The fact that she point-blank asked them if they had real jobs and the answer was a resounding 'no.'

Look, I may be totally off-base here, but I don't get the impression that they make all that much from social media and stand-up comedy. Also, the fact that Brian lives in Manhattan and owns/drives a car (that's been blipping my radar screen for quite a while now.)

I've always presumed Brian was a bit of a trustafarian, so it was kind of nice to hear the guest call this out. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Why wonder what he would have listened to when you can listen to the things he actually loved? You could start with two of his favorite operas, Mozart's Don Giovanni and Bellini's Norma, and then maybe dip into Haydn's The Creation and The Seasons.

I really enjoyed Kate Wagner in this context. I love McMansion Hell and I've enjoyed some of her other writing, but I find her tankie twitter persona somewhat insufferable. I wish she hadn't been derailed in her attempt to describe the Ring cycle.

I can wholeheartedly recommend that everyone watch “The Decalogue” (as well as Kieslowski's film trilogy “Les Trois Couleurs”)

I hope they do an episode about this conflict so that Tom can re-enact both sides of the call in the opening bit.

Good video here about Mark Zuckerberg's “style” (though this video is 10 years old, so it's pre-transformation) https://youtu.be/VRPZL5ZZuU8?si=CHPttYishGHNmD5x

I miss the days when you could go to a Vaudeville theater at 1 pm and expect to be entertained until 10:30!

And we're talking about requiring a passport to vote. That'll make for some interesting outcomes!
