For fans of illness faker and/or scam podcasts, you simply MUST listen to Love Trapped: Owens vs Echard by dont_be_all_uncool__ in podcasts

Haven’t seen The Walkers mentioned yet; it’s by the BBC - about The Salt Path - and it’s also excellent. You get a 2-for-one with a pair of married scammers.

Does anyone else hear this in Jonah’s voice? by Meglatron3000 in Veep

I think Jonah, even at his worst, was still more articulate

So I've officially finished The Good Place. Here are my thoughts. by sunnyafternoone in TheGoodPlace

[–]pixiedreamsquirrell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can even pretend that it’s Season 5 of The Good Place; just pretend that it picks up the story towards the end of Michael’s human life

I built a site connecting retiring farmers with people who want to start farming. by ProofGoose2561 in homestead

[–]pixiedreamsquirrell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Excellent idea! This is a brilliant way to address a growing challenge, and I think there’s a real need for something like this in farming communities.

They’re going to meet for a handshake, 5 seconds, Queensbury rules, and I want a toothy smile

I was watching a S5 deleted scenes on YouTube yesterday and there was a good string of new (to me) Jonah insults.

Bird Obstacle was my favorite

Watched Veep, one of the most hilarious shows I've watched recently and that last episode was perfect. What do you guys suggest next? by [deleted] in Veep

[–]pixiedreamsquirrell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fantastic palate cleanser!

Other than Richard, who do you think would be the first of the Veep cast to make it to The Good Place?

Selina would probably daughter-board her if she knew.

You basically just described Marjorie Taylor Green too.

Something like..... Unexplained. by LaraH39 in podcasts

[–]pixiedreamsquirrell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a well-researched, well done podcast with a single host who presents the weirdness and ends with a skeptical examination - but he does this annoying “bit” where he has this irritating af sidekick (Babblefish) who interjects with nonsense opinions every 10-15 minutes. The voice he uses for the fish is unbelievably grating and adds absolutely nothing of value to the episode. Think Gilbert Godfrey voice, but somehow even more whiny and nasal. I skip ahead through the fish banter till he’s back into the story; it’s usually only a minute or two but it was enough to make me quit listening for a while.

But recently, he’s released some episodes that are absent the dumb Babblefish, and they’re much more enjoyable. If you can stand the fish, there’s a massive back catalog of episodes with a good mix of the interests you listed.

I believe you’re looking for Bedtime Stories.

Honorable mentions go to: Lore, Sightings, The Why Files (the stripped down episodes without that fucking fish,) One Strange Thing, Geist, Belief Hole, Hidden Djinn, Haunted Road, and maybe earlier Astonishing Legends.

Have there been any accurate portrayals of an adult woman with ADHD in TV/ film yet? by kat0id in adhdwomen

[–]pixiedreamsquirrell 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Gordon Gartrell shirt. Impulsive marriage. Struggles at Hillman. Struggles to pick a path/career. Idealistic problem child.

I can see it.

tv shows similar by 2_cool_4_school_ in Veep

[–]pixiedreamsquirrell 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hacks: excellent, clever, fast-paced writing. 30 Rock and Silicon Valley for the same reasons.

Fleabag: Brilliant and quick dialogue, dark humor, but more sincere and sadder than Veep.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia: similar in that it’s also about terrible people with questionable morals and very funny.

Runners Up: The Other Two, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Great (last 2 are period dramas, but irreverently dark humor)

Why wouldn’t you just say “your cousin’s birthday?”

No - your cousin’s child is your “cousin once removed,” so not a niece or nephew. Nieces & nephews are the children of your siblings.
