This is a parody of the song "Five Feet High and Rising" by Johnny Cash. This song is about listening to podcasts and progressively increasing the playback speed to the point that the brain starts acquiring incredible powers due to the increased exercise imposed on it. The idea of speeding up podcasts was inspired by Saagar Enjeti.
lyrics
How fast is the podcast, mama?
1.5x and rising
How fast is the podcast, papa?
She said “1.5x and rising”
We can make it through a show before a quarter to 9
What do we do now that we got time
Another episode (JRE) and it’s right on time (begins to shine)
1.5x and rising
How fast is the podcast, mama?
2.0x and rising
How fast is the podcast, papa?
She said “2.0x and rising”
Well, my brain’s adapting, I’ve learned a lot
I’ve upped the ante, man it’s getting hot
I think I’ll give it another shot
2.0x and rising
How fast is the podcast, mama?
2.5x and rising
How fast is the podcast, papa?
She said “2.5x and rising”
Well my wife has left me, I’m all alone
I turned on a podcast, didn’t like her tone
Might as well speed it up on my phone
2.5x and rising
How fast is the podcast, mama?
3.0x and rising
How fast is the podcast, papa?
She said “3.0x and rising”
Well, I’ve unlocked the next stage of my mind
I now have the ability to slow down (the) time
I got no more podcasts, but I got more rhymes (time)
3.0x and rising
