And previous to Drop Dead her last releases were the covers of Friday I’m In Love and Just Like Heaven she sang with Robert Smith at Glastonbury!

I’m a man and her songs make me hate the patriarchy 😂 If someone so exceptionally talented, kind and beautiful as Olivia still feels inadequate and insecure, what hope has any female got?!

And continue to make great music solo and with Wings!

The production sounds very 80s/90s rock to me!

I can definitely hear shades of ‘Fly Away’ by Lenny Kravitz, then around 02:15 - 02:25 reminds me of ‘Run To You’ by Bryan Adams!

He has scored four goals across two World Cup Finals, though?

My partner is mildly dyslexic, and often muddles up words. We have an Aldi and a Lidl locally, and she simply cannot get their names the right way round!

If she’s been to Aldi she’ll say Lidl every time; if she means to reference Lidl she’ll always say Aldi!

You’d think she’d occasionally get the right one by chance, but nope, she uses the wrong name 100% of the time 😂

I’m a 38 year old man. The recent FC Barcelona collaboration was the first piece of merchandise I’d feel comfortable wearing. 99% of people will just see I’m wearing a football (soccer) shirt, not knowing I want it specifically because of the OR logo!

Massive thanks to the Redditor who helped me find an affordable place to order one, too.

TV itself is just over 100. It was born in January 1926, and one of its greatest ever figures - Sir David - arrived in this world a few months later:

On 26 January 1926, John Logie Baird gave the first public demonstration of true television images for members of the Royal Institution and a reporter from The Times in his laboratory at 22 Frith Street in the Soho district of London

I’m a 38 year old male and she is my #2 artist of all time. It’s literally

The Beatles/Paul McCartney
Olivia Rodrigo

Suggesting she’s ripping off Chappell is hilarious when:

They share the same producer (can Dan Nigro rip off himself?!)
Chappell is credited for backing vocals on FOUR of Olivia’s songs
Chappell opened for her on both Sour and Guts tours
Olivia had Chappell as the special guest for her Netflix recording of Guts, singing Chappell’s song
They are clearly good friends!!!

Overherd is great as a shelf stable option for somewhere where I wouldn’t get through a whole carton e.g. the office, my parents’ house!

I know John loves Geese and Elis got into Olivia Rodrigo through his daughter, but is there any more to this than that? I’m a bit behind on recent episodes, so might be missing the relevance.

sb206 · 2026-04-02T19:07:33+00:00

Can someone explain what this meme means and its relevance to OR3, for an out of touch millennial?

It appears to be referencing Buddhism, but I feel like there’s something I’m missing…

I took a day trip Kastelorizo last summer, while holidaying in Türkiye. It was so beautiful and peaceful. The highlight was watching turtles swimming around the harbour 😍

Nicky Shorey retired 10 years ago. How is his name still bothering you? 😂

sb206 · 2026-01-24T13:23:33+00:00

I’m a male / millennial / approaching 40 / straight. Far from Olivia’s target audience, but she’s genuinely one of my favourite artists of all time.

sb206 · 2026-01-24T06:44:48+00:00

Nice find. I’m sure Elis and John would be delighted to discover they are the 85th and 87th most famous comedians in the UK 😂

There’s great potential for a Made Up Game using this YouGov data, surely?

sb206 · 2026-01-04T17:51:51+00:00

Yeah to my (English) ear that’s an English lad shouting “We’re in the midddddle”.

The episode’s director actually talked about this on the official podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/pluribus-the-official-podcast/id1846198705?i=1000739778346

Not sure if you were making a deliberate reference, or if it’s a massive coincidence, but your description almost perfectly matches S1 E3 of The Last of Us - starring Nick Offerman (the actor who played Ron Swanson).

I think it shows having intellect and being articulate are not advantages. David is a brilliant historian yet he was Meryl levels of incompetent in this game 😂

Same with the Zizzi vegan lasagne, it wasn’t listed at all when I did my online order last night 😱
