That's not the perplexing part. This isn't live broadcast TV - you can't miss an episode. Watch episode 6 before you watch episode 7 and read the episode 7 review.

Ugh, I brought my step-mom to a standup show once (Tig Notaro) and it was the most anxiety inducing experience in my life. It's too obvious if they aren't enjoying it. Never again!

I have an irrational hatred of the "see-rup" pronunciation.

There's a discussion upthread - they misreported the statistic. Americans consume 70.8 pounds of processed tomatoes in all forms per year.
