I didn't wanna hear that!" I never thought I'd hear a nerdy podcast host get angry about another nerd for talking about their childhood. Let's be real, that's like 20% of Talking Simpsons! Nearly every episode starts like that!

2025-05-02 06:13:47 +0000 UTCIt’s funny because I generally enjoy being a critical/skeptical type person, but this Switch 2 discourse is being driven by so much negativity that I feel like I’m being pretty positive about the console. Of course I still failed the preorder QTE. These days I’ve been playing my Vita on the train and pretending it’s the Switch 2.

2025-05-01 03:15:16 +0000 UTCI got to see a comedy show at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in 2014 that included Brian Posehn, Mary Lynn Rasjkub, James Adomian (the first time I'd heard of him, he killed), and Demetri Martin who absolutely BOMBED. And not in a funny way either, in a "get mad at the audience for being dead silent" kind of bomb. The Dia De Los Muertos festival they do there was also absolutely fantastic, one of my favorite memories of LA.

2025-05-01 00:54:40 +0000 UTCMo Collins did not just join the voice acting game like her MADTV alumni, she's actually been doing it since 1999. I believe she has been more of a bit player or "additional voices" type actress cause she can lend her goofy voice to lots of one offs. Her most consistent role would be playing a Jimbo style bully in Michael Price's "F is for Family." When I saw she was taking the mantle of Jimbo, she was perfect. She has a great husky voice for an awkward pre-pubescent or a Midwest mom. I look forward to when you guys cover that show in a decade or so.

2025-05-01 00:03:48 +0000 UTCI grew up in New Hampshire, so the sex ed class was as Henry described. I now live in Massachusetts so pretty liberal. Our school system is already one of those that has vowed not to discriminate against trans students or allow ICE officials into schools without a warrant so my kid is probably getting the most progressive version of this subject a 10 year old is going to get. And I was surprised at how plain spoken the video was which was not shy about just discussing puberty. It basically just stops short of explaining how reproduction takes place and only makes vague statements about bodies getting prepared to be able to reproduce, which seems fine to me at this age. I remember that stuff coming in high school. They do still allow parents to opt out of this curriculum, but I don't know how popular an option that is.
