars” Larsson
Inertias, welcome to the Lush Life because we’re shaking our asses this week to the unflappable Swedish songstress who makes every day feel like a never ending Midnight Sun. Our Miss Thing is a braces ambassador, a full blown comedian, an uber talented singer and dancer, and the ultimate Lisa Frank Beach girl — ZARA LARSSON!! In this ep, Greg shares a tale from a weekend sailing trip in which he ended up surrounded by way too many SEALS, while Tim remembers the time he discovered his life-long fear of sharks during his “Florida Spring.“ The boys also talk ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ breaking all the records, the secrets in Amy Pascal’s hair, the Obama Presidential Library, the Rolling Stone cover that launched 1,000 ships, and the new gay friend app, ‘Goose’. Plus, they ask breezy questions like, “Who is Jenna Bush’s sister?”, “Why haven’t Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber collaborated?” and “What is a psyop?” So Gennifertias, go get a spray tan, put on your highest pumps, and get ready to listen to an episode that will leave you feeling like you just got back from Myrtle Beach with braids, a blue tongue, and Ja Rule blasting on the radio.
