  • Off the deep end

    I guess she was always weird but lately she’s become a weird center-right-winger, so I’m done. Odd that she chose the party that hates her whole identity.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alison's Irritating Voice, Garon's Michigan Trip, Hairpin Drops
Q: How did your trip home go?
Garon says the trip was mostly good, but seeing his father in a care facility with health problems and unusual behavior was jarring; a later visit found his father acting more like himself.
Alison's Irritating Voice, Garon's Michigan Trip, Hairpin Drops
Q: How did you feel about the film about Elizabeth Holmes?
The group had mixed reactions: Tony and Alison found it riveting but questioned Holmes's sincerity, while Garon found it boring and felt its crafted presentation did not seem realistic.
Tony's Tummy Muscles, Daniel's Defeated Demeanor, Spooky Sniff Chat
Q: How do you squeegee a windshield?
Vince recommends working at a slight angle toward the edge of the car, flicking off excess water and wiping each section before moving to the next to avoid streaks.
Janie Haddad Tompkins
Q: How did you meet Paul?
Janie met Paul through friends she made while waiting tables in Los Angeles. They first connected at a Sunday-night salon, remained friends through early false starts, and began dating seriously in 2005.
Tony's Tummy Muscles, Daniel's Defeated Demeanor, Spooky Sniff Chat
Q: What was the primary emotion you felt coming out of it?
Alison says the Nathan Fielder documentary left her confused and unsettled as she tried to make sense of Elizabeth Holmes, but she ultimately concluded Holmes was not acting in good faith. She found the film engrossing and worth watching.
