  • British Towns So Rude, I Can't Put Them in the Title

    We're traveling to the island of Great Britain to explore some of the rudest named places in the UK in honor of the late Queen Elizabeth II's cheeky side. All of them would have made her blush, but she was their queen too, so put on your little boy pants and let's enjoy some maps and dirty jokes!

  • I Read an Insufferable 6,400-Word Profile Piece on Meghan Markle

    Yes, I really read aloud the entire 6,400-word article. As we meet at the crossroads of wry sarcasm and insufferable celebrity worship cringe, we will ask: on which of these two paths is this piece? What were these people paid $125M for? And why do they want to believe they're suffering so badly?

    I was left basically speechless, so this is a bit of a one-off with no commentary.


    The Original Article

    Meghan of Montecito by Allison P. Davis, published in The Cut on August 29, 2022

    To Allison P. Davis: please take no offense at this video/attempt at humor; I enjoyed reading your article and found it to be an interesting window into Meghan Markle :)

    To my three viewers: please appreciate the writer and don't be hating.
