I'm sorry but Peter is embarrassing himself, it's not a nerdy reference it's an extremely normie. reference. I don't watch football but I know who Tom Brady is jeez 😂
This drove me to the If Books Could Kill feed like a bat signal because I needed to understand the reference. As a non-lesbian listener, I appreciate the Star Wars and card game nerding out.
The mom stuff gets at something I’ve thought about for a long time, that people weaponize the notion of “understandable” as “I can literally understand where this comes from” with understandable as “this is deserving of sympathy” as a way to offload their shitty behavior onto you
Peter, who plays elden ring, but is completely unaware of the star wars prequels meme phenomenon. Mike be all like "it's a gay thing, it's Natalie Portman!" Like Peter doesn't know the Darth Jar Jar fan theory.
