gts192 “tentaclish” This might be a big bite to chomp at first, but it’s darn good at backgrounding. Put this on while doing something else, and you’ll find yourself smiling at it.

gts019 “religish” Seems like a good time to re-do this one, since lately people are piling on the Pope, just ’cause he’s a White Sox fan. Tiptoe a tightrope, how not to offend anybody but still ensure that each ep of this show has something for everyone to hate? Humor, be thy crutch. 01-01 Carmen…

gts005 “leftshwept” [originally aired March 2022, but with the last 1/4 of the show redone] You know how those dating apps work, swipe right for yum and sweep left for ugh.
