This was one of the first gifts I ever gave to my wife. (that press photo is actually from Mr. Goodbar, but Annie Hall is one of my wife's favorite movies)
This week on the show, we're doing two big segments: Sony's State of Play and all their upcoming game announcements and our talk about this year's breakout hit - Expedition 33.
MLK included this section in several speeches throughout his life. Rejecting optimism and embracing hope is one of the reasons the civil rights movement was successful.
True story: Optimism is often a cope for people who love 'blackface'. Eg. Megyn Kelly who LOVES blackface and has no understanding of MLK who openly spoke out against optimism! #MegynKelly#MLK#OptimismIsAlwaysToxic [from an upcoming video]
Jesus, have you ever tried to restart a Roku?! It takes 6 steps! It's like canceling a gym membership, except I can't just transfer my payment to a burner card and tell @lafitness.bsky.social that their collection agency has no gag reflex.

Happy birthday to Ed Begley Jr, one of the few celebrities I've ever gotten a photo with UN-Ironically. He was doing a podcast I was producing about climate change with Dr. Randy Olson. (my collection of ironic/mistaken identity celebs is in my latest Substack. Link in bio, duh)

I wonder how many ignorant Americans lost money by not betting on 'white, male, conservative, gun nut' 🤔 "Yeah, but that hits every time. We're overdue for a change up!"
Thinking about the moment when people from other countries look up this "great American" who was assassinated and is being given a posthumous Medal Of Freedom, and they start reading his quotes and seeing his clips. Will they think we're just as hateful and crazy as always or did we find a new low?
