I really liked the wild turn the second Yes Yes No took. Completely unexpected.

Alex Blumberg's joy at being the one who knew something for the No No Yes was really really fantastic.

Also the cupcake line.

I was not enthused about giving James Damore any more of my time or energy, but listening to Alex Blumberg describe the sparkly skull meme was delightful, and the No No Yes was a fantastic chaser.

I always interpreted the sparkly brain meme as ascending levels of enlightenment, not mind-blown-ality. Am I alone here?

You are not alone.

Yeah, it's generally regarded as levels of “enlightenment.” Quotation marks very much mandatory.
