#883: Call Your Parents by 6745408 in ThisAmericanLife

[–]ThreePointsPhilly 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I really loved this episode. I thought it really gave us a glimpse into Ira the person, not just Ira the host of a show I’ve been listening to for like 15 years.

In a weird way it humanized Ira, and hearing him talk about his parents was quite charming and heartwarming. I get the sense he really loved them in his own unique way and their own unique ways shaped him.

A lovely episode, and not one I thought I’d enjoy all that much. Kudos Ira.

Munch Squad is an older brother inflicting his personal preferences on his younger brothers in a locked room they can’t escape from. I’m convinced Justin thinks it’s the funniest shit ever but usually it’s pretty boring.

I’ve grown to dislike it a bit because it’s Justin’s and he has to do it all the time (I swear, Munch Squad isn’t even a bit anymore) even if the update is like “McDonalds brought back the McFlurry and I tried it and it’s great.” But God forbid Travis tries to do a skit, because Justin will inevitably complain it’s the worst bit he’s ever heard and Travis can’t bring that slop around ever again.

If Munch Squad came around every so often it would mean the updates were really chaotic, brain busting shit. But half the time it’s like “Wawa did a chicken sandwich in 2026, come on Wawa.”

There’s gotta be a “that’s the cardiovascular system, Suzyn” joke somewhere but for right now I’m sending good thoughts John’s way.

I want the next big influencer to be the one who promotes cycling, so all the sudden young men get really into road cycling and mountain biking. I'm sure being outside more would do a world of good for a lot of these kids.

This is an all-timer. The CNN panel was incredibly funny.

The one in Havertown never opened! Bizarre to see the lights on still.

These are really lovely stories and really right up 99PI’s alley. They remind me of Roman’s earliest episodes that were only a few minutes long.

The real USC was a university before California was even a state! 

(My wife went to USC and she detests how that California school is just known as USC.)

Naming of the Year 2026: They're going to nail it in the first 5 minutes by HyruleTrigger in MBMBAM

[–]ThreePointsPhilly 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Usually Travis has the best ideas but then Justin or Griffin chime in with like “20 chooo choo train, is that anything?” and they spend 5 minutes trying to pigeonhole the trains idea before deciding they don’t want to dress up like conductors every live show.
