It’s funny that this week’s show is about time. Shawn’s recently been busy, so we didn’t record on our usual night. Then Christopher had an early day in the office on Tuesday, so Monday night recording was a no-go. Tuesday night in America was election night. (You might have heard a thing or two about that…)
So, it’s funny that we’re talking about time when this is the third week in a row with little commentary and Christopher just cutting and pasting our talking points for the episode below.
Tick…tock… Tick…tock…

Wow, Shawn has me beat in lateness. I learned to tell time when I was (probably) 10. An exasperated babysitter finally made a “clock” out of a paper plate, a marker, two cardboard strips, and a butterfly clasp. But the intersection of numbers and sequence of events flies over my head to this day.
And Shawn is on the right track.

Yep, Ice Cube was awesome in Ghosts of Mars. 🙂 And I just now loaded my Watch Later list with a bunch of Martha Stewart with Snoop Dog videos, thanks! 🙂
