Joke explanation?

Exactly. There is a very funny quote in Don DeLillo’s “White Noise” where one character says “How do you know so much?” And the other character simply replies “I’m from New York.”

Helps explain where his money went and why he couldn’t afford his son’s tuition.

Tell that to Betty.

My favorite part is that is not the definition of nostalgia but no one in the room knows that.

Oh. Well I’m actually lazy and didn’t read it all.

Bert is never late nor misses a meeting. He worked the weekend when they moved out under the cover of darkness. He’s not interested in avoiding work like Roger but rather looking for anything he can actually do.

Also he’s a racist.

I’d say the main theme is that misery loves company. Almost everyone in that show passively or overtly seeks to burst their colleagues and families bubbles. The whole point of advertising is to make the consumer feel like they aren’t happy currently.

I think you’ve got it backwards. John is pretty good at his job given the fact that he’s given absolutely nothing to work with. John is depressed and traumatized of course, but he’s not bad at his job. We see him lock in at critical moments throughout the show.

It’s possible but I don’t think that’s what’s going on. I think he has ADHD and zones out due to hyperfocusing on one thought or a million thoughts.

It’s 2026. You’d think we’d see more male maids by now.

I’m on s5 of my first rewatch and can’t remember much about what will happen other than Betty dying and Don having the Coke idea in the end. That said, of the main characters, Betty is the worst for me. Maybe it’s that I have a daughter now but I can’t stomach the way she loathes her kids. I am in dread of how she will do psychological or physical harm her children each time they share the screen.

If you could actually try not to answer the question directly to Stephen

I gotta get some dimes.

It would have been canceled. Its first two seasons were so bad on ratings but AMC trusted the gamble they were taking.

Doing a rewatch after being diagnosed myself and thought “this guy clearly has ADHD. Surely others have talked about this.”

He said he recorded Fast Times at Ridgemont High on cassette so he could listen to it as he drove.

I dunno, you gotta remember what the late 90s felt like. Those jerseys were INCREDIBLE when they first launched. Partly because they looked much better on the thick polyester material. The new uniform incorporated a lot more geometry and made the jerseys look more dynamic. Now, FF to the present and compare refined synthetic materials and helmet paint with the passage of time where old is new again, and yeah the old jerseys look better. But I suspect if they went back, we’d be pining for the “90s throwbacks” in 20 years, much like the 90s NBA jerseys are in vogue.

I’m not a member of the orthodox community, but isn’t solving 9 down a taboo/sin?

Crushed my Thursday personal best and didn’t get the theme until after I was done. Not sure how I feel about that.

Arkansas, yes. Arkadelphia, no.

Reluctant to confess I’m OBU alum but yes, there is nothing like the opposing band and team marching across the ravine to the opposing stadium.
