It's not always the worst time of the year, but I remember the lead-up to Wrestlemania 31 sucking (the go home Raw ended with Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns doing a tug of war on the WWE World Championship belt. Jesus Christ…).

I don't get why Miz and Maryse are heels either. Maryse's promo last night seemed like she was speaking 100% truth, which obviously is approved and pre-scripted, but Nikki's response was basically just, "Nuh-uh! You're a liar, so why don't you come in here and fight me like a real woman?" Why would Maryse resort to

Don't worry about it, Robb. The whole "You have to be positive, unless it's one of the hosts complaining abut something, then that's perfectly fine" thing does irk me on the WWW group. I barely post there. There's a sub-group of people I actually know IRL that I'm a part of that fulfills my wrestling discussion needs

I loved Quiddlebit and the jam-guy. Very funny.

I still like MFM but I had to leave the Facebook group. Sometimes people shared interesting stories of "staying sexy" but there were so many that were clearly made up or blown out of proportion that I just couldn't hang in that group any more. And I also have never listened to a Minisode. In general, I avoid minisodes

At first I thought he was going to hand him a record of the song that he wrote that we heard played at the bar, that became a bit of a hit in Memphis.

He had already told that story of falling in love with her on the bus in an earlier episode, too.

There was a quote from the Ted Nugent "Behind the Music" almost 20 years ago where Bill Maher said something along the lines of, "I consider myself a Conservative at times, but Ted gives conservatism a bad name."

I cried so hard and so unexpectedly during the scene of William talking at Jack's tree. And then in the end when Randall casually dropped a "Dad" in the conversation on his death bed. I should have guessed when they played the audio of William saying "My beautiful boy" but didn't show the actual shot of him on the

It takes up about 2 minutes on Doughboys, and Mitch's defense of the team is fine. I'm a Pats fan, but Mitch makes the whole "This isn't symbolic of anything, it has nothing to do with the election. The best QB and best coach of all time won the game" essentially. You can skip ahead 2 minutes once they start talking

Totally understandable. Metallica is my favorite band of all time, and let's just say I'm not always on board with James Hetfield or Lars Ulrich's political or personal beliefs.

I guess I'm not of the belief that one needs to be aligned completely with all artists' beliefs in order to enjoy their work, but I can also see why it would be off-putting.

Dinklage is the only one, I think.

Don't feel like you have to qualify which Inbetweeners you're talking about. Nobody remembers the short-lived US show, for good reason.

Ben is just presenting songs from the perspective of a character or narrator. He's not necessarily advocating for the character or saying "Be like this guy." It's okay to write a song from the perspective of a flawed character, isn't it?

Her just saying "I know," back to Don, I'm tearing up right now just thinking about it. Then his call with Peggy is so devastatingly beautiful.

It's much funnier than I was ever expecting.

My friend's mom posted on Facebook the other night, "Watching This Is Us! Please don't kill Jack!" I don't think they're going to blow Jack's death (which happened before 2005, I believe?) on Episode 10 of season 1. They're gonna save that til the end of the show, I would think.

I blame Brandon Flowers. In The Killers' big hit "When You Were Young," he says "you can dip your feet every once and a little while." It's infuriating.

Yet they are still terrible at editing and inserting ads into their podcasts. Doughboys and My Favorite Murder are incredibly popular yet their production values are borderline garbage at times.
