  1. This clip just reminds me how much I fucking hate Tucker Carlson. He’s been out of sight and out of mind for quite some time. So obnoxious how his voice goes up an octave or two on his “gotcha” statements.
  2. You might be right. But they had one of those things in Dallas not long ago. Crazy shit.
  3. Might be more. Seth Meyers said in tonight’s A Closer Look that he’s golfed 37 times since taking office — and “those are the times we know about.”
  4. I’m caught up. Not sure this show is really working for me.
  5. BREAKING: A trad-wife influencer convention in D.C. went off the rails today when dozens got sick after drinking samples of raw milk, and threw up in the auditorium during a talk by a founder of a company that runs "natural immunity daycares for unvaccinated children." https://www.threads.com/@thehalfwaypost/post/DLF34ESPOnL?xmt=AQF0csL_dxRg8HvudvKIlqwjVcnxIHsHX9BWVncoxYI8Fg
  6. I know it won’t happen but it would be hilarious to see the Pacers steal this series. Fuck the Thunder.
  7. Trump hasn’t ruled out using a tactical nuke in Iran https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/DLGL576JJwn?xmt=AQF0dBsDBTyHN0oSyYNhPbLvoS_nObsuwn9lXkJ22EsElA
  8. Reporter asks Leavitt about Trump always saying “two weeks” — that cunt uses question to criticize Biden. https://www.threads.com/@aaron.rupar/post/DLF3cj3J88Q?xmt=AQF0UyYV_1Rt1Y8kMi0IrAStfGExQ7MH5jT3FRx0OVIoOw
  9. There’s a party store in Oak Cliff that sells Trump piñatas. Not sure where this is but it’s funneh.
  10. We went to the Rangers game last night and El Tri was playing next door at Jerry World. Basically, ICE’s wet dream.
  11. Didn’t Benn make like $7M last season? He won’t get anywhere close to that in his new deal.
  12. I like Dutch. He got $18M for four years.
  13. So what actually happened to the guy?
  14. I think Tucker is worse than Cruz in the grand scheme of things because his Fox audience was much bigger than Ted’s.
  15. Samesies. Class of '91. What about you? (Maybe we've already figured this out about each other but I'm losing brain cells by the day.)
  16. Was shocked to see that yesterday. She was great on those cooking shows.
  17. Personally, I think I'd get rid of aggy first. I have tons more friends who went to OU than aggy. They are much more normal people. As long as they're not led by Switzer or somebody like Stoops, who Mack couldn't consistently beat, I got no real beef with the Sooners. I guess it's fun to laugh at aggy but if we're cutting one of Iran, OU or aggy, I think I'm taking aggy out.
  18. We are closed tomorrow in honor/celebration of Juneteenth. I think I'll set up my "Out of Office" to proudly proclaim *why* we aren't open tomorrow. I'm usually purposely vague on these.
  19. I helped cover a lot of golf at the ST and one story I remember writing during the Nelson or Colonial was a story about Ron Streck, who was the first PGA Tour pro to use a metal wood on tour. I think it was the 25th anniversary or something that year. The first metal wood was made by TaylorMade. I talked to Ron and wrote the story and TaylorMade sent me a pretty nifty TM r5 or something driver (it was the higher handicap version of the one that you could adjust the loft with a tool) that was top-of-the-line back in 2004 or 2005. We weren't supposed to accept shit like that but first, I wasn't sure how to get it back to TM and second, I knew I was leaving the newspaper biz pretty shortly after so I said what the hell and kept the damn thing.
  20. FIFY. Looks like it's Tulsi vs the head of lettuce time in DC. Trump is ‘losing confidence’ in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard as he mulls removing her entire office, senior official says https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-tulsi-gabbard-israel-iran-b2772131.html
  21. So I just Googled this and it sounds like Mormons are now a slight minority in SLC but only slightly. Google went on to say that while 49% are Mormon, less than 30% are active members of the church. Not sure how our friends would be classified. They were born and grew up Mormon but haven't been members of the Church in 20+ years.
  22. I have the same Scottie Cameron putter that I bought back in 2003 right before I got married to my first wife. It cost me $350 or so. It was a big purchase for me at the time as I wasn't making all that much as a sports reporter at the Startle-Gram. Love that putter. I've thought about swapping it out for a newer Cameron but it's still a great putter. Not to thread derail but I like to buy woods that are one or two generations behind. I have a Ping G20 driver and 3W (I think I got the driver when it was one generation behind and the 3W when it was two behind to match the driver) and they both suit me just fine. I have the stock graphite shaft and haven't thought of replacing it. The bottom line is you could buy a great putter now and use it the rest of your life but the driver will ultimately give out due to wear-and-tear. I had an old Callaway Great Big Bertha where the head snapped off the hosel at the old Scotty's Driving Range in Uptown Dallas (where the Rustic and Mutt's are located now). It went flying out into the range. I went back the next day and picked it up after the retriever cart scooped it up for me later that day. Good times.
