izabella October 18, 2019 Share October 18, 2019 Trevor was on fire during his opening segment. I always like when he does "Ain't Nobody Got Time for That." I also liked the split screen, back and forth Trumps talking about Syria then and now. 4 Link to comment
AnimeMania October 18, 2019 Share October 18, 2019 Not sure why Trevor was making a big deal out of that slimey yellow blob, it was a "slime mold" and they have been known for at least 150 years. They can crawl around and if you have one you can feed it oatmeal. 1 Link to comment
Hooper October 18, 2019 Share October 18, 2019 Well, lots of news services have picked up on the story of the slime mold exhibit that is being featured at the Paris zoo, so I liken Trevor's mention of this to Colbert's "Meanwhile" segments or Seth Meyers's "The Kind of News We Need Right Now" segments. They serve as fun mindless fluff to mix in with the endless grind of trying to make jokes about the demise of the rule of law in the US. Plus? Slime molds made headlines back in June of 1973. I have a copy of an article from Time magazine describing a mysterious "blob" invading the back yard in a Dallas suburb. Also featured in that issue - mention of some young feller named John Dean testifying to investigators that Nixon had indeed conspired to cover up the Watergate break-in. So, I for one welcome the return of our slime mold overlords. 6 Link to comment

ABay October 31, 2019 Share October 31, 2019 I watch Dancing with the Stars--that is, I watch the actual dance routines and fast forward past the rehearsal bullshit, the judging, and other nonsense--and something like the deal with Spicer happens every year. Someone with absolutely no dance ability, who fails to improve over the season, stays on while much better dancers are eliminated because they have a large fan base. I wish they'd change the rules so the judges' scoring weighed more. 1 Link to comment
DoctorAtomic November 1, 2019 Share November 1, 2019 Why do people have up to 20 votes? It seems like that would be an easy fix. That has to be frustrating for the judges though. Link to comment
Lantern7 November 1, 2019 Share November 1, 2019 Watching Sean Spicer try to game the DWTS voting system, making himself the right choice for certain types of voters? That's a bit sickening. But then we wound up getting Trevor showing a few clips of his DWTS experience in South Africa, then he revealed his spotted dancing shirt as he challenged Spicer to a dance-off. Sooooooo . . . maybe things came out even? 6 Link to comment

peeayebee November 1, 2019 Share November 1, 2019 Going back to the Dancing With the Stars/Sean Spicer bit, the voting on these kinds of shows always bigs me. Not only is there multiple voting, but people often vote for the worst person just to mess with things. Or they vote for the person they like, which has nothing to do with the talent. BUT... Spicer actually soliciting votes is worse than all that. I mean, he must know that he's a terrible dancer, that there are others on the show much better than he (which I'm only assuming since I haven't watched any of this season). So his motivation has absolutely nothing to do with merit. Hillary in that opening bit was outstanding. Loved it. 2 Link to comment
Victor the Crab November 2, 2019 Share November 2, 2019 Hillary Clinton was great in that cold opening. I'm glad that she hasn't become bitter over the way the 2016 election was stolen from her.

But he is in his 70s, so I guess age plays a huge role. It probably wasn't prevalent in the 70s and 80s, but I think by the 90s you noticed a total change in posture.

Victor the Crab December 4, 2019 Share December 4, 2019 I've never had an Impossible Burger before, as they are not sold here in Canada (the people I know who have tried it say it's outstanding). But I've had something closer to that here called Beyond Meat. I tried them for the first time at an A&W restaurant (the Canadian ones, which are awesome, unlike the U.S. versions). The texture to them was different, but the taste was truly great! I never would imagine a meatless burger would be so dee-lish. Soon after, they started selling Beyond Meat patties at our local grocer, so I bought a few for a late spring long weekend barbeque with family. After grilling them like a regular hamburger, and serving them to be consumed, everyone raved about the burgers they had and asked if it was a beef/pork combo or a special type of beef. When I told them that the burgers they ate had zero animal meat in them, they were left gobsmacked and speechless. The downside for the burgers - at least for the time being - is that they are quite pricey. A packet of two Beyond Meat patties can run around seven to eight dollars Canadian. But hopefully, if demand increases, the prices will go down. Which would be a good thing all around. And another thing about these burgers. They do a pretty good job of loosening your stools. 1 1 Link to comment
AnimeMania December 5, 2019 Share December 5, 2019 I doubt the meatless burger price will go down. Salads have been around for millions of years and they still cost more than a burger and fries do at a fast food restaurant, even thought the ingredients are one-fifth the price. The fast food restaurants know people will pay the higher prices because they want to eat healthier. 4 Link to comment
2727 December 6, 2019 Share December 6, 2019 Yeah no, Trevor. I don't care one bit if Trump's feelings were hurt. After all the denigrating, mocking, name-calling and lies he's told about others? And that's just in public. 8 Link to comment

Ms Universe was stunningly beautiful, utterly charming and delightful, and I'm convinced she is sincere in her intent to use her platform to make the world a better place. So, congratulations and best wished to her, and once again one of Trevor's interviews has opened my mind a teeny tiny crack. 7 Link to comment
