Taking It Down is back this week! With a rundown of the episode (0:02), Blaine discusses the absence of the show (1:26). From there, they talk about Adam's upcoming tour, which stumps Blaine, and why he'll be away from the podcast (1:58). This prompts a quick talk about social media, especially TikTok, and how to contact the podcast (5:55).

There, Blaine brings up the notion of how people watch TV all wrong sometimes with a brief mention of 'The Pitt' in non-spoilers (9:30). The non-spoiler section continues with an overview of 'DTF St. Louis': now that they've reached the penultimate episode, can they recommend it (15:46)? They do a midpoint check-in with the HBO series 'Rooster' (23:11) and a discussion of 'Shrinking' now that it has ended its third season (27:28). Before leaving non-spoilers, Blaine and Donovan explain why they recommend 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins' so often (30:48). They end the first half with ideas for next week (32:55).

To begin spoilers, they start with a listener email about 'DTF St. Louis' and its surprises (35:18). Then they transition into the HBO series 'Rooster' and how it has a lot to offer from Steve Carell but even more than just him (51:41). Lastly, they close the spoilers with 'Shrinking' where they grade the ups and downs of the third season, and they determine how to weigh it as a whole season (1:01:23).
