May 2300:49:15Tap to summarizeOn this show, if we can find a way to talk about Sarah Michelle Gellar, we're going to talk about Sarah Michelle Gellar.

Transcribe →Still Buffering: The Pitt (2026)
Apr 2501:01:18Tap to summarizeIt's Maxfundrive, that time of year we thank all of our lovely listeners and supporters, and also offer you gifts. Give me 12 CC's of Troll Keychains, stat! Because we're also talking about the Pitt..that wasn't a great transition, I don't think that's a legal measurement for troll dolls or keychains. Anyway, if you've supported us this long, you know being kinda bad at transitions is one of our things. Thanks for being here all the same.
