Too late to help give a cent of advice to the guy who wants to be a lawyer, but at a good law school the first year is an intensive course in rhetoric & applied philosophy including written and oral components. But the con of law school is that school can be horribly competitive, sometimes in a low key way. Finally, being a paralegal is probably a route to find out if the law is a profession worth spending time and money to become.

The OG hard to watch F/X show before the Bear. I really think Zach went to France to learn clowning without knowing French.

Baskets is one of my favorite shows ❤️ Zach Galifianakis is one of my favorite comedians/actors. Such a great guest, if he came back I’d 100% get passed my anxiety and try calling into the show hahaha.

Can’t wait to see Vic’s video for Chapo!!!

Every bit of me squiggles when Zach laughs, jokes, and giggles It’s so fun to meet a person so sweet For him? Mountains I’d jiggle ☀️

Kyle

I think about the Christmas crypto.com arena song about once a week, it really is the worst stadium name ever

To Tom, the guy interested in law school - I'd love to have a conversation with you and offer my perspective, as someone who had never considered it until I realized at 30 how badly we need lawyers who want to do something helpful. I'm in my last semester now, so can't really speak to the long-term career experience, but feeling great about the spectrum of opportunities in front of me. Anyone know how I could get in touch with Tom? Can you help, Capt. Carlin???

Joseph Phillippi

Hey there, I actually hit this thread to try to reach out to that guy, Tom. I made a very sudden left turn to attend law school at 30, in my last semester now. I'm a big supporter of taking that plunge if you've got good reasons and can pull it off (obviously a huge commitment that many don't have the ability to make). Idk if there's DMing on here, but I'm always down to have an encouraging conversation and share my experience, so let me know if you'd wanna chat about it!

Mcgruff The Crime Dog, Marijuana.

Jacob Kruse

Just recall an old Activity of the Day: "Thanks for that brain, but it's not helpful right now. Bye-bye."

Christopher Laramee

ROLLERSKAYE SKINNY! that album is severely under-rated for sure, I've been on it again recently! Tim, check out the Lotus Crown one too, you'd dig.

Jay Aubrey-Herzog

A good pick!

Kevin S.

What was that hard rockin’ weed hatin’ song with those kids singin’ harmonies??

Kevin S.

Pee Wee’s Big Adventure

Christian

Shout out to Lizzy for her Fred again recommendation, and nobody really understanding what a dance music producer is 💀 I saw him live a few months ago, and he is one of the most talented artists of his generation IMO.

Ryan S

damn vic's theme went hard af

Carol

so much fun! thanks for all the laughs!

Todd Long

To the caller who wants to go to law school. If your heart is telling you to go, especially for noble reasons, Go! I had a good career but felt unfulfilled when I was 29 and I am 41 now and so glad I went!

Chris Mathews Jr.

it could be because Scorsese never misses. one of the goats of all time.

Angelo Mike

Great show! Lots of laughs, lots of smiles.

Jkinnick

Where is it

KD

Lizzy should fill in again but give her a keyboard.

Grant Peterson

Didn't Vic do this week's ad?

Hank Streicher

To the New Zealand couple: Yo Gabba Gabba is an amazing kids show. Mark Mothersbaugh is on it all the time and Jack Black too.

Grant Peterson

Zach referenced Frontline again! Great show: as good as journalism gets!

Johnnee

Holy Fuck Zach is so fucking funny

Aidan Morrison

video blocked in my country 😭

Mark Mulvaney

Great rec with Rollerskate Skinny. Fantastic underrated Irish band with Kevin Shields little brother. Talented family!

Jim D.

The Vic video breaks rule. Great show.

Sam B

AWESOME EP, Zach is the coolest and I lovelove Lizzy. what a nice surprise! ❤️

Chris Mathews Jr.

Really really appreciate Rec Center for two reasons: -I hate music journalism/music writers and enjoy hearing what people I like are enjoying -I hate the Algorithm, I can feel the cold touch of software developers and their puffy-vest sickness on my soul

Jasper St Germain

Vic's shirt rules

Dylan Murray

Zach Galifianakis’ laugh is my happy place. Been too long since Baskets! Thanks for a truly tremendous ep. Also my personal rec for this week is Gruff Rhys solo albums. His new one comes out this Friday and he absolutely needs to be a guest.

