We've really been spoiled by CBB over the last few months. I haven't liked the b-b-b-bonus-s-s-s episodes thus far in 2015 (excepting the Tig Notaro-Wild Horses live show from SXSW), but this is the first Monday all year where I've updated my podcast feed and wasn't eager to listen right away.

Drinkwel, the multivitamin supplement for people who like to drink.

Millionaire has never worked for daily syndication, despite (maybe because of) all the tweaks they've made over the years.

Is this like how Adam Sandler makes movies based on where he wants to go on vacation? Did Gore Verbinski just want to treat himself, and came with this pitch so he can do it on the studio's dime?

Anna Faris is married to a $20 million star. That's gotta count for something, right?

Jennifer Connelly was, um…quite buoyant back in the day.

Remember a few years back when Dan Fogler was the young Broadway actor/big-and-tall menswear enthusiast Hollywood seemed desperate to make a star out of? In Josh Gad's defense, I find him more tolerable than the one who preceded him.

The prizes are great; the gameplay is shit.

I dream that someday, that golf ball flips around to say, "Hole in One…or Tough Shit!" Immediately cue the losing horns.

There's also the general assumption that white-collar professionals are less likely to think too hard about the prices of basic consumer goods than the young, the elderly, or the working class. I don't see the average doctor or engineer comparison-shopping different brands of dishwasher liquid.

Drew's weight yo-yoed for a while in the 2000s. He lost a lot of weight after having heart surgery (noticeable in later "Whose Line" tapings where he wore a bow tie), gained it all back in the period between the end of his sitcom and the start of his TPiR gig (if you've heard stories about the end of his sitcom, I

TPiR Rule #4: If given digits to select for a pricing game featuring a car, the price always ends in 5 or 0.

The NBA never banned dunking; the NCAA banned dunking in a preemptive attempt to prevent Lew Alcindor and Lew Alcindor from dominating the college game. The future Kareem developed the sky-hook, and UCLA proceeded to win 10 NCAA titles in 12 years before the ban was lifted.

It could be worse: she could be the fourth-most-famous Michelle Williams.

Cookie Monster, is that you?

This news won't make me feel old until I see a Beyoncé waitressing at a sports bar.

I'm easily amused by anyone who can do a Harry Caray impression, so when Middleditch randomly dropped one four minutes into the p-cast, I was prepared for whatever direction he wanted to go.

"NYC Cops" was left off the North American release of the album, sure enough. As thus, I can't relate.

That's…embarrassing.
