the most recent show I listened to had two brother monks talking about how Pope John Paul II was the antichrist

they were pretty in-depth with their reasoning and it ruled, it's something Baloogan would deeply enjoy

The thing that used to freak me out the most was the people who would call in about like "shadow people" who would freeze you in your sleep and torment you.

Then I went through a period of having sleep paralysis and realized that's what they were talking about.

Also sometimes legit scientists would go on for some reason. Those were the best shows when some astrophysicist would just talk about stars for an hour.

if somme i still on netflix its a fun documentary to watch with friends

bsically getting certified as a sommelier is bullshit and a bunch of dumb bros champ out in front of thier girlfriends shouting, 'Oh gently caress this is TOTALLY southern Nice bordeaux circa 1989 I can totally taste it!"

then they go to an ancient and wizened sommeliers home and he servves them thunderbird and they all think it's some southern german blended wine from the mid 90s and it turns out the sommelier test is a giant scam where they try to figure out how many times youre willing to pay $10k to take the test

they literally dont even tell you how well you ddid on the test you get an email that says "Pass? Yes? [ ] No? [ ]"

Had a tasting at the HQ of some big wine company and their head sommelier guy was explaining to us how to taste wine and he got to the "legs" of the wine, which is how much it sticks to the side when you swirl it around, and someone asked him what it means when a wine has one kind of legs vs. another kind of legs and he was just like "I don't know. It's just something to talk about when you're tasting."

the only time i have ever beeen to a restaurant with as ommelier was when iw ent to vegas with my grandpa to help him host an industry convention booth at an industry convention thing. not like im fancy i just know enough to gladhand and get someone to swipe their convention card, which is like capturing someones contact info for future business poo poo

we went to the fancy restaurant at the bellagio thats behind the water jets that shoot out water to the tune of sinatra's "luck don't be a oval office tonight" and he gave us all wine recommendations with our main courses. mine was venison and i got something red

our appetizer was literally a fancy tater tot. it was delicious but it was basically a tater tot skin fried perfectly so that the potato bisque inside was still liquidy.

the whole time i was like "wtf? wtf is this? this is so much pageantry and showmanship for a single loving tater tot i cant even"

Man I don't know what the problem is here. I'd go to Vegas for a dope-rear end tator tot
