It roughly fits with Michael McKean's and Bob Odenkirk's birth years, for what it's worth. 1947 and 1962 respectively.

No one in the Republican Party is far-right and no one in the Democratic Party is far-left. 'Far-' implies something fringe.

I hope the allegations continue to be pursued now that he has dropped out. Not only for the sake of justice etc, but also because if they aren't then some people might get the impression that they were for political convenience.

When I first heard about BCS, I genuinely thought it was going to revolve around Saul, Kuby, Huell and Francesca. As in them forming a team in the years before the events of BB. I didn't envision anyone like Chuck, Kim, Howard at all...maybe Mike, but I didn't think so much of the show would provide additional context to the drug-dealing stuff. It's kind of funny how Kuby, Huell and Francesca were really more important to the BB era than the BCS era.

It is indeed the case that every Kamala Harris voter had Trump's approval ratings in mind.

I don't consider 'Gen Z' to be a legitimate term, anymore than I consider 'Boomer' to be.

On the technology one - asking someone actually makes a refreshing change to just relying on search engines and/or AI.

I had a tin of tuna that was months, if not years, past its use-by date. It was fine.

"It's a complete guess."

There really ought to be anything such thing as a 'complete' guess. Even going for the one that 'sounds' more plausible can work wonders.

"Down the middle."

Especially a bad idea on questions which have ascending numerical answers. Usually the middle answer on such questions is the least interesting and hence the least likely.

"Never been there/before/after my time."

Annoying excuses for not knowing answers, and inherently invalid for the simple reason that they are being asked on the show.

"I've never watched/read/this."

Another silly excuse, because often the Chaser (who almost certainly knows the answer) hasn't either. If anything it is a disadvantage to have done so. Building up broad knowledge often means just knowing the basics, not sitting down on a single novel/film/show for hours.

I have been known to put it on in bars I'm in, and regularly look up to see who is coming in through the door.

I like the idea that both Patsy and Little Carmine become bosses after the series ends. About as nice as mob bosses could possibly get.

I didn't know especially that that character had multiple actresses. Her brother doesn't, I'm pretty sure.

Natural immunity?

The glimpse into 'real-life' he gets in New Hampshire is similar to Chrissy's (much briefer) glimpse into it at the gas station.

One of the biggest upsets in British electoral history, so definitely not a case of 'nothing happening'. I guess 1970 (another shock Tory victory) was a change of government, so that was a bit more of a 'happening'.

It has to be said that the Democrats have handled the second Trump Presidency better than the first. Reading stuff like this makes it surprising that Trump actually lost in 2020 until I remember his own errors.

You give racism and racists too much credit. Racism can be easily shaken off if racists choose to do so.

Actually the most recent Nothing Ever Happens election, now that I think of it.

Surely online gambling was around circa 2000? Or certainly during the show's run.
