this may be the most mastodon-flavored MetaFilter post we've ever had and I think I'm okay with that

This is extreeeemely my shit. Sel and Hyperlink have a way of being whimsical, even twee, without it grating - maybe it's balanced by the dose of memento mori that seemingly every episode includes, or maybe it's the bits of honest self-expression that ground it. Every question can take a left turn into what it means to grow as a person, what experiences can shape you, or how to nerf or buff a shark. And it's refreshingly earnest. There's an infectious attitude - somewhere between fannish enthusiasm and religious purpose - that makes you want to be inquisitive and creative along with them.

A sample question, one of the lighter ones, that is just, it's the best:
Q: Have you seen My Dinner with Andre?
A: No.
Q: What is it about?

I can't tell if they keep making McElroys references or if everything newer than 2012 just seems the same to me now

I’m so sick today and I love this sounds of people laughing and breathlessly saying nothing. Thanks
