I threw my father out of the house one time for similar behavior. I had young pre-toddler and had a full tear quadricep tendon rupture repaired the day before and my wife had to work so my father came over "to help." He said he would bring dinner, which consisted of raw steaks and potatoes that I had to cook. Then he sat and watched television while I took care of the baby. When I went to put the baby to bed (on crutches), he waved his wine glass at me and said "since you're up," so I threw him out instead of murdering him.
No, just selfish and stupid. They've always been this way. My MIL is one of the dumbest people I've ever met. But, at least she is sanctimonious about what she believes.
I have been working on my "no I'm not smiling at her funeral" face for a while now.
amen
My mother-in-law did this to my family one year. We flew down to Sarasota (where they retired) on Christmas Day. My b-i-l and his family met up with my family at the Tampa airport, and we all were going to drive together. We were told explicitly not to eat because they had dinner prepared for us. We show up with a collective 4 children who are all very hungry to be greeted by my in-laws ... and four of their couple friends, who had come for Christmas dinner and had already eaten nearly everything. There was only just enough food for the children after I made some scrambled eggs and there was nothing for any of the adults. None of the olds could figure out why we were not happy to be there.
I become furious every time I think about it. Just unbelievable.
Okay, even though I know how this will go, I will respond.
I saw him in Birmingham a few years ago, and his opening line was "When will they stop taking our Confederate monuments away from us?" And then he did a long bit about how he looked up how many there are and it's a lot - it's way more than you could possibly imagine. It was excellent.
Sledgehammer, his 2023 special, is funny. Bad Thoughts was awesome. The one parodying Garth Brooks is genuinely outstanding.
I think it's pretty obvious that his "outward disdain for his own fans" is a running gag that all of his fans know is a joke.
Anyhoo, Tom Segura is an excellent standup comedian and I like him so there.
I think that's part of the problem with podcasting. You just have to talk and talk and talk and 75% of it is "who cares." He is a great stand up.
I also think his friendship and dynamic with Kreischer is very entertaining, even though I don't think Bert is very funny and he would annoy the shit out of me in real life.
Tom Segura also is hilarious. If you think his bit on do not vacation where they film the First 48 is "kind of funny," then I'd like to know who you think is "actually funny".

Women are not horny the way men are horny
Real life race war
Tell that motherfucker I appreciate him
Shane Gillis is hilarious. Tires is a masterpiece.
If you think he's not funny, then just watch his bit about going to Mt. Vernon and George Washington. Or his bit about his uncle with Down Syndrome, grilled cheeses, the Special Olympics and John Cena. If you still don't like him, then fine but I think he is very funny.
Saban does not care if the players get paid. He thinks the collective should be a sort of universal payment to all players, with individual players free to maximize their own NIL money through endorsements, etc. He is much more concerned about the transferring than he is the paying on principle.
I agree with all of this except for the notion that Lee took the fight to the North because he believed his army was invincible. Quite the contrary. He knew the South could not win the numbers game or the long game and that he needed to bring the war to the North in a way that made it urgent and personal to its citizens and not an abstract concept happening somewhere else to other people. He gambled and lost.