My fear of heights is also linked to my fear of my own intrusive thoughts!!! To the man considering immigration attorneying - I’d recommend looking for shadowing opportunities, or even volunteer opportunities at non-profits that assist in navigating that system. I’ve also considered going to law school and haven’t made up my mind yet! But every attorney I know is burnt out, so definitely don’t jump into it without feeling sure that you can commit the time, money, energy, emotion, etc. Required for years to come. Make sure you have sustainable passion. The return on investment in law school is not what it used to be.

Joss Humberstone

What a head of hair Mr Zach has!

asidbrain

Honestly, with the teaser post, all signs pointed to Zach. The obvious SBTB photo, and even the blurred text. But my brain kept saying “no, he doesn’t like doing these kinds of things, (respectively)”. So was so genuinely surprised to see him on! It says a lot about himself, as well as the friendship and respect between Zach and Tim. Then toward the end when he said he liked it and would do it again I felt like was asked to the prom twice. All the best

Maslow

Is Flowers of the Killer Moon a joke I’m missing?

Mig

‘flowers of the killer moon’ has to have been submitted by on cinema tim heidecker

Jay Aubrey-Herzog

Ed Wood is the best Tim Burton film! C’mon!

Matt Dekker

I think it has to do with societal norms - we're used to following certain laws and "rules," and things always happen a certain way, and we wonder what would happen if something changed. I think it's similar to the thought of "what would I do if a robber came into the bank right now?" and we imagine ourselves being a hero. We're basically just imagining the various possibilities in any given situation.

Matt Dekker

I think the "fear of the void" is pretty common for like the majority of people, so I don't think it's an indicator of some sort of mental issue. Everyone has those thoughts of "what if I just drove into the oncoming lane right now?"

Anima

We lost dancing by Fred again is amazing workout music- good call lizzy

Andrew Stanger

This was an all timer, thank you all so much

BO BRICKS

What a treat

Jacks Briones

Doug’s ad got the Zach Galafinakis wheeze of approval- that’s next-level stuff.

Tim Heidecker

My bad! Tag is reading and I out book in -Matt

Tim Heidecker

Blake Anderson did that a while back. Was really fun. I forgot to bring my iPad with the drops on it today I actually meant to. Will maybe bring next time we have a sub. -Matt

creg

zach g and lizzy c!

Michael Clark

Am I allowed to say that Doug hasn't looked this good since he was dating Natasha Leggero and she dumped him over that guy because of the calculator and also because he had a big rim on his chest? Not sorry!

The Moderner

This was such a fun show. Thanks for the laughs! Love Lizzy Cooperman’s rec!

Dan Mulcahy

loved the show! Have always been wanting Zach on OHL and Lizzy is so great on the show. I loved that Zach wanted to be on regular - would love him on a game night

Dan Mulcahy

LOVE the rec center, Ariel! Aren't Reading and Book the same thing?

Dan Mulcahy

I need to look into this. I really related to that and what Tim said about heights. going up big elevators and being close to edges and balconies just thinking you could just go over the edge or get tripped.

skeletonmeat

it could be fun to set some of the guest co-hosts up w/ an (approachable) selection of drops and have them take a swing

skeletonmeat

it can be very dynamic, but it is also live tbf

Dan

Rec center looks great!

Kyle

I keep thinking the back of Vic's Elvis Costello book is Greg Gutfeld

Goose

Aka “intrusive thoughts”!

imalazycarcass

Vic you should get a mirror to put in front of Tim so you can see his face when he’s talking. That way you’re not talking to his back!

KD

HOLY S! ZATCH GAPAFINASTY!!!

Trevor Phillippi

Man the rec center rips! Thank you so much team!!!

Randy Faucheux

Holy shit, Tim! You recommended Rollerskate Skinny! They're my favorite band that no one's heard of. So criminally overlooked.

Alison Schmidt

@ariel this is great! It looks like the reading icon is there, but the book icon is missing!

James Morris

The thing Tim is talking about (jumping on the escalator, ruining a live show ) is 'Unwanted Thought Syndrome'. Maria Bamford has it as well. It sounds like it can be rough if it's really severe.

Justin Griffith

To whom it may concern: Is there any way the entire show can be louder? For some reason as loud as the show is, it’s not loud enough. It seems quieter compared to other podcasts and videos. Sorry to sound bitchy but I’m wondering if anyone else notices it
