  1. Good pulls on 25th Hour and Cedar Rapids fellas. He’s funny as hell in both.
  2. Jaguars and Texans play at the same time. I’m sure there will be some scoreboard watching, but I’d expect both teams to play their starters until they get some clarity.
  3. Is there any buzz out there for a JD SiBBP store pick? Specs had a great one in 2021. I bought every bottle I could find and drank all of them. Spec’s and Total Wine are near me. Goody Goody and Twin are reasonable drives. Houston guys, any good local picks at smaller stores?
  4. Clay Davis on the stand was one of the best scenes of the show. Whitlock stole every scene. RIP.
  5. I’m pretty happy about the KC21. It was the only bottle that I was surprised to see. I loved the 15, and 21’s reviews are pretty stellar. Really odd nobody would touch it ahead of me in line. It sells for $220 at Spec’s and secondary is currently about $400. That’s a tidy profit for a flipper, but I guess the initial investment is too high. The pick ‘em table was trash this year. Every single bottle on the table was on the shelf the day before. Their store pick prices are shameful. Woodford Double Oak for $101 was particularly egregious.

    Luigi’s is the best pizzeria in Midtown in my opinion. It’s right next door to Axelrad too. Tough to beat that combo. Home Slice is unique in that not many pizzerias offer cold subs.

    Goode Co Taqueria is supposed to have the best quail in town. While it was quite good, absolutely savage to serve it without a butter/white wine dipping sauce.
  8. Capela probably plays a lot of minutes against the Nets. Not a great match up for us as they’ve playing an effective big lineup recently. It feels like a classic surly rage baiting game. They’ve had our number for a couple years, and it’s very plausible we only have 1 healthy center on Thursday.
  9. Adams sprained his ankle. Not great Bob! gif.
  10. That’s a cool $5,400 before taxes.
  11. Limit went off at 3pm. My buddy got in line at about 130pm in Houston. Limit goes off while he’s in the store and ended up a case of Weller 12 and the ER10 picks. I stayed pretty disciplined at still spent $500+. Handle of a BT pick, Saz 90 pick, Issac Bowman pick, KC21, and a Blanton’s Gold. They were out of ErR and W12 when I got in line at 4pm.
  12. Yep. I was about 40th in line for Heaven Hill 90 on some random Friday a few weeks ago. They gave out 36 bottles. If they put out 1 or 2 more cases, I get a bottle comfortably. Similar results for 1924 and Thirteenth Colony Cask Strength Double Oaked.
  13. This. Their single barrel and store pick program has fallen off tremendously. It’s difficult to dial it in if you only make picks once a year, and if you’re making dozens of picks at the same time.
  14. Is avoiding Baltimore a past trauma thing or they getting healthy on defense? Plus Lamar is hurt/hedging his bets until he absolutely must came back for the Ravens to make a run. Yes Henry is a problem, but we’ve had past success against him. And the Ravens defense is horrible.
  15. I’ve listened to a fair number of post season interviews with Gilligan and Seahorn. The atom bomb final scene was a note from an unnamed Apple executive. He/she was wanted something punchier than the planned ending. It mostly worked, but I understand the uneven criticisms of the season finale. He compared the atom bomb to the machine gun in the Cadillac in Breaking Bad. They created a problem, and Gilligan and the writers room have to create an out. Seahorn touched on Carol’s substance abuse issues. Basically, Carol isn’t an alcoholic, but she sometimes takes it too far, i.e. the breathalyzer in the Land Rover. Helen’s concern for Carol’s drinking/the motion sensor was born out of them trying to conceive, and not a genuine substance abuse concern. Kind of wild how often they use Seahorn’s stunt double. Examples: running in the season finale, backing up the truck in the season premiere. I guess Seahorn is a master of many things, but not practical special effects. Sounds like the actress portraying Zosia takes a different approach. She taxied the plane in S1E2, and did some helicopter flying scenes in the finale. She’s certified on choppers per Gilligan.
