  1. Finished Hellhound in under 24 hours, it’s 14 hour audiobook, so yeah, it’s an entertaining yarn. Some thoughts.
  2. My wife was an extra on FNL Season 1. She’s clearly visible in a couple scenes at the rodeo fair in S1 E12. She claims Berg wanted to cast her in a small role as one of the Garrity sisters, but she couldn’t make it work with her school/work schedule.
  3. Damn. I was about to guess that was The Settles, but I wasn’t sure because of the angle. Love that hotel.
  4. An older coworker was an extra in the famous Tin Cup pelican bet scene. I remain green with envy. I love that scene and that movie.
  5. My goodness. Embraced the weird ans they hit a home run. It felt like a Season 1 or 2 episode. 2 out 3 winners in the new season is a nice hit rate.
  6. Rebel 6 isn’t much better, and it’s like $30 more expensive. You’re doing just fine.
  7. I loved Down House at 18th and Yale. It was the first really nice restaurant to move to the Heights in 2010’s. We had to fill out a private club card to drink there. Good times. I remember their hangar steak was really good. Eventually they became known for their brunch, but it was a complete restaurant at its zenith. Does anybody remember the drive thru Thai place on Long Point and Gessner. Thai Rocha(?) was maybe the name. It would have been open in the 90’s and 2000’s. It was great. Still the best Thai food I’ve eaten in Houston.
  8. Over 2 hours in. This is pretty good. Meticulously researched. I wouldn’t be mad at a Hampton Sides Lee Harvey Oswald book.
  9. On Venables, not a single media member outside of Texas has ever publicly mentioned sign stealing. Clemson did an outstanding job of burying it. I think Herbstreit sort of kind of hinted at it during a couple Clemson CFP games. It’s not and wasn’t against rules, so game on, but with radios in the helmets it’s all but neutralized Venables’ big advantage. They don’t have the roster on defense to beat elite teams straight up. Exotic blitzes and coverages won’t save them.
  10. McElroy ranked Mateer fucking second best QB of 2025. I think the Lincoln Riley shine up effect is still there with the national media. OU QB = automatic Caleb Williams, Kyler Murray, Baker Mayfield They conveniently forget Jackson Arnold ever happened.
  11. Did Affleck add a regard lisp in the sequel? Haha, holy shit I think he did. No notes Ben. Bernthal is great because he’s great in everything. The Copperhead Road scene was great. Something tells me Steve Earle didn’t foresee that song becoming the most popular line dancing song of all time when he wrote it.
  12. Give me Wrigley as my favorite concessions. You can get a polish sausage and an Old Style. That said, the seats are pretty tight. People in 1914 were in a word a lot smaller we are now.
  13. You’re lucky to be alive.
  14. I’ll play devil’s advocate here. Who are the Suns and Nets targeting at 10? The Illinois kid or do they think somebody is falling?
  15. Tires rules. Season 2 rolls out today.
  16. If real, you have to do that before the Nets change their minds.
  17. This. Pulling the top bun off and checking for mistakes is muscle memory for me now.
  18. Wow. That is next door to my office from like a decade ago. I think it was a bank for years and years.
  19. I’ll have to revisit her stand up. She’s really good at telling funny stories. Great tits.
  20. I think Kiki explicitly states she was never friends with the original Mrs. Kell, and because Simone is her best friend it makes the betrayal worse. I can’t remember them explaining how Kiki came into the Kell’s lives. I hate this fucking show.
  21. I wonder if Rujo is in trouble? Nearly constant sales for months now. Currently 30% off site wide.
  22. Make the Encino deal make sense. What the hell are they seeing in Utica? That play feels like it’s been dead for 10 years +.
  23. So Durant and Lopez are the same age, but only Durant is too old for the Rockets?! Ok Brad. We’ll see on Reed. I’d love to the practice on Reed because Ime was getting on his ass about something. The Rockets went long stretches without a healthy point guard in the rotation and sent Reed to the G-League. &nbsp I’m more focused on the return for Whitmore than his potential. He can fill it up on a bad team, but how valuable is that? Windhurst dropping Toronto as Giannis destination probably isn’t an accident. He’s an international guy, Toronto might appeal to him. Given his loyalty to the Bucks, I’d imagine they’ll allow him to pick his landing spot. What do the Suns have that the Rockets would want not named Booker and Durant?
