    There was a true crime podcast that did a story on The Tiger King guy. Might be the same people that did the Netflix thing. Just saw it today. But the podcast was great.

    Good topic. Looking forward to getting some ideas.

    We had free HBO last weekend and watched the first season of "The Righteous Gemstones". Two thumbs up. I think we're going to tackle the second season of "American Vandal" this weekend. Hope it compares favorably with season one.

    Free Solo?! Not me! Heights don't bother me... EDGES bother me. And El Cap is like 7500' of edge! That dude is NUTZ!

    EDIT: 7500' is sea level to the top of El Cap. Height from Yosemite Valley floor is "only" 3600'. What a relief. Bet you thought it would be a serious fall, eh? =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Great reminder, I got three episodes in and never finished.  I’ll get back to that.

    Black Sails is a great series I've been watching again lately. It was originally on Starz but Prime has it free until the end of the month. Definitely worth the time.

    Watched the first Containment on Netflix last night- maybe not the best timing but excellent show. 

    Plus if you haven’t watched the Chef Show you are missing out.

    Not exactly what you asked for, but if you're into cars at all Doug DeMuro's videos on YouTube are great.  Here he is reviewing the new Corvette:

    +1 for Homeland.  I'm in the middle of Season 4, and it's starting to lose some steam for me.

    Re: Free Solo, I watched it over the span of two flights and audibly yelled several times.  Holy hell that was intense.  I was never scared of heights or edges, but I think I am now after watching that.

    Not a fan of his girlfriend.

    You know it’s crazy when the professional climbers filming him can’t bear to watch him themselves and have to turn away.

    Good stuff. I haven't seen him before but really dig his style. Gracias.

    Some really good entertainment getting dropped in here. Free solo is INSANE! Made my hands sweat just watching. Letterkenny is a riot. The Chef Show is great and one of the few cooking shows my wife enjoys as well. I'm a couple episodes into The Outsider. It's a cool unique premise that only comes from the mind of Stephen King and incredibly cast.

    Just finished season 2. I love it so far. Only bad thing is, my wife doesn't like it and she doesn't leave the house anymore!

    I actually listened to this whole thing on a long drive many months ago.  Lots of twists and turns.  Fascinating is an understatement. It actually made me go online and read a lot more about the aftermath.  Both compelling and tragic.

    Letterkenny on Hulu (not appropriate for little ones)

    This is the scene I saw that made me take a longer look at the show.
