  1. Yeah the gravity of the PE thing didn’t really set in for me until last year. In ordered a sausage “taquito” at Holcombe and Kirby. I open it up to put picante on it and there wasn’t a single piece of sausage in it. Just egg.
  2. It didn’t age well. Even Carlin’s stuff was extremely tame and only mildly humorous. The sketches were all very short. Wolverines and Bee Hospital felt like they were 1 minute long. If the film is accurate, pretty unbelievable they couldn’t find a couple minutes for Billy Chrystal. Cut one of the songs and there’s plenty of time for Billy.
  3. Just fired up the Gotti Wars. I hope Gene Gotti is throughly discussed. Gene was allegedly the smartest Gotti/biggest earner. Did 29 years standing on his head because John wouldn’t let him take a plea.
  4. It’s Westheimer and Fountain View not Sealy. Jesus.
  5. No Aykroyd or Hader. Bad. Writers on the 50th include Tina Fey, Mulaney, Paula Pell, and Seth Meyers. Good. I’m excited.
  6. Let’s make it easy here. Best Western by decade. 1940: Red River 1950: Rio Bravo 1960 : True Grit )honorable mention to Magnificent 7) 1970: The Shootist 1980: Lonesome Dove 1990: Unforgiven 2000: Open Range 2010: The Revenant (honorable mention Hostiles) 2020: The English
  7. How in the hell did the little boy from Shane get nominated for an Academy Award?! He spends most of the movie making regarded facial expressions and saying 80’s sitcom catchphrases. I guess he was ahead of his time.
  8. Again, NWBuck has never been to Whataburger, and is unlikely to eat there again. I suggested a bucket list order. I fully acknowledge you will die if you ate this everyday or possibly once a week.
  9. Upvote. The San Felipe location is the last of the Mohicans. If you can eat it there, it’s a near guarantee you’ll get a good meal.
  10. It’s the man’s first run. He should indulge some, right?
  11. Triple meat. Mustard on both sides of the bun. Add grilled jalapeños and onions. Rings instead of fries. Strawberry shake and a glass of water.
  12. Lorne’s music taste peaked with the Wall Street soundtrack. I’m not mad at it.
  13. I take it all back. The Culps singing Not Like Us killed. Absolutely killed.
  14. The crowd is truly wild. More stars than the Oscars. It’s so deep, they sat Seinfeld on like Row H.
  15. They basically redeemed themselves with the B-52’s. All the old white people in the crowd dancing their asses off to Love Shack is great.
  16. The Homecoming Concert Special has made some really odd choices. Not introducing musical guests, a Tom Petty tribute 8 fucking years after he died, opening with Fallon singing Soul Man and then chasing it with a washed Miley Cyrus singing A Crazy Thing Called Love (the fuck?!) I had high hopes after the music documentary.
  17. If they’re going to keep selling them to me, I’ll keep drinking them.
  18. I read it a long time ago. The Outfit by Gus Russo is another great, very long, mob history book.
  19. Man alive. I should have included those 2. Definitely in my top 10. We work almost exclusively on Microsoft Teams chat, so I can just see the court room conversation unfolding in my head. The Corncub, I didn’t do shit meme/gif should be in the Smithinson.
  20. Way ahead of you. Already read the Westies and the Cuban book. I’m listening on the Asian gangs and Florida cocaine trade books. The recent Purple Gang and NJ books are pretty good. M
  21. I entered a raffle for Bowman Cask Strength that would require me to travel from Houston to Virginia within 14 days. I think you’ll be fine buddy.
  22. Thank you. Any recent mob books you’d recommend?
  23. I think we can work something out. I’ll trade you some ETL’s for LA grocery store gemstones.
