  1. Enjoyed it! Hopefully S2 has more episodes.
  2. Like a pound cake. Basically most of our cakes in the US
  3. Helo's cavalier attitude and strong opinions about stuff he doesn't know is... actually a bit amazing.
  4. Season 2 renewed. Apparently S1 covers half of the first book.
  5. Lost coast is really affordable and gorgeous with very linited scattered pockets of hopelessness, decline meth/opiods. No different than Texas coast of other places in my experience, and in some ways better people in the small towns. SF is really bad for petty crime and theft right now but I grew up in Houston in the 80s. To me it's overblown. Homeless issue is out of hand, but if I was homeless anywhere in the US I'd take free bus fair to Cali for the weather. Urban camping paradise. I lived out in the bay area for nearly 10 years. I don’t disagree with anything you’ve said. I just remember my first roadtrip up there shattering my myth of everything is perfect in the state. But some of those old lumber towns….yech.
  6. Even as you drive north, past wine country on the way up to the Oregon border... it's still really beautiful. But also some really depressing dead/dying towns. Where hearing banjos playing in the background seems appropriate.
  7. Summer... when I re-learn to get up early to run. I guess there are some benefits.
  8. Couldn’t make it through a random episode of the podcast in the past, but this documentary was really enjoyable. Really enjoy their dynamics with each other.
  9. Maybe we should er… work in some stretching/yoga into the team’s routine.
  10. <shrug> eh you got me on misusing the phrase
  11. Drunk driver in a company vehicle nearly killed my brother in an accident. Buzbee represented my brother and got a nice settlement out of it. This was back when he still practiced in Friendswood. That's about all the nice things I can think about the guy—seems like he's really developed illusions of grandeour of his political abiility/clout in Houston.
  12. Reminds me of the bay area a few years back when they had all the wild fires raging. Felt like I was walking around on another planet in a sci-fi movie.
  13. That doesn’t sound as fun these days…
  14. Second half of this season saved it for me. Last few episodes were very satisfying as a fan. +1 for someone that didn't really think Derka's critique was all that egregious either, but he does have that Derak-je ne sais quoi that some of y'all can't avoid like catnip.
  15. I honestly did not have the show is woke, as a critique…
  16. Yeah, I'm so used to this from other shows that I actually enjoyed the Lasso version.
  17. No dobut, but are we not part of the fanbase as well?
  18. So... would a Chinese pork belly bun be considered a sandwich?
  19. Wasn't there a big deal made about how he slimmed down after going to the Dodgers?
