Why did that guy say “chained to a pipe” like it was a euphemism for something? 😂 WAS it a euphemism? Were they weirdly progressive about trigger warnings for this one very specific scenario?

I'm pretty sure that Ilya Kuryakin is immortal because he never seemed to age. And he's also Niles Crane. I used to enjoy this serie anyway, so I'm going to listen with slight apprehension in case it turns out to be full of slurs.
Devon's observation on holding live snakes made me guffaw.
I know Abigail said “take you to a swimming pool on the first date”, but on first listen I heard “He’ll take you to the silly mall on the first date” and that’s my new favorite insult for thirsty Tinder dudes; thank you.
Those smokestacks were the Consolidated Edison Waterside generating plant, built between 1897-1900, and the first A/C current generating facility in New York City. It exposed a ton of workers to asbestos (you or someone you know may be entitled to compensation), got sold off in the 90s as part of a deregulation scheme, bought by billionaire and lawsuit enthusiast Sheldon Solow, demolished in 07, Solow spent 125 million dollars to try to clean the site of toxic soil, he died in 2020 and the site is still a conspicuously empty lot today
I fucking love Robert Vaughn, he has no genuine charm to him at all if anything I always found him to be sinister. Outside of UNCLE I remember him for playing cold stoic types and maybe the first evil AI Proteus IV in the very creepy sci-fi horror Demon Seed.
Great episode but where did you find the film to watch it? Not available to buy on any streaming service or on ebay. Suggestions?
Abby's affection for this series really comes shining through in this episode.
This is my podcast it was made for me!
