Chef John. It’s a popular cooking youtube channel. But me and my wife love it and use it when we wanna try new things, or remember how to make obvious stuff. He’s got a calm, soothing, kinda ASMR kind of voice and I sometimes just watch his videos to relax.
I got hooked on another youtube thing, where people have uploaded real-time news coverage of major events, like the JFK Assassination. You can watch as if it was happening in real time, with hours going by with not a lot of information coming in. In an age where TV Technology was still so fresh, it’s captivating to watch the anchors and reporters struggle to deliver information.
I have 3 or 4 active group texts going in and out of my life: a little mini stream of in-jokes, long-running bits, and random nonsense. I’m so lucky to know funny people in my life and it's always a bit of fun relief to dip in, stir the pot and goof off about nothing and it keeps me connected to these people in a fun way.
I found it on youtube - it was for HBO and filmed at the Troubadour with a few hundred people in there. He was famous but not a household name yet, I think. It’s masterful and made me fall in love with doing comedy again. You can do anything!
I love what I’m seeing from Tyler. His movies are strange and special, his latest, Harper’s Comet has no dialogue and is so beautiful, funny, and sad. Just dive in, you’ll thank me later.
