I'm unclear on the relative ages of these characters. I think I think she's younger than she is and he's older than he is.

I like how bad it is and how much she overuses it once she finds out people like it. She's just kind of a crappy person — not a horrible monster, just a regular-ass self-absorbed ding-dong — and that makes the show so much better than if she was a plucky hero or a complete psycho.

Part of the pitch I use to tell people they should watch this show is that the wrestling is so well staged and shot that I actually found myself on the edge of my seat watching it by the end of the season.

In an interview with Conan, he said that he ended up contributing a lot to the character since (unlike the writers) he was the one with the experience being a kind of sleazy, horny cokehead.

Yep, I loved the tone. It seemed very carefully modulated. A lot of dramatic stuff happens but there weren't any episodes that felt like a gut punch. But there also weren't any comedy bits that were so stupid they made the situation feel less believable. Maybe the cocaine robot, but that honestly seems like the kind…

Ah, maybe.

Phil was funny on 30 Rock so I'll check it out. Thanks!

Fun Fact: they're brothers. Apparently Rick got all the talent.

I feel like once you're making taquitos you might as well make a bean taquito, but I'd be interested in a potato taquito too.

Yeah, most of my experience watching that show was being in the room when my roommate was watching it, and she'd occasionally say "this is good" and I'd watch a scene, or I'd just be interested in what was happening. So I've probably completely ignored the shitty parts of a lot of episodes.

I do think his Sardinia episode was good despite being kind of like that, but I think it was justified since his wife is from there.

Bourdain is at his best when he's just eating and talking to the people who made the food. All of the best No Reservations episodes are food-heavy. I think he even did some special episodes where he visited places he knew well and just concentrated on highlighting the best stuff to eat — I know there was one for New…

The problem with this take for me is that, like you said, Fieri doesn't actually do anything to stake out more respectable territory for "common" American food. He doesn't try to carve out a place for it in fine dining like Rick Bayless did for traditional Mexican food. He doesn't collect and demystify traditional…

I remember they tried to do it with Alton Brown. It failed for two reasons. First, it was called "Feasting On Asphalt", which makes me think of "feasting on ass", and it's hard to watch Alton Brown when you have an erection. Second, Alton Brown in a leather jacket going to diners is just the most mismatched casting…

Sorry about your mouth :(

Dandle it, even.

Well, it's not quite a car, and it's not quite a pickup, but man…

The texture is great. Dense and creamy. Like if butter was a fruit.

There are already food youtubers who do this.

That's true in French (avocat) but in Spanish it's aguacate. It's true in a few other European languages too, and it has something to do with the naming of the Dutch liqueur advocaat.
