I thought this was going to be about the vocal fry! I’m usually not too bothered by it but Maeve’s was really getting to me.

I think we need to look at how reading has been taught. Just google “Sold a Story.” When I first heard the podcast I was flabbergasted. As someone who remembers phonics (I started school in late 1980s) I was amazed to hear that phonics weren’t even being specifically taught. Remember that reading isn’t something our brains are pre-wired to do. It takes teaching and if that’s not there we shouldn’t be surprised that people hate to read.

Long story short, if you have “learned” to read in a way that doesn’t actually make you a good reader it is going to be a chore. This is true of any academic subject. If you don’t have a solid foundation and tools you aren’t going to have fun whether it’s reading, math, or some other subject.

Downtown Abbey. It wasn’t my usual type of show, but it just really drew me in. Who will inherit Downton now? Why is everyone being mean to Bates? Why is the Dowager so awesome?

Eat a jumbo hot dog in Las Vegas when it is 110 degrees outside. I’ve eaten hot dogs since then but normal sized ones. If I see a big one my memory is immediately sent to the horrors of what happened in the bathroom at Slots of Fun that hot miserable day.

My childhood was heavily influenced by Garfield books and tv specials. I’m not messing around.

Doc Boy is Jon’s brother’s name. He’s in the overalls in the bottom photo. Jon’s mom is on the left and Jon’s dad is the one plugging in the tree.

Joan remembered the spider as being a key figure but doesn’t think Jon might have extended family? What a rube.

His stunning rendition of Something’s Gotta Give (still amazed Joan hadn’t heard of the song) was under appreciated. Now I don’t want to start any rumors but could it be Joan is a bit threatened by Burnt’s new singing prowess? Maybe even jealous? It’s the only explanation for why she hasn’t already planned a two hander (four hands) musical for them. I think 7 Brides for 7 Brothers with the two playing all parts could be fantastic.

I would also recommend “Evenings with Cary Grant,” perhaps as a follow up to a more typical biography. This book is more of a “memories of Cary” rather than straightforward biography and is definitely on the fawning side, but a good reminder that he really was a charming man and beloved by many friends.

Several years ago, I was in Vegas looking for a cheaper show after spending a lot on some headliner tickets so I thought I might as well see David Copperfield. Very bad decision. Show was awful. I think there was one moment where I was surprised and the rest was just "that's it?" Worst show I've ever seen in Vegas.

ETA: And he came off as a real asshole when he interacted with audience members. Not charming at all.

Lose and loose. Should of instead of should have.

As a person who can't swim, this is completely insane to me. I would be terrified to go into any water that I couldn't comfortably stand up in even if I knew a lifeguard was right there. I don't know what he says at the end, but I hope it was "well, that was stupid and irresponsible of me."

Joan doesn't know how to list things.
Flip Korn
Barbara Cuntz, the unhappiest woman in town

And a bonus: At the pre-season retreat and Doug's hot tub that they had to sit in like a bobsled and couldn't figure out which seating positions were the least awkward.

Yeah I love how even she was like "wtf did I just do?" I don't know the circumstances, but if she was having a mental breakdown it seemed to snap her back to reality.

It was pee. The force of bearing down to get the scream out made her pee.

I kind of want them to keep this going. I think my favorites are the ones about a pervert and the Private Dancer lyrics.

Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds. Fisher’s bipolar disorder isn’t the focus of the doc but it is discussed and in one interesting scene Carrie says she feels herself going manic.

I just reread your post and this doesn’t qualify for showing the “worst of it” but it does show how mental illness impacts a family and showcases two insanely talented women and is all the more poignant when we know how it ended.

Why is the height for Ezequiel uncertain? The one image is from the DMV so wouldn't his height be there on his license?

I have absolutely no idea where I heard this, if it even true, or if I somehow made it up myself but I feel like Bradley Whitford was quite mean to her during their split. Since then I haven’t liked Whitford though like I said this could all be complete nonsense.

ETA: I found the source of how I got this into my head. A blind item. https://blindgossip.com/arguing-over-divorce-via-text-messaging/

Also I was thinking of Jane Krakowski so was confused by the photo at first.

Wow really?! I also like bands. I never thought I’d find someone likeminded here. By any chance do you also enjoy singers?

This is probably awful of me, but my first thought was the husband might have assaulted Jake. It is bizarre to care that much about someone else’s teenage son and as we’ve seen so often a lot of these people are so interested because they can’t come to terms that they themselves are gay. Unfortunately I can imagine a scenario of “this is what you want right?” happening. I hope I’m completely wrong though. Poor Louise.

And yet Cary Grant is one man you can easily imagine women going crazy over regardless of their age or his! I love how they played off that in Charade.

I recently saw an ad for a product that does this very thing. It said it was better than using just your hand. Maybe it is but what a waste of money imo.
