Yes. I like the celebrities he interviews and I like hearing from the celebs and I don’t mind hearing a little from Dax but these podcasts are two hours long and an hour of that is just Dax talking about Dax. 

Yes, I love the fact checking! And yes, I usually speed through the beginnings. There’s another podcast I love called How to Be Amazing with Michael Ian Black and his are usually an hour and I can do them in one sitting (or run, I listen when I go for a run) and they just seem tighter. Sometimes I feel like Dax goes…

I do like his podcast but the interviews are too long. He needs to stay closer to one hour.

I like her. I’m meh on him. I hate them together. I get really tired of how their “relationship brand” is that “marriage is really hard” - he even mentions it on their podcast a lot and all of the really overly precious stories about how he makes fun of her for wearing swim gloves and stuff. Their stupid music video…

Ah there’s always a way! Just send him a plane ticket, encourage him to come and when it’s time to show him his room - surprise! It’s in the dungeon. 

It’s quite clear the royal family has very little power because I feel like this is worthy behavior of getting shoved in some sort of a tower somewhere. A beheading if it continues. 

This photo of TSwift captures my face pretty much throughout all of high school and college. Always the third wheel.

I think sometimes it shows how good writing and good directing can help an actor. Like everyone on 7th Heaven was smelly terrible but then Jessica Biel is actually a pretty good actress when you get her in something else. 

I always thought Alexis was a dry flat terrible actress as Rory but she really is awesome in The Handmaid’s Tale. She conveys so much with just a look. I was surprised to see this and be like “Oh, she’s actually talented?!” because she was robotic as Rory and not any more impressive in those traveling pants movies. 

Blackish was not that great this year. The final five episodes were not funny and were depressing and this whole “marriage problem” subplot came out of nowhere. And I normally love that show.

And I know that pretty much anything that HBO runs gets nominated but Barry was so boring. I recorded it and watched the first…

Yes. And why is her wedding band above her engagement ring? Also, they don’t look like they fit well together? Not like looks-wise, like comfort-wise, do they even fit together or will they forever be rattling against each other. 

Thank you - I can see a little bit of that increasing with each year. Things that used to bother me in the past just kind of bother me a bit less. I was out on Friday and ran into three friends who were all out - without me. I think 10 years ago I would have fixated on this for weeks and now I sort of panicked…

and they write “too act” or something equally depressing. 

To me that’s a clear indication he has a terrible fucking attitude about women. I see this sometimes in online dating profiles “I don’t want a lady who swears” or “I want a woman who knows how to act like a lady” - Oh so you want someone polite and submissive who is essentially a real life Disney Princess? Go fuck…

My kids talk about this as if it’s an actual job too. I work at a college and we offer a Film/Video Production major and I said something about this to my 10 year old and he was like “So I could learn to make YouTube videos?” and I kept thinking how the department chair of that program would weep if he knew that’s…

I was in the same boat in my 20s. Not the gifted kid thing. But I had wanted to be a journalist and all of my goals were built around that. I had been student body president in college and spoke at graduation and I was kind of Big Deal and then I graduated and found a job fairly quickly . . . and I hated it. And I…

Thanks for the recommendation. I found it online as a PDF so I’m going to read that. 

That’s a good point. I didn’t mean offense in my word choice but “child-free” is a better way of putting it. 

Living a bigger life just costs so much money and it seems like there aren’t enough places out there to sit. 

Yes, the days have passed for people to say “Wow! I can’t believe she achieved that at her age!” - I’m at the age now where my achievements are expected. One of those possible Supreme Court nominees was only 4 years older than me so I feel like once you’re the same age as a possible Supreme Court nominee, you are not…
