Back in February I vowed to get my YouTube algorithm re-calibrated so it was sending me more good videos. Jumping into the car-buying process kick-started that process. It might be time to swing back the other way, as I only watched a few \u201cnormal\u201d shows in April and my YT feed is overrun with car vids.<\/p>\n
Curb Your Enthusiasm, season 11<\/a> B+<\/p>\n Curb Your Enthusiasm, season 12<\/a> I did not like how the finale began. We\u2019re supposed to believe that someone who has harped on societal niceties for 35 years isn\u2019t going to turn his phone off or fasten his seatbelt when a plane takes off? That fit into the broader point of the finale, though: Larry is a terrible person. It was great bringing Jerry Seinfeld back. Any time I see David and Seinfeld interact I think of what it would have been like to see these two bounce ideas off each other back in their writing primes. The final image was just about perfect.<\/p>\n A-<\/p>\n Conan O\u2019Brien Must Go<\/a> A<\/p>\n Duran Duran: There\u2019s Something You Should Know<\/a> B+<\/p>\n NBA Playoffs B+<\/p>\n Tyrese Haliburton, Robbie Avila, and the Heart of Indiana Basketball<\/a> Conan O\u2019Brien Needs a Doctor While Eating Spicy Wings | Hot Ones<\/a> Andy Richter Coming Up Clutch Pt.

\nFive foot fence!<\/p>\n
\nLD pretty much stuck the landing. I wasn\u2019t sure where the season was going early on, but it slipped into gear in the middle and finished up pretty strong.<\/p>\n
\nAs you\u2019ll see below, a lot of Conan content this month, mostly because of this new travel show. Every episode is great, but the segment where he learns about common Irish phrases is one of the best moments of the series.<\/p>\n
\nMy brother-in-music E$ recommended this. It was indeed pretty good. In fact, it might be the perfect, modern rock doc. It was brisk, checking in at exactly an hour. It ripped through the band\u2019s history. Four of the five original members participated. There wasn\u2019t too much attention to the band\u2019s most recent albums. I would have liked to have seen more details of their prime years, when I\u2019m guessing these dudes lived AMAZING lives. I\u2019d rather a flick like this leave me wanting more than dragging on too long, though.<\/p>\n
\nI only watched the Pacers closely, but had them on almost every night there was a game.<\/p>\n
\nShorts, YouTubes, etc<\/h3>\n
\nA fun piece that covers a lot of the state of basketball in Indiana these days. Notably they miss Purdue, but the Boilers were in Ohio the weekend these guys visited.<\/p>\n
\nThis is outstanding in every way. I laughed so hard I cried multiple times.<\/p>\n
\nAndy Richter\u2019s Best Zingers & Quips Pt. II<\/a>
\nHilarious.<\/p>\n
\nThis \u201ccommentary\u201d by David Letterman about the Tonight Show mess was terrific.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m ok with commercials like this that are just as much travel videos as product pushers.<\/p>\n
\nThis is both awesome and, likely, a relatively cheap project. So I\u2019m sure there are a lot of folks in the political world who want to stop funding projects like it.<\/p>\n
\nIncredible scenes and food.<\/p>\n
\nOf course he has cool gear.<\/p>\n
\nThis journey, and Iceland, look incredible. But I think it would be even more incredible done in a car or SUV. But I\u2019m also almost 53 years old.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m not sure about 38 greatest, but these are pretty good. The comments might be even better.

\nDave Franco & Alison Brie Take a Couples Quiz<\/a>
\nThey are just precious.<\/p>\n
\nHas to be some Office content if I\u2019m diving into other classic, TV comedy vids.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m no attorney, but I find the Justice Department\u2019s lawsuit against Apple to be quite weird. There are some parts that make sense, while others seem completely illogical. MKBHD\u2019s views largely mirror mine.<\/p>\n
\nGood stuff.<\/p>\n
\nBeau Miles bullshit.<\/p>\n
\nI love penguins. I hate heights. So I\u2019m conflicted here.<\/p>\n

\nWhen my buddy drove me around in his Lucid, sadly he didn\u2019t drive like this.<\/p>\n
\nNot in my budget now or probably ever, but still cool to see where the high end of the market is headed.<\/p>\n
\nThere are some advantages to the Chinese market the US can\u2019t compete with. But a decade of roughly half of our nation running away from EVs, in terms of political\/economic policy and buying choice, has put us woefully behind and now we\u2019re resorting to threatening to ban Chinese cars. Ain\u2019t that America?<\/p>\n
\nMaybe they\u2019ve figured out their electrical issues?<\/p>\n
\nSweet Jesus!<\/p>\n
\nIf you want a slightly more refined Porsche drive in an electric platform.<\/p>\n
\nA typical YouTube title that overstates things, but some good guidelines for EV owners. I won\u2019t follow these as strictly since I am leasing and am not trying to get the battery to last 10 years.<\/p>\n
\nPodcasts<\/h3>\n
\nThis is in my normal podcast rotation, although I don\u2019t always get to it. This episode was terrific for explaining what\u2019s going on with Apple and the Department of Justice, and TikTok and the US government as a whole.<\/p>\n
