@itsme_cathryn Trattoria da Augusto for the best house made pasta - seems like a dive, actually amazing Cambio for some contemporary Roman fusion Suppli for suppli Pianostrada for a more upscale meal featuring different Italian cuisines All’Antico Vinaio for the best sandwich of your life

Who has restaurant recommendations for Rome?

@averagejenn That’s my go-to right now, for sure.

All my silly Raptors hats from over the years. 🚨Choose your fighter!🚨

🚨🚨SILLY NEW 🚨🚨 🚨🚨HAT ALERT🚨🚨 🚨🚨IN HONOR 🚨🚨 🚨🚨 OF THE 🚨🚨 🚨🚨 RAPTORS 🚨🚨 🚨🚨 SEASON 🚨🚨 🚨🚨 OPENER 🚨🚨

It’s the one day a year I wear this hat. Go teams.

🚨EARLY🚨 🚨NOG🚨 🚨SZN🚨

I feel like a sign of aging for me is that when I look through old photos now I’m less likely to think, “I wonder what happened to that person?” and more likely to think, “I wonder what happened to that shirt?”

@badbedhair I don’t even remember what we were getting at with that. Maybe it was making fun of some network notes? Glad it turned out to ring true!

@_Matty_H_ It reminds me when All Inclusive wanted Maya to make a theme song that was more professional but also improvisational. And more serious but also lighter. And broad enough to speak to everyone, but specific enough to brand their channel lol

So… like half of them think sex isn’t needed in TV & half of them think sex is needed in TV? And half want shows about romance & half want shows about friendship? So… we should keep making a mix of network shows and cable shows centering different types of relationships. Cool.

Absurd. Easily one of the best new shows of the year. Genuinely fun television. The kind of show that should be on primetime broadcast TV and would kill with a weekly release.

@rabbitfish63 I could see that being worth it.

@_Matty_H_ The goats will talk. They will not be CGI. They’re actually teaching them to talk.

How? Is there a recurring bit where every episode they put 8 million dollars cash into a different barrel and light it on fire?

@kimpunity I’m now imagining a 10M per episode snack budget and it sounds amazing.

@markwoman It kinda makes perfect sense. They spent it all on Severance!

@_Matty_H_ I just… make it make sense!!!!

@SusieVeeneman If Walken gets 15 million an episode, he has the best agents of all time.

@_Matty_H_ $15M of it goes to Christoper Walken

@dnybackact The other half of the show had better be all explosions and car chases.

@_Matty_H_ I was thinking the SAME thing. It's...like...an office set for the vast majority of the show. This is bonkers!

@Cupcakes_n_Rap Yeah, that’s why it’s gotta be real money. All those close-ups!

@_Matty_H_ yeah, plus it's streaming, so they can really get into the lingering shots and the layers of the trashfire's narrative, you know? like 37 minute long episodes, 46 - whatever is needed for the STORY #art

Solving a story problem or scene problem in a writers’ room is one of life’s greatest joys! And a few minutes with a half-dozen weird & brilliant writers will *always* produce something more fun and surprising than AI ever could.

@kmartts @StreamOnMax @_CJWalker You too! Thanks for taking the time!
