I love this. I read every word you two wrote, grinning ear to ear. I haven't kept up so I am intellectually living vicariously through you. A few years ago I visited Australia for the first time to met my niece. And one of their traditions is to sit around the TV as a family and comment. One program, Googlebox, is genius: it records real life Aussies commenting on watching their TV programs. The brilliance is that the programs can be terrible, but it is the commentary that is the star, being both hilarious and truthful. I fell off the couch laughing so hard at one point. One episode: https://youtu.be/Ao9q_vyLXsc?feature=shared
Googlebox seems like a lot of fun. I’ve been trying to convince Melissa to do a Thinking Man podcast for a while. Maybe we could incorporate that element into it for our book club discussions.
