The green beans were painted green.

Is it me or is Betsy Sodaro clearly laughing in the background during every single episode? Like she just decided to invite herself for a front row seat to all the shenanigans. I do not blame her for a second.

Well according to Scott Aukerman it is by far his most famous credit.

I didn't love his first few appearances but he really killed on the last Holiday Spectacular.

Teacher's Lounge was the best podcast of 2016 and season 2 is just as good, with the second PFT appearance being maybe the funniest episode of all. Drew Tarver absolutely losing it over Harry's Bean - I had to rewind it like eight times. Speaking of rewinding, it's also one of the most re-listenable podcasts ever. I'm…

He'll remain A+-list till he's dead regardless of his box office returns - he's Tom Hanks - but at this point I would love to see him in a big, dumb comedy.

I mean, it's not that the cream bastardization tastes bad per se, but it definitely doesn't taste as good as the simpler parmesan/egg sauce, so what's the point?

I just want to say I love Madonna because people here are often not so nice about her.

I recently binged Big Little Lies and every episode started with a promo for this movie that was cliched to the point of seeming like parody. Sounds like a great story squandered, which sucks.

Gentlemen, this canary died of natural causes.

Definitely check out her episode of Lauren's podcast, also her Doughboys and Questions for Lennon eps.

I love Claudia and she and I have almost identical carbonara recipes. I deglaze the pancetta with lemon. This is a great day.

I do have a problem with beautiful/successful/powerful women constantly throwing themselves at Gus - that's absurd - but I don't find the pairing of Gus and Mickey particularly unrealistic. Honestly the only part of it that is is stretch for me is that Gus doesn't have a very appealing personality, and that pains me…

My nearly 70-year-old mom loves Colbert, watched the Report religiously, but only started watching him again recently. She was definitely not feeling the first year or whatever of the Late Show.

That's a nice suit. It's almost Hannibalesque.

It touched on all of those things, actually. And the one thing that really did strike me was one of his friends asking something like "why did he ever let himself get down to one dog?" I've had the same cats most of my adult life and the oldest died in November, and thank god he wasn't my only cat because I don't…

Well, him cutting himself off from people with whom he's had decades-long relationships is a bit troubling. Withdrawing from public life, who cares? He has every right to do that and if it were only that it wouldn't be worrying at all, really. So I do understand the extra level of interest, but I still ended up being…

I stopped when he started showing up at people's houses with a recording device turned on when they answered the door. That is some classless bullshit. Even Sarah Koenig didn't do that when she showed up at Jay's house, and he was a witness/accomplice in a murder. I suspect things actually aren't totally rosy with…

…Okay I'm now watching the Shrooms episode and have to admit this one is genuinely funny.

The bit with Gus's boss was utterly absurd and irritating, as are pretty much all of the workplace scenes on this show. They seem like they were written by people who have never had actual jobs.
