Best editing job yet, and I swear I don't just say that every episode. I loved the stock video interlude so much.

One thing that helped me lessen my phone addiction was to stop using Twitter's mobile site or app, and instead using an app that cuts down on what it's been showing me (Twitterrific). It never shows me the people I follow liking something, or who they follow, etc. I'm pretty good at unfollowing in general, but the changes to Twitter over the years just made it impossible to not get exposed to doomy stuff. Baby steps to getting off social media forever, hopefully (I deleted Facebook in 2018).

BEEF

@crashtanuki: You may be thinking of the off-brand version "Kid's Pop", which of course Jeff G. enlightened us all to a few years back. It's... terrible.

For my money, the worst song Kidz Bop themselves has covered is "Lips of an Angel", which is of course a song about cheating on your spouse over the phone. The one change they made was altering "hard to be faithful" to "hard to be grateful", which uhhh may actually make things worse? At least they had the foresight to barely feature the children in that song.

EDIT: My first adult album that I listened to front-to-back was Duncan Sheik's self-titled debut. I was very cool.

@hammondoftexas: Same thing happened to me. I checked all episodes and it looks like a ton of episodes claim to have been uploaded on March 27th? Very strange, but I hope whatever’s going on gets sorted.

This episode was immense by a wide country mile!

Maybe I’m just in a good mood, but this was my favorite episode yet. Lots of laugh-out-loud moments, but I think Jess’ hallway joke got me the most. Can’t wait to see the parts of the game I never got around to.

RIP the hammer tho

RE: kid's first game - the first thing my daughter (2) played was Goat Simulator. She was delighted that she could make the goat move and jump when she commanded it. Something where there aren't any stakes like that is probably best for a first, I think.

Honestly, I could have kept listening to Jordan recite Chris Gaines facts for another couple of hours. This might have been my favorite episode yet, especially the reading of Gaines' bio and everyone ripping on Jordan after he removed the wig.

As for how I'm going to listen to the album, let's just say I was on Ebay this morning.

"Dude, Hoobastank is the future of rock" is going to sustain me for months. Thank you.

EDIT: I am fully bought into the Kaufman Scale and have experienced this very phenomenon at my local grocery store.

@demoniccore: I’ve had this issue since early October on my very old (2009) iMac. I haven’t updated the OS for years because I literally can’t, and there was something like root certificates expiring for a wide variety of sites (like Wikipedia, oddly). It’s also blocking most live broadcasts, but that’s probably helped my general productivity during work hours. If you’re also using an old machine, that could be it.

Oh yeah the video game. I would say I’m intrigued by this, even if I might end up disappointed. But since it’s on Game Pass, I’m definitely going to check it out.
