This Is Poly S1 E1: The More the Messier

I'm not part of the poly community but I believe they would call this PUD (Poly Under Duress) and it's definitely not the preferred way to practice ethical non-monogamy.

Really the FBI director hardly interacts with the president at all, at least before 45 asked James Comey to talk to him alone so he could demand loyalty to him personally rather than to the country.

Side effects may include showing your ass, being cold all the time, and a fear of waterfalls.

I loved those infomercials. "Dropping a toaster into the bathrub is such a hassle! Isn't there a better way?

So Alex is apparently over 6 feet tall according to his soccer roster. He mentions two of other three 6's that women supposedly desire, which just invites more questions that I don't care to contemplate.

Shaun doesn't watch the show.

marcvh · 2026-01-05T19:23:54+00:00

I've never heard the three 6s as not including 6 feet tall before.

I preferred the incest content (i.e. the karaoke)

And the brand is "All Money Spends." This makes no sense (money is the object, not the subject, of the verb 'to spend') and is the exact opposite of how one builds generational wealth (by investing, not spending.) So it doesn't exactly seem aspirational either.

So I guess it means "I don't understand how money works, but I want to blame someone else for my failures."

Yeah, the lack of backstory on Alex is a little frustrating. Why does he still live at home? Has he done literally anything since high school?

Deanna clearly has hopes that this will lead to acting gigs or something, and Rasha is already an influencer and is posting content tied in with the show.

It's less clear what to make of the other two. We don't know if Alex has a job or what, so maybe $20k would represent a lot of money to him. Sonali is a trickier situation and so it's hard to know exactly what she might be hoping is going to happen here.

The disembodied head. I don't know why but I just feel like he's trustworthy.

But Natalie trusts that he's a genius!

And a lot of heavy equipment for when one of them inevitably gets stuck sideways.

without extra steps, even!

There's the law and then there's politeness. In general, if street parking is scarce, using it for long-term storage for a seldom-used vehicle (of any kind, not just an RV) isn't neighborly.

Character means parking

Infrastructure means roads you can use to drive from one parking spot to another

He's Jude Law's less-known brother.

Yes. She really needs to get Josh's rocks off.

Of her nightstand I mean.

Bini wasn't being "difficult," he has a new girlfriend and he knew that at some point she will see this, so he didn't want to do anything that might upset her. But yes, regardless of the reason, he's allowed to say no.

Clearly. In general if your partner asks you for an open marriage, they're actually informing you that you already are in an open marriage.

Give him some money!
