I really enjoyed this episode — the strike discussions felt so relatable, like when we all argue over whose turn it is to cook dinner! Hearing about “Goodbye, Mario” hit me in that nostalgic way stories do. Fun fact: the other night I was trying to queue up old episodes and accidentally rerouted to Peacock, so I actually had to look up the peacock tv customer service phone number just to sort my account — ended up laughing about it with a friend later. Shows and strikes and service quirks all blend into the bigger picture of how we enjoy media together.
