Context:

Discussion about an anti-capitalist song that Steve's child is learning at a song and dance program. Phil mentions 'The Lorax' and explicitly states 'The Lorax was a book written decades ago' while discussing the themes in the song about cutting down trees and corporate greed. Though they're discussing a song possibly from a movie adaptation, the book is explicitly referenced as the original source material.

Context:

Speaker 1 makes a reference to The Lorax when discussing tree cutting and environmental concerns, saying 'So when I hear people chopping down all the trees, like I go to a kind of a low rax place.' This is a clear allusion to Dr. Seuss's environmental conservation book.

Context:

Referenced when discussing Yanni's absence from the podcast. Phil the engineer has audio clips of Yanni, and they joke about asking him about reading 'The Cat in the Hat' to his kids, with commentary about having to read sentences multiple times to understand them.
