Hey @dropout.tv please make Crowd Control an hour! It's a great show, but feels really rushed with awkward cuts at the current length. Give it some breathing room!

Happy Life Day to all my friends and loved ones!

Unhinged Chrismas Movies A list of 8 films compiled on Letterboxd, including Haul Out the Holly (2022), The Most Colorful Time of the Year (2022), Christmas Mail (2010), A New York Christmas Wedding (2020) and EXmas (2023).

I'm putting together a list of absolutely unhinged/weird Hallmark-style Christmas movies to binge with Amy over the holiday, and I need suggestions! The weirder, the better!

Bonus points if it includes magic, time travel, or the supernatural.

People who constantly bring up how good Halloween III is are the spooky equivalent of folks who insist every holiday season that Die Hard is a Christmas movie; You're not wrong, but also... dear god shut up.

Me: And that's what we do at Certified Crucial!

Them: So, you're like farm to table but for merch?

Me: No, that's not... we... um...

Them: ...

Me: ...Okay, yeah, that's pretty much it.

#InternationalPodcastDay 2025.

We joined up with Arielle Nissenblatt (EarBuds Podcast Collective.)

You submitted the audio, & a shirt was born!

From English “um” & “uh” to Hindi “are vo” (अरे वो), filler words aren’t just pauses - they're the moments that make us human.

Your “um.” Now wearable.

Watching the new Gianmarco Soresi comedy special, and I have one issue.

How can this spindly-ass man dancing around the stage and oozing theater kid energy in a BOB FOSSE SHIRT be straight!?

It feels like stolen valor, frankly. Good special, though. Really funny!

How Comedy Was Destroyed by an Anti-Reality Doomsday Cult YouTube video by The Elephant Graveyard

I finally watched this after multiple suggestions, and it's worth a watch. It hits on how detrimental the manosphere has been to our culture and where it comes from.

I wanna be in the room "when it happens."

Watching Hamilton while fascists dismantle our government just hits different.

Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.

I just realized my friends could very accurately determine every time I poop or go to bed based on when they receive TikToks from me.

Lately, running a company has me feeling like an actual adult. Then I find Nerf darts on the floor in the bathroom and realize I (thankfully) have a way to go.

If I ever start a spooky sunglasses company, it will be called VISIGOTH

A conversation from our wedding last year.

"What's with all the men in kilts? Are they in a club or something?"

"No, they're just nerds."
