Tweetables:
“Severance, which is on Apple TV+, [is] honestly one of the best shows I have ever watched. Every moment is so intentional, even if it doesn't seem like it in the moment.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:11:44]
“If you want to just play a game [of chess] in the background with some folks between meetings, you just pop over to the [Chess.com] tab, make a move, smile at how smart you are, and continue on.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:26:07]
“It's less about your ability to play [a game] and more about how high your intimidation skill is.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:37:53]
“People will disagree with me on this point, but I think your first chug of seltzer should be approximately half the can. You may take sips after that, but the initial chug should be about half the can to be enjoyed immediately.” — @EnjoyTheVueCast (https://twitter.com/EnjoyTheVueCast) [0:45:18]
