I genuinely do want to see Dr. Oz use a knife to cut up carrots into stick-form. I feel like there’s a lot we can learn about him there.

I'm not sure what Wegner's normally carries, but what he was grabbing were not the "super-tender early chutes" that the asparagus plant sends up.  I think he just grabbed for it because asparagus is normally more expensive than things like "celery" or "cucumbers" or "bell peppers."

The low key funniest part for me is that he reaches for the asparagus (a thing that is always spendy out of season) for a crudités. Barring the very tenderest early season asparagus (not available in August), you will always want to blanch asparagus for your veggie tray at which point it no longer counts as crudités,…

My sincere belief is that soup, like a hotdog, is a sandwich.

I mean, the length of a game question is not totally unreasonable. At various points in your life you will have more or less money to spend on discretionary entertainment. If you’re at a low point, a game that you spend $60 on and you finish in a weekend and don’t think this is something you want to revisit is a…

The convenient thing is that they can just forget Barry Allen exists and cast someone else as Wally West. Much like we can forget about Hal Jordan because of that Ryan Reynolds movie, but there’s Kyle, John, Guy, Simon, and Jessica available to take up the mantle.

I take issue with the “why is there pumpkin spice in this” in terms of things that exist only to make things smell nice. Pumpkin spice is just cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove (sometimes also allspice) and those are all nice smells, separately or together.

I mean I have the Netflix App on my phone but I've never used it since I feel like Netflix as a streaming service is more for stuff you want to sit down and pay attention to than “junk food to occupy your time” (that’s Hulu’s gig.)

It was my understanding that Bridget was initially forced to be in “girl mode” in public as a survival tactic because of plot nonsense. Which has sort of raises uncomfortable questions about “was Bridget made trans because of her parent’s choices rather than their own?” Because in reality you can’t make someone trans…

But like cows and chickens are farmed and those get parasites.  Do worm farmers have to deworm their worms?

So on Fear Factor (remember when that was what Joe Rogan was doing?) when they had the competitors eat a bunch of earthworms, were they using special earthworms that did not have parasites?

I’m pretty sure that the worst part of Borderlands 3 was the refusal to foreground the retired vault hunters from Borderlands 2 instead making the initial quartet (minus one) the most important people in the setting.

Listen all of y’all, this is arbitrage.

The whole "Shrek food" phenomenon is weird when you consider that the sine qua non of Shrek is "he's gross"and the most identifiable foodstuffs with the eponymous ogre is "onions."

The two I go with are "red sauce and meatballs with pasta" at an Italian joint and "Pad Thai" at a Thai restaurant, thinking that if you can't get that right there's no hope.

The sense I got is that it was on Hulu so they could swear as much as they wanted, but this is a solvable problem for broadcast.

Cupcakes and ice cream were examples of things where sprinkles are normal.  Sprinkles on pancakes, on a shrimp cocktail, on a hamburger, on grilled asparagus, on oatmeal are all unwelcome.

What was the first really successful “corporate stunt food”?  I want to say “the KFC Double Down”.

Basically anytime anything has sprinkles on it when it’s not a thing that normally has sprinkles on it (e.g. cupcakes, ice cream) that’s a red flag.

My hot take is that a movie called “Dungeons and Dragons” requires a meta-element (like the Lego Movie) because “D&D” is not a setting or a story, it’s either a rule system or a social activity.  You get together with your friends to play Dungeons and Dragons using (for example) the 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons…
