@mclaincausey that sounds super interesting. How old is your daughter now?

[Mizmazzle]

Just started Boardwalk Empire. I know I am VERY late to this particular party...but we just got HBO Max so lots of new gems of the past to explore.

So far, I give it a solid B

[mclaincausey]

@seawolf she is 4 in just a few days. This is by far the most mature content she enjoys. All about kids versions Spider-Man and stuff like that.

@Mizmazzle that one would have been a B wire to wire for me, but because of my long running obsession with Cosa Nostra, maybe an A- I made a T shirt in high school with this picture of Capone and below it “I liked the guy” (said about a guy he had whacked in a disavowal of the assassination):

I keep meaning to watch Barry.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt does Barry know about this?

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle So much good stuff to explore on HBO. Holy smokes. What a treasure trove.

This would be a good time to watch it as,when it was running,it was affected by Covid and the writers strike. So there were occasionally long breaks between seasons. We’d have to go back and rewatch stuff just to figure out what was going on.

[seawolf]

How most of us probably feel a lot of the time, eh @Mizmazzle ?

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf it’s funny, I’ve had the very same look on my face twice in the last couple weeks when someone referred to my 33B as a jacket

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle I get compliments on my "jackets" all the time (33 and 62 in particular). Inside I'm always saying "it's just a shirt!" I guess people can't fathom wearing denim as anything other than a jacket, so from that perspective, it makes sense. And it always confuses me. Like, where did you grow up that you look at a relatively lightweight garment with snaps and say "that's a jacket."?

Anyway, I saw this guy earlier in the episode and they made fun of him for his vest a little. I related to Steve right away. Then this scene happened and I got my phone out to take some pics of the interaction because it cracked me up.

[Mizmazzle]

@seawolf love Seinfeld so much!! Love that episode. Doesn’t the denim guy reject Elaine later in the episode?

[seawolf]

@Mizmazzle Me too! Yeah, he gives here a fake number at the end of this scene. I'm nearly done with my millionth watch-through of the whole series.

[mclaincausey]

Kevin from Kids in the Hall. And she only wanted his number for non-romantic reasons.

My favorite comedy show of ever until It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia came along.

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey That's where I recognized him from! Thank you, it was driving me nuts, but not enough to pull out my phone and look him up. I need to pick up it's always sunny again. Such a great show.

Have you seen Welcome to Wrexham yet?

[mclaincausey]

@seawolf love Wrexham but need to catch up on it

[Mizmazzle]

Now that we have HBO I’ve been digging into Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Guess I’ve seen a lot more of it than I realized. On season 4 and still know all the episodes. Think the last few will still be new to me.

[seawolf]

@mclaincausey it’s so good, right? I love the storytelling and the chemistry between Rob and Ryan.

[mclaincausey]

Exactly. They’re just such funny and charismatic dudes what’s not to love?
