Jason Ruby

🔥 Highlights

🏁 Intro & Life Catch-Up

  • Introducing Kip the Rat (spelled with a C).

  • Listener shout-outs! We’ve got at least three now.

📚 Book Chat

  • Space 1969 by Bill Oakley – Nixon narrates his own life while JFK builds moon bases.

  • Big Dumb Eyes by Nate Bargatze – maybe rushed to print?

  • Being Mortal by Atul Gawande – last-minute heartfelt recommendation.

📺 What’s Streaming

  • Last of Us – the revenge arc isn't thrilling Jason. Anna is still team “Daddy’s back.”

  • Scarlett Johansson on SNL – flat sketches, meh monologue, wasted potential.

  • The Studio – Seth Rogen’s intensity makes it a “watch in small bites” show.

  • Four Seasons – loving the cast and cameos.

  • Andor – they’re determined to keep watching... once they find time.

  • Welcome to Wrexham – heartwarming soccer meets Tom Brady rivalry.

  • Murderbot – Full frontal robot nudity and existential angst. Anna’s still not into robots.
