Explicit content warning

03/10/25 • 37 min

Dave's wife makes a new friend on their coast-to-coast flight while he sits next to the perfect passenger-an empty seat. The new Persian friend makes some San Diego recommendations, including the Lafayette Hotel. Just dazzling!

Dave enjoys the cool, perfect weather in San Diego, again visiting Balboa Park. Highly recommended.

The Bucks discuss the first four questions from the NYT article, The 36 Questions That Lead to Love. Read the article and tell us what you think or tell us how you'd answer the first four questions we discussed. View our YouTube clip on this here.

We have some interesting episodes coming up so hang around and find out what they are.

Del recommends the book, The Water Room by Christopher Fowler. A book about two 70-year-old guys? Who's gonna read that?

Dave gives thumbs-up and high fives to Mikey Madison for her Oscar-winning performance in Anora.

Dave dittos that for Kieran Culkin in A Real Pain. A touching performance.

This week's bonus track is an R.E.M. classic.

214: Feedback on Mahesh, The Brutalist, Sitting on a Plane, Unbeer

Send us a text

Got lots of great feedback on 213 with Mahesh Patel. If you haven't listened yet, please do and tell us what you think. There are links to two short video clips in the show notes. C'mon back, Mahesh.

Del gives two thumbs down to The Brutalist. Dave hasn't seen it. What's your vote?

Dave gave 3.5 stars to The Chestnut Man, a series streaming on Netflix. It's a hunt for a serial killer in Denmark, a bit creepy, a bit gory, a bit of a tangled web.

Del laments a Florida law outlawing emanations in the sky, or something like that. It's Florida, what can we say. Del further extols the pleasures of NA beer. Yuck!

This is NOT the bonus track but if you want to keep track of all the ways the new administration is trying to destroy our country, sign up for this.

This IS the bonus track, so pay attention.
