I don't pay, so I know my opinion isn't relevant, but are you guys caught up on the substack gossip? I learned about it at https://www.the-reframe.com/hello-i-must-be-going/ , and I wondered if you had any thoughts on it.

Don’t have any judgments on who should stay or migrate to a different site. Truly! I love the product of substack but made my feelings open about it in the December 14 post by signing the letter. I’m researching a way to keep our premium subscribers getting all of our extra content but detaching the profit to the owners and to more responsible stewards. The free site here is great and there are companion sites that can host our bonus stuff without interrupting subscriptions here. Trying to figure out if the change is worth it or if they’ll respond to their users better from here on out. Doesn’t seem like they will yet. Either way, thank you for subscribing and definitely watch this space!

Y'all, here's how much I love Cadbury Cream Eggs. It was Sring Break 2001. I'm 20, RUNNING through Heathrow to make my flight. Then, I see that McDonald's has a seasonal McFlurry and it's CCE and I GET IN LINE and buy one. I resume my hustle and hear my name over the loudspeaker. I get there just in time, stumble onto the plane, and it's clear they've been waiting and there I am with my Cadbury Cream Egg McFlurry, pissing everyone off and I'm just gonna say it was delicious and worth it.

If we are nominating Dancing with the Stars contestants, my vote would be for the guy who tried to sue Gwyneth Paltrow (assuming he's recovered)

Another comment! I have a lot to say 🤗

Janie, I literally smacked my forehead when you asked Paul if that’s what Mmm-Bop is about.

Rad episode! As a fan of you guys and as a playwright in LA, I’m very excited about the possibility of PFT writing/putting up a play here. I’d for sure bring all my theatre peers and pals to see it! 🤗

I told my partner tonight, if you two are going to do a Vanderpump Rules recap we will have to start watching it. He agreed; he said “well yeah. We’d have no choice”. I know you already did the Pump and Dump, so I was considering it already. Ten seasons, 11 now? That’s intimidating!

We have Cadbury Creme Egg Minis in New Zealand for a few years now but they are not as good as the bigger ones

I have never had a mini! I’ll have to remedy that. I love the original Cadbury Creme Eggs. That’s tough to beat!

Looking forward to it -- gotta wait til it's closer to the weekend-water hour!

...but why is Paul always redacted in these posts? ...Is he on the run?

I can’t believe my first comment on this podcast I love is to exclaim that you’re inaccurately characterizing the “apples” scene in Good Will Hunting 😆(Thank you for sharing your evening conversation with us!)
