J.G. Acaster is just a perfect discussion tool. I love the character and everyone i've spoken to has just an innate understanding of "funny Col. about to be shocked" and immediately pick it up themselves.
As someone with an Oculus Quest (an aspect of the whole digatal product ecosystem I never expected is the forcible renaming of your own posessions), I can't think of anything that could occur in a corporate meeting that would benefit from VR. Its heavy to wear and brings no benefit to people sitting around a desk talking. Even the viewing of 3d objects is more convient on a screen. A company would be better off buying good mics and acoutstic dampners for all their employees if they want to improve the quality of their meetings. The social benefit of things like vr chat comes from recreating the spontaniety of meatspace and having a visual element without revealing your face. None of these are present in meetings either. You also can't recreate the social aspect of meatspace offices in vr, because theres no bathroom or water cooler to get up to go to and talk to people on the way. Now if producivity in offices didn't increase when everyone went remote, being able to for lack of a better term parallel play with your coworkers (similarly to vr religous services having more of a sense of community) could be beneficial. But that doesn't seem to be a problem that needs solving. And if you're adhd, my own and my friend's expeirence, shows you can get the social pressure keeping you on task by just messaging someone your plans. 1:16:21 Guys its motherfucking amongus!
if the TF crew doesn't exclusively travel around australia in diesel trains which look like they are made of an 1880's mining hut's roof, I will be sorely disappointed.
This feels like I'm watching James Gordon-Levitt playing Bruce Willis in Don Jon walking out of a 7-11 watching some adult content on his phone, him thinking "wow damn did not know you could do this!"
That's messed-up. Your parents do such a good job of shielding you from childhood trauma during a blackout that you think you want to go back to times of suffering.
To a child, any serious disruption is a cause for celebration because it frees them from the bane of their life: School. Hurricane sweeping across the state, flooding homes and ripping up entire buildings? WOO, SCHOOL IS CLOSED!
"Advocit Nic" takes the opposing council's Motion to Dismiss, rolls it up, and smokes that bullshit filing right there, right in front of everybody there in the courthouse... LIKE. A. BOSS.

Love a good Milo Yell
“Entitled to WHAT??!!??”
Always glad when the Colonel makes an appearance
Kebabligations
Listening from the future, and hearing Liz Truss's name brought up...
Milo losing his shit at the end - great as always - had me crying with laughter 🤣
Zuckerberg screaming "This is Meta!" and kicking Nick Clegg in front of the bang bus with his new legs

Or maybe they’ve naturalized to the trauma and want to feel the familiar horrors of their childhood... because change and progress is scarier.

If their head explodes they're not a Tee Eff listener, they're a Tee Leef listener!

My head explodes every time I come up with a lame ass "It's The _____ One" joke, but it's OK bc I don't ride the bus, so nobody knows.
Is he going to be alright after that nervous breakdown in media res?
Damn I thought for sure there were going to be flat-nosed pole dancers in that story
Are there any other episodes with Milo losing his shit?
