If you get a serendipitous curly fry or onion ring in your regular order of fries, it means that you are the chosen one, plus you will also receive seven years of good luck.

"I suppose you're wondering why we call them The Andes."

I think about this line a lot, and sometimes I notice myself saying it out loud a little bit.

This is already one of my favorite episodes of the show. Bits aside, this gives you a pretty good idea how thrilling it is talk with John Siracusa for a couple hours. Anyway. www.relay.fm/rd/270

I love listening to John Siracusa talk about his relationship with his house. overcast.fm/+E5IN1OdCA

I just realized that the psychologist who interviews Jamie in that one episode of "Adolescence" is also the sassy 1960s Princess Anne on "The Crown." I am slow about these things, but just to point out that Erin Doherty rules. www.imdb.com/name/nm87329...

Behind-the-Scenes material on "The Crown" may be my love language. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxFl...

It's okay if you forgot how great Superchunk is. You can hop back in any time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgaZ...

The new Sloan record is out. I like it a LOT. Sloan - "Based on the Best Seller" (2025) www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I don't wanna big-time you guys, but I've watched enough very long videos about theme parks to say Kevin Perjurer is the best in the biz. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2L-...

You have to hunt around a little to find em, but Netflix has a bunch of good YT videos about the stories behind "The Crown." The one on the 1966 Aberfan disaster is fascinating and, unsurprisingly, devastating. (Cf. The Crown - "The Aberfan Disaster" - s03e03) www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSWI...

We talked about computers a little in this one. Also: compulsory nude swimming, trampoline camp, Stephen King, and the underreported psychopathology of John and Merlin's profound exposure to Lead. [this is a good one] www.relay.fm/rd/270

Here's the great Richard Poe reading that one section from "Blood Meridian" by Cormac McCarthy.

Speaking of St. Jude, I sure do love Delta. What a swell little kid. www.youtube.com/shorts/9Tp8g...

The new @recdiffs.bsky.social episode arrives later today. We liked it and we want you to like it too, so we're including the member section where we talk about how much Siracusa and I used to enjoy playing with literal Lead. The episode's 140 minutes long. Watch this space. www.relay.fm/rd

Here's that Rik Mayall movie I was telling Alex about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3RX...

This is a pretty good intro to why I love WILTY. youtu.be/jIlvMkq71cE?...

San Francisco had an earthquake at 3am, so I did today's Roderick on the Line on 3 hours of sleep. And it really shows. [this is a good one] overcast.fm/+BmEOhrjWQ

This is YLNT in difficult mode, and it's one of my favorites. overcast.fm/+AAYxDPASJj8

Scott and I disagreed about why his father danced with unattractive strangers, but this is still one of my favorite episodes. You Look Nice Today - "The Tux Age" (September 2, 2008) overcast.fm/+AAYxDNlLMOM

I somehow can't persuade Chris Molanphy to undertake a manageable and very respectful parasocial relationship with me, but his show about pop charts and rock-era history is *absolutely* one of my favorite things. Here's his terrific episode about where Rockpile came from. slate.com/podcasts/hit...

“Torn in Half:” A Gentle Introduction to Rockpile I could try to describe what Rockpile managed to pull off, but you'd never believe me. open.spotify.com/playlist/4ax...

Rockpile was a special band. 1. This is a LIVE recording. 2. Please consider staying for Terry's drum fills at the end. 3. If I had a Riddler suit that fit me well, I would wear it a lot. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEpr...

The government called and they said it's your night to rewatch my favorite music documentary, "Born Fighters" (1979). www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0m0...

@globalhermit.bsky.social Just ran across some old photos and thought fondly of you. 🥲 #yyz

I'd like to be this horse's friend. I feel like it'd be good for both of us.

A Gentle Introduction to Guided by Voices is probably my white whale playlist. It would definitely include this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuMW...
