Ugh, my grandmother makes this—it's essentially just summer egg nog, and no less disgusting. I'm proud to be Danish-ish for lots of reasons. Koldskaal is not one of them.

I'm near giving up. Six wins, then a 16-1 loss to the Phillies, a team I hate more than any other (even more than your precious precious Giants you NorCal jerks)? Baseball has betrayed me and summer is basically ruined.

Oh my god, baby boy Robyn is my new favorite person, second only to 80s mom Robyn

Plus, people only seem to notice when feminists critique other women. Which is exactly why we need feminism!!

Genuinely curious: What's rubbing you the wrong way? Is it that they're insulting her rather than educating her?

Those fucking guys. Ugh. Also, never invite those people to weddings—they will take the mic from the DJ and harmonize to a Billy Joel song. 

"Los Angeles had riots and a fire and flood and a drought and a recession, and now we hear the thud/ Of a quake, a quake!"

I'm pretty sure cargo shorts have regret woven directly into the fabric.

The June/Jason/Paul dynamic is a strong contender for best of any podcast.

I mean, of course you're right: There's gonna be lots of male relatives on this list, and my answer is also probably my classic-film-loving father. But, serious question: Why is this so gendered?

Sorry, Larry Sanders Show, but the single greatest piece of television about Northridge was Animaniacs' "A Quake!" song. Of course, my opinion might be colored by the fact that I was 8 in 1994. 

Sometimes the line between cat lady and strong independent modern woman is disturbingly fine.

I liked the Jeong/Trejo contrast a lot. Maron is to Ken Jeong what Danny Trejo is to Maron.

Crushing on Jess was so much a part of my adolescence, I can't even think of him as a character outside of my teenage head. I would dream about running into him in a coffee shop somewhere—we'd be reading the same subversive book by some brooding male author I was into at that time, and he'd just feel the need to ask…

Because the world deserves as much of Aaron Tveit's face as possible?

YES

Love it, but I don't know if it counts if the interloper is a protagonist.

Oh this is a great suggestion!

Eddie (played by Adam Goldberg) in Friends as Chandler's new roommate when Joey moves out. He occupies a strange place in the show, holding a mirror up to the gang's complete oddness while being a total crazy person himself. Plus, he had a pet goldfish cracker!

Totally agreed. Felt disjointed and lacked the symbolism and sweeping theses that keep me coming back to Mad Men.
