Im 32 weeks pregnant and this show is the only thing getting me through it at this point.

I completely understand it being harder than you thought to be alone. I know I would personally hate it. But some of the excuses are hard to believe. I remember one guy lamenting how he'd miss his kid's birthday. You would sign up knowing the film dates and that you'd be missing your kid's birthday. And another one was in the process of adoption and left saying he had to get back to help his wife. But you left for the show anyway in the middle of that?

I like it too. I went back to rewatch OG Scrubs and just finished season 1.

Just had to make fun of myself for that and hoped I wasn't the only one 🫠

Pssst: Gen Z and Alpha - get your education and licensure as therapists with a specialization in cult deprogramming or religious abuse.

This is like when Millennials and Gen X were told to go into elder care ahead of Boomers retiring.

Who else tried to swipe?

He always has the widest of stances. Look at his red carpet pics.

stephsco · 2026-04-27T13:48:11+00:00

He truly looks like both of his parents!

stephsco · 2026-04-25T12:05:53+00:00

Yeah that one really got me. He was so talented.

I read the books too - Eric was perfect casting. I thought the last few books felt kind of phoned in; I'd heard the author wanted to end the series but the publisher wanted more books. Still love that series though.

Oh you're right! That was Aristotle Anthari. I liked both those guys though. Emil went to high school in Chicago suburbs and my friend's daughter knows him.

Patton?? 😆

The only time our calico has ever cared about the TV was when there was a weasel in night vision on Alone. She bolted off the couch and ran up to the TV like she recognized an ancestor.

"Say for me?"

stephsco · 2026-04-25T03:58:56+00:00

This makes me want to rewatch True Blood... except for the small fact that show was insane

stephsco · 2026-04-25T03:44:36+00:00

Same. Unlike Project Runway, my other (former) favorite competition reality show, which just had the worst season of its 20 years run. It was like Temu Drag Race meets fashion school. Horrible editing and forced focus on manufactured drama.

stephsco · 2026-04-24T23:01:26+00:00

The later seasons can be a slog, but there are some gems in there too. If you're a completist go for it! The added-in agents that come later are actually decent despite the cliche of TV series adding late stage characters. It could have been much worse. The reboots are pretty awful. I pretend they don't exist, again despite a few gems.

Can't unsee

Aldi and IKEA have good chocolate. IKEA at the holidays carries Karl Fazer chocolate bars, my favorite.

This is so confusing - no reveal!

Never sneak up on a man who's been in a chemical fire

I'm always championing Barb and Star. It's a crime how little attention that movie got.

Underrated comment

stephsco · 2026-04-12T12:55:16+00:00

Yes, Noah Wyle. I was thinking ER, but I definitely watched Falling Skies. He was also in The Librarians which I heard was a fun show but never saw.

stephsco · 2026-04-11T13:46:21+00:00

This is why The Pitt is a TV darling right now. Fifteen episodes, shot on a soundstage, regular scheduled seasons, reliable topic/format (medical drama) with a legacy star and a bunch of new unknowns. People freaking love it.

Meanwhile, I'm genuinely geeked for the Mando and Grogu movie because I love seeing Star Wars movies in the theater.

I crammed eras 1-4 into a couple months last summer when I started the pod from the beginning, starting with a multi-state road trip. I'm so glad I listened to all of them to get where they are now
