Trader Joe's Organic Chunky Homestyle Guacamole [/] This is ok guacamole. Very thick which means lots of avocado but too thick for my tastes.
Podcast - Here's the Catch (2019) [/] "The Athletic's David Lombardi, Matt Barrows and former 49ers defensive end Dennis Brown come with a weekly podcast covering the San Francisco 49ers, featuring regular guests and hard-hitting analysis." It's a bit sports talk sort of podcast, not high on technical analysis. Lombardi and Barrows are reporters and having Brown there is a good contrast. I listened to the first dozen episodes (they started with the start of the 2019 season when the 49ers eventually went to the Super Bowl) and this season starting from a couple games before the playoffs. Interesting conversation, though I still prefer Candlestick Chronicles because I feel the two hosts there are bit more everyman.
TV Series - Night Court #1.1/#1.2 (2023) [-] This is a revival/sequel to the original sitcom that aired in the mid-80's. Judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) is assigned to the Night Court, where her father Harry used to work. Her public defender quits so she recruits former district attorney and her father's friend Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) to fill in. It's sort of the same formula as before, a bunch of zany characters bouncing off each other (though I don't think there is a "straight man" for them to contrast with, which I think Christine Sullivan was in the original series) and judge Stone getting to the humanity behind the cases. It's still a good concept but sitcoms are tough to pull off nowadays and the jokes here are really bad.
