  1. today is another deposition, 7 hours in person. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-25/musk-to-be-deposed-monday-in-twitter-arbitration-case-on-layoffs Musk to Be Deposed Monday in Twitter Arbitration Case on Layoffs fingers crossed we get another transcript here.
  2. https://www.screendaily.com/news/alex-gibney-talks-upcoming-elon-musk-george-orwell-and-david-chase-docs/5191819.article Alex Gibney talks upcoming Elon Musk, George Orwell and David Chase docs
  3. So basically they sucked from a business standpoint, pulled a John Mueller and now are going to be employees vs owners? Yikes. Also that seems like an incredible amount of money to bring in for a food truck.
  4. This is my note to go there this year before the next Top 50 comes out.
  5. i really do like him, but BOT is is absolutely not < PER in 2025. the best seat he could get after MB was the seat he's in. there is a pretty high chance he doesn't even have a seat next year.
  6. 2 under ~2, long work hours right now and sometimes i just want to open a jar vs make my own. not trying to re-create the wheel here, just want some chips and salsa i can put together in <2 min sometimes.
  7. yeah, you have to look so far back to the last time they devoted resources to mid day. <12 months, the prior shows they had on the air, hell they still have 1 of the 4 mid day hosts employed and on a mid day show, etc. there's dumb...then there is Rex Kramer, who somehow comes back dumber each and every time. "No Puppet Productions"
  8. personally, i don't think BOT is a better driver in 2025 than either PER or SAI. don't think he scores as many points in the same seat as either of those dudes do
  9. wonder if any of those dudes come back. guessing they burned bridges - and that locally they don't want to touch any of them with a 10' pole ...but if you bring back Mike Siriois, he's immediately the second best voice on KTCK between 10 and 3 and maybe the best if you don' like Donnie
  10. fortunately, i live nowhere near houston unfortunately, they don't distribute anywhere near me and i'm not paying $14 a jar, but those look fantastic. in laws are going to be going to Houston in a few weeks and may ask them to grab some for me. where are you seeing it in stores?
  11. bumping this to say i agree totally. these are fantastic
  12. also, updated drivers list for next year thoughts: SAI ends up in the 2nd Red Bull seat with a 1 year contract, ends up at Audi in 26 or does well enough for RBR to pay him to stay. MB: soft landing for a 1 year deal for PER? Stroll is back at AM for one last ride before his father sells enough of a stake that they can make the decision to replace him "my hands were tied Lance!" Gasly stays at Alpine, and Ocon fucks off to Formula E, does shitty and we never hear from him again. Alpine does something weird with the other seat - BOT? PER? more likely is they just keep their all French combo, which i hate Williams re-signs Albon to a 1 year deal, adds Kimi Antonelli to 2nd seat. whoever finishes better, Yuki (probably) or Danny Ric (less likely) keeps the VCARB seat with the other going to Lawson Kick ends up with someone to keep the seat warm for 1 year for SAI - Danny Ric? BOT? PER? Haas ends up with something like Ollie Bearman + an experienced driver like BOT? or they cheap out and keep KMag for another year. let's be honest they probably do that because Gene Haas is a cheap SOB. maybe they double up with young guys and have Pourchaire? or Zhou as the pay driver (you just know Gene wants to break into that Chinese market) so you have RBR: VER and SAI MB: RUS and PER? FER: LEC and HAM MCL: NOR and PIA AM: Stroll and ALO Alpine: GAS and BOT? Ocon? Williams: ALB and Kimi Antonelli VCARB: TSU and LAW Kick: HUL and RIC? BOT? Haas: Bearman and Pouchaire? KMag? Zhou?
  13. BOT has smoked the hell out of Zhou, something like 33-16 in quali as teammates and has 5-0'd him this year. if people are fired up about shitty drivers, then they need to get worked up about Zhou. He is the definition of a pay driver at this point - he won the F3 asian championship in the year he was in F2 where he finished third, outside of that never won any series, highest ever f1 finish is 8th, then 2 10s then 3 9s for a total of 12 points across 2 full seasons and 0 points so far this year, has more retirements across 2 full years - 8 - than he does points finishes - 6. he clearly ain't shit. people want to shit on Danny Ric, but he had the same # of points in 7 total races last year as Zhou had in the largest F1 calendar ever. if we are talking about getting folks out of F1 who are not very good to make way for some of the new blood, Zhou is down there with Logan Sargeant, KMag, Danny Ric, etc at this point. i hope BOT sticks around, one way or another.
  14. i went like twice to Roast and the food was good, but i really remember hating the location/space. i liked Stanleys, still do and the Motherclucker is my favorite sandwich I've ever eaten. One of the few places I miss from ETX
  15. editing to just talk about the full bar part of things. Top 50 spots I think that have a full bar Pinkertons Terry Blacks Stanleys Truth in Houston Killens? L&L (new spot) who else has a full bar that's in the top 50? -- ignore this below, had to do with hours that Jimmy put together and i misunderstood something
  16. key parts of the thread that really hit home: this part (10 and 11) is exactly how i feel, especially 11.
  17. Franklin's has a very high quality standard. also they absolutely did a huge expansion from a food truck style to the building - just on the # of smokers they were using/briskets smoking/etc looking at the last TMBBQ top 50 list's top 10: Goldees: opened B&M Interstellar: did they open in the strip mall? Truth: B&M in Brenham --> B&M in Houston Burnt Bean: opened B&M L&L: Food Truck --> B&M in 2024 Cattleack: i think they opened at the B&M? not sure Franklin: Food Truck --> B&M Evie Mae: Food Truck --> B&M Snows: always been what it is today Panther City: Food Truck --> B&M DFW has Daynes, Hurtado, Zavalas that i think all went Food Truck or pop up to B&M? off the top of my head/looking at top 50 list 2M opened as a B&M but did popups? Sunbird was food truck now B&M Eaker was food truck in Houston, moved to Fredericksburg and opened a B&M then made top 50 Guess Family was food truck to B&M Stanleys and Slow Bone opened as B&M i think Pecan Lodge for me is the biggest example of the flip over to large B&M that just never worked out quality wise. they had huge issues with like quadrupling their pit space when they moved and someone told me their lease required them to do B&M hours vs a "sell out when you sell out" model here is the prior top 50: https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/the-list-the-top-50-barbecue-joints-in-texas/
