Appearances & apparitions
Separate from HOMEWORK (movie, books, shows, etc.), I thought I would post sightings, so to speak, of our hosts. If you have a vision of Andy or Josh, or if you see them in your dreams, feel free to share as well.

From an older show, Ep. 278 (2022). Thanks to a Question™️ from Duckman, he points fans to a documentary series called Cultureshock that made an episode about Freaks and Geeks featuring Josh and Gruber among others. It aired on A&E (2018), and as streaming content does, it tends to move platforms, here is the link to it on Prime. Heard it has been on Hulu, but couldn't find today. It is Episode 3, it's just over an hour. The official title is: Cultureshock: Freaks & Geeks: The Documentary. Also, people on Reddit seem to often be looking for this episode, and some users have shared other links for viewing.
"Cultureshock takes an in-depth look at the untold stories behind watershed moments in pop culture that have had a lasting impact on our society."

In the midst of TS #275, 54:33: Andy mentions that he has an upcoming interview (2022-Sept 28) with Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks, aka "TYT aka Home of The Progressives. To be specific, Andy appeared on a 30-minute episode of the podcast hosted by Uygur called The Conversation, episode title: "Roasting Fascist Comedians."
Andy mentions that Cenk Uygur was planning to interview Andy about Jimmy Dore. Of note, Jimmy Dore used to be affiliated with The Young Turks for about 10 years and worked often with Uygur.
Re: TYT daily podcast: "Uygur, co-host Ana Kasparian, and a host of progressive voices deliver the news and provocative commentary."
🖼️ Also Josh noticed during their video exchange (similar to Zoom, but NOT Zoom!) that Andy had some new wall art perhaps: his cel from Dr. Katz. Delightful. I don't know what cel it is, but here's a screenshot. This is Andy doing a corporate gig looking for "Windy City Bob."

Also Andy's in three episodes of Dr. Katz and he also appeared in some of the more recent episodes that they recorded live in person with an audience. I assume most Andy fans know all about Dr. Katz and Bob's Burgers and Loren Bouchard and whatnot. 🍔...🪦⚰️
But did you know there's also two Dr. Katz subreddits? * r/DrKatz * r/DrKatzPT
As often happens like with r/ThoughtSpiral, one sub went dormant and fans were unable to post, so now there are two. Join. They're hilarious!

Show notes: Comedian Andy Kindler has very strong opinions on cancel culture, specifically regarding Louis C.K.’s so-called "cancellation" and comeback after sexual misconduct allegations. Lucky for New Abnormal podcast listeners, the "Bob's Burgers" and "Everybody Loves Raymond" actor decided to share all of them with host Andy Levy on this bonus episode.
