Al’s eaten the finest of Uruguayan cuisine as we learned on this episode. Also we discussed what it would be like if turtles were on reality shows, everyone’s experience playing the recorder in grade school and Alison’s secret love of the recorder, Nibbles’s real name, our hot new mailbox, voiceover technique, The Jinx and Making a Murderer, whether being best friends suggests exclusivity, weird dreams and we took your questions over Twitter. Plus we did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and talked about an available dog named Rufus.

Here’s Rufus:
Wow Alison that dream is truly something else
WRT Daniel’s theory on imagination and horror films. I have a similar theory on TV. I basically can’t watch fictional TV. I can’t suspend disbelief. But I also have a good imagination. I think my BS detector is just so sensitive that I need almost Terrence Malick cinematography and Michael Mann direction to be able to stand fiction. I can barely stand Spielberg or Scorsesi. I’m basically left waiting for the next Chris Nolan film.
But wait, there’s more. You know about 15 years ago we started getting these commercials where some chick would take a bite of a York Peppermint Patty and suddenly she imagines she is a super model on a sail boat? Then she’d snap out of it and she’s back sitting in her cubicle. I can’t stand those commercials and now it seems like they are half the commercials. I think it means the people who like TV fiction have a weak Chinese wall between their imagination and their reality perception or something like that.
I personally wear slippers all the time so I don’t injure doggies. (Dogs get underfoot!) I don’t enforce this rule for others.
What a great episode with a wide variety of interesting topics, as usual. I’m not a big fan of stopping the show to decide if a (funny) joke is racist/sexist, but whatever.
I’m not the one who may receive 100 angry tweets from those with not much else to do…
If I were on social media, I would absolutely follow the#AL. Maybe not on grinder. In some ways, I often consider him the most interesting of the bunch. I really enjoy Greg on the show. I find his blood feud with the dead-eyed 22 yr olds at the local juice shop to be endlessly fascinating. In his absence, however, I enjoy rest of the gang stretching out a bit and contributing more. Jeff gets a lot of love for his drops, but I also think he’s also very quick witted, and knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics.
For those who like scary movies, but not gore, check out these movies.
The Babadook(Netflix)
The Cabin in the Woods(Some gore, but funny. No longer on Nextflix, but worth sending away for)
I appreciated Greg saying hello, but I agree it wasn’t his finest work. Perhaps he could get Jack Rogers to help him punch it up?
