This. All day. I take the Jersey Turnpike to my parents every few months. Way more dangerous than flying! And yet…and YET. My soul is not soothed by that fact.

And it is so malleable based on tone! Joy, anger, frustration, surprise, boredom. What can’t it fucking do??

As someone who falls asleep to Frasier playing quietly on my phone, I would like to make my bf similarly weird. Sadly, he is a silence is golden type of sleeper.

When they are good, I eat three in about two minutes. When they're vacuum cleaner dust, I vow never to buy them again.
Until I do.

I love Slate's Culture Gabfest, Critics at Large, It's Been a Minute. And I second or third or fourth the Normal Gossip rec. High drama, low stakes is the way and the light right now.

I met him when he was recording an audiobook, and he was the most affable man. And I got to tell him how much I loved "Tumbleweeds" and the perfection that are all of the performances. Thus endeth my Jay O. Sanders story :-)

I’m a big fan of Steven Hassan, who was able to leave a cult in his 20s and has spent about 30 years helping others get out. www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Stev...

You are! I’m a little obsessed with the show. Especially how lovely you, Stephen, and Julia are with each other. Even when disagreeing.

Yes! That entire cast was excellent as was the premise.

I am selfishly glad it’s terrible because it means an eviscerating review. Only thing better is hearing you let loose on bad movies on Culture Gabfest 🤩

I adored Calvin & Hobbes and when I was done with all of them fell for the slightly less well-known Foxtrot.

I contend that casting Ms. Diahann Carroll as Marion Gilbert was the greatest Mother-Daughter TV pairing in history.

I have listened to your episode about “The Fugitive” three times. Can’t wait to listen to this one!

Also, I had a crush on him in that movie but I had a crush on EVERYONE in that movie.

I have legit been struggling with this since the pandemic. I know it’s making my anxiety way worse. It’s the best advice out there right now.

Welp, now I’m calling them that. Much, I’m sure to my fella’s chagrin.

My bf was so baffled when I threw out slightly too-toasted toast to start again. And then watched it with the sharpest eye. I take my toast’s toastedness seriously.

Listen. My 13-year-old self thought this in the theater (I am an old) and was so confused. But for reals. The Beast all day.

It is legit a perfect comedy. Charles Grodin's best role, no notes!
