I’m excited that I just heard about the newest entry into my favorite genre of streaming shows with old man actors traveling around the world to eat food and it’s another of my faves, Tony Shalhoub. It’s called ‘Tony Shalhoub Breaks Bread.’ These shows just keep getting more and more specific. 1/2

As she handed me my iced coffee, the barista said, “Stay cool!” and it took me an embarrassing amount of time to realize that she wasn’t recognizing my awesomeness but was warning me about the excessive heat warning in NY.

The writing of this dystopian satire that we’re living in having the woman who sings ‘Before He Cheats’ at the inauguration of the guy with a 137 page report by the Justice Dept (that he’s about to be in charge of) about how he conspired to cheat is some top-tier Adam McKay stuff.
