Chuck Todd Celebrates 500 Followers

Former NBC host Chuck Todd threw himself a party after hitting 500 followers on his new podcast account. Eyewitnesses report balloons, a banner reading �Halfway to Irrelevance,� and Todd live-streaming a toast with store-brand seltzer. �Every follower matters,� he declared, while accidentally muting himself for half the speech. Anonymous staffers admitted the milestone was padded by bots from Moldova and two interns� cats. A fake poll revealed 41% of Americans thought 500 was impressive, 37% didn�t, and 22% thought Todd was celebrating blood sugar levels. Economists argue the micro-following economy could become a new metric for washed-up anchors. For now, Todd insists the celebration proves he�s �still got it��though critics note �it� may just be a Groupon for party supplies. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
