That’s what happened here. I made a joke a few weeks ago about how 2024 was going to be The Year I Appear On A Lot Of Podcasts. And then I actually thought about it more and started thinking about doing another podcast of my own, my first since the one I did with Alan Sepinwall ended a few years ago. And then I sent an email to a few of my smarter friends with some half-cooked ideas about this hypothetical podcast. And then my buddy Ryan Perry read it and said, “Funny you should mention podcasts and your interest in doing them because I am also starting a podcast and would love to have you be on the first episode.” And then I was stuck. Friends… worth it? I’m on the fence. Okay, that is not actually what happened here. I mean, it mostly is, except for the thing where I agreed begrudgingly. I agreed immediately because I love Ryan and love when my friends try cool shit and also because I kind of owe my entire stupid career to a decision Ryan made over a decade ago, before we even knew each other, which is a) weird and b) something we discuss at length in that video up there. HEY, GIVE ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS. I WON’T BE WEIRD ABOUT IT. Other things we discuss on this fun new podcast, [which is called Log Off](https://open.spotify.com/episode/22zZlDUfVe9HVKvByU2Cyv?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) and focuses on the way people use the internet and the things they do to try to keep the internet from turning them into awful little goblins: — my first experiences with the internet and my CD-burning hustle in college — my spinal cord injury and what Ryan and I referred to in our text chain as “the wheelchair stuff,” which I don’t talk about super often for reasons I explain in there and also because I would rather talk about stuff like movies where [Jason Statham plays a beekeeper](https://uproxx.com/movies/beekeeper-jason-statham/?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) who punches goons in the throat a lot — how I went from “law school student blogging under a pseudonym” to “full-time writer/editor whose real name and face are all over your inbox today” — some really awful blogs I wrote — petting dogs as self-care It was fun. Ryan is a solid dude. I can’t believe he convinced me to do this on video with my whole stupid face online. I’m sorry my voice sounds like that. ## STUFF I TYPED — here is [a blog I wrote about Slow Horses](https://uproxx.com/tv/slow-horses-review-apple-bingeable-gary-oldman-farts/?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io), a spy series I called “the most bingeable TV show in the entire world,” which is hyperbole but also something I stand by, in part because there are not enough shows about bumbling spies who solve global conspiracies after six episodes of literal and figurative farting around — my [first post-holiday Rundown column](https://uproxx.com/tv/succession-memorabilia-auction/?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io), with an opener about the Succession memorabilia auction and, yes, a mention of Pierce Brosnan getting arrested at Yellowstone, which so many people sent to me ## STUFF I CLICKED ON — my buddy Alan [spoke to David Chase](https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/the-sopranos-25th-anniversary-david-chase-james-gandolfini-changed-tv-1234933093/?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) about a show called The Sopranos, which I’ve never heard of but sounds interesting — [Margot Robbie](https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/margot-robbie-barbie-interview?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) and [Ryan Gosling](https://www.wmagazine.com/culture/ryan-gosling-barbie-ken-interview?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) did little awards-y interviews about Barbie and both are fun reads — [11 Signs You’re Watching an Edgy Comedy Special](https://www.vulture.com/article/edgy-comedy-special-signs.html?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) — in the last couple weeks I have seen stories about [a 13-year-old Tetris prodigy](https://www.npr.org/2024/01/03/1222737191/beat-tetris-willis-gibson-oklahoma-kill-screen?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) and [a 16-year-old darts prodigy](https://defector.com/darts-world-captivated-by-16-year-old-lad-who-loves-kebabs?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) and I love them both very much — 30 minutes of news bloopers from 2023, in case you thought I was kidding during that podcast — this is an accurate sentence, I swear: the kid who played the young version of Gordon Bombay — a character in a children’s movie whose full name is two brands of gin — in flashback scenes during the first Mighty Ducks movie is now a crypto mogul who claims his former friend [stole a hotel in Puerto Rico from him](https://people.com/brock-pierce-says-friend-stole-his-puerto-rico-hotel-sues-him-for-80-million-8421150?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) and maybe [wants to buy Sports Illustrated](https://nypost.com/2024/01/03/business/ex-sports-illustrated-publisher-brock-pierce-want-control-of-magazine/?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) after the guy who created 5-Hour Energy stepped down as CEO — here’s [a sweet story about College Gameday](https://www.gq.com/story/kirk-herbstreit-lee-corso-relationship?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) and the relationship between Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit — dammit, Matt Gelb made me cry [with this story](https://theathletic.com/5162492/2024/01/02/charlie-manuel-health-philadelphia-phillies/?ref=type-click-type.ghost.io) about Charlie Manuel recovering from his stroke — a snowstorm hit Pennsylvania this weekend and the weather dorks went on and on about it and long story short I typed this into Google at one point ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/3e/4a/3e4a2f1c-dbf0-4c8e-93a8-aaf656877d0a/content/images/2025/07/35a13850-4500-40a0-9712-1c9762003cad_737x116.png) Okay, that’s enough for this week.
