Of all the network television (or whatever they're called) shows of my high school era is Psych the one that holds up the most?

Bakalar is perfectly describing why I find Game Grumps Wheel of Fortune so entertaining, it's a mindless show you can just riff over while making the clowniest guesses and landing on five lose a turns in a row. GG are actually entertaining above the show tho so idk if I'd like it on its own.

Yes, there are Amish/former Amish that get secret smart phones smuggled in. In fact, several got found out during the national emergency phone alert. No joke, this includes one who was in the middle of a hearing with elders over other transgressions of using modern technology when his secret phone went off in his pocket.

"New Slang" by The Shins is now on our corporate radio at work. This led to me finding out none of the young people have seen Garden State. It's a funny coincidence it happens to come up on this episode. It's not very funny that as per usual the crew have no valid criticisms of a movie lol. Professional haters. I have no doubt it's just soft indie boy goofy shit, but God damn yall never have actual criticisms lmao

If you want to know what’s going on with Zac Efron google “palumboism”. Also known as GH gut.
