Damn. The Orville got dark.
We finished the final print issue of last night. It was a somber task and a tough week. One bright spot was my conversation with , who provided some optimistic final thoughts during otherwise shitty circumstances.

I don’t even know what to say about this week’s TAL other than I just had to pause it at the break. I don’t want it to end. Neil with another banger. Every time he’s in the host chair that show is so damn good. And shouts out to Nadia on that good ass story. In awe!

Last week, I learned that those first few notes in 's "Eye Know" are NOT from Steely Dan's "Peg" like the majority of the song, but match perfectly. brilliance.
