  1. 2 years ago, my company threw a holiday customer party at the Star in Frisco. I didn't bother to fly in, mainly because being around anything cowboys related would have just pissed me off, especially any fake-assed platitudes about winning or tradition or photos of Staubach or Aikman. Apologies for being a cunt, Iggles SB win put me in a surly mood.
  2. Because they are an ad agency and were entertaining customers who spent many millions on super bowl ads and media buys. The key point is that once again an iconic Dallas Cowboys brand was utilized not because of any contemporary competitive football-related relevance, but because their historic glamour still holds novelty interest, if not vague brand recognition to league and network partners.
  3. Are your people “Yats?”
  4. Or Rocket’s headquarters, Detroit.
  5. It was definitely the B or C team. The ones that need whatever they pay to do a corporate gig in Chicago in February. Tbh I thought they were impersonators but alas they autographed and passed out actual DCC posters.
  6. Tonight my daughters ad firm (worlds biggest creative agency) threw a big super bowl party for their clients in Chicago. The entertainment? You guessed it. The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders. Not like they are gonna be needed anywhere near a Super Bowl anytime soon. IMG_7849.mov
  7. Holy shit thank you for adding to family lore. Ain't nothing like a good price of ass. Edit : apparently I missed the point and was the only one in the family that hadn't paid attention to that movie. I am ridiculed.
  8. After handling three deals personally I did use my buddy’s daughter to list the last house that I sold, and I told her that her job was to shield me from buyers and their agent, and to be my therapist for when I lapsed into all-around OCD and wonkiness. Plus when we're flying down the ICW towards the golden nugget at 100mph+ my buddy refuses gas money, so I buy the meals and hope I did his kid a solid.
  9. Not enough rep for this. As I have no accounts at the moment, I have achieved perfect salesforce hygiene for the first time in 25 years. And I pray to God that changes next week.
  10. Massive reorg and realignment in GTM, and I’m on the bench because I refuse to move to an RTO-friendly locale. As my boss said “we don't know what to do with you.” I'm 15 minutes from my driveway to the TSA line and managers who never visit the office themselves wont hire me because they have been instructed to hire people who are near the office, despite not having enough office space should everyone show up on the same day. We all travel to customer sites, conferences, and restaurants anyway. So I've been rage-applying to every single position in the company and judging by the phone calls my boss has been fielding, necessity is quickly overtaking policy. Interviewed yesterday to cover my dream account of a lifetime, the kind that you will tell stories about in 20 years. Should hear by next week. Did 364% in ‘24, excellent performance reviews, which won't be fully baked into the system til Feb 20th. Its nice being PIP proof for a while, and commission multipliers are unreal. The message last week was “we need to quickly find you a home soon” which changed to “which of these jobs sound most interesting to you?” Tl;Dr - I continue to dodge raindrops and I am the luckiest guy on the planet.
  11. My kid codes super bowl ads for broadcast, and the price for an ad is almost double from last year because people might see Taylor. The fix is in at a $1m/ half second.
  12. Indeed. I watched drive to survive so now I’m expert and throwing around acronyms. Lol. I never gave car racing much thought but now I’m obsessed. At our 2025 company kickoff a VP appeared in Red Bull kit and was booed mightily in the chat window.
  13. Any recommendations for driver fitting in Houston?
  14. My company has a prominent logo and is the AI provider for SF. Some amazing fan experience stuff to follow soon. If given the decision between accessing the paddock at F1 or the clubhouse at the masters, my head would explode.
  15. Storyworth.com My wife gave me this for Christmas a few years back and I’m going to be leaving everyone my memoirs.
  16. On Sunday I stripped down to my boxers and took a nap in the sun on my boat.
  17. I was one of those Mo-Ranch Presbyterians. I love that place.
  18. My cousin’s wife handled my dad’s probate which was fine, but my cousin is the DA and I've vowed to steer clear of any potential entanglements.
  19. Saw REK from backstage many times when I used to work his stage at Oysterfest, drinking the beer from the cooler we supplied him. At my son’s rehearsal dinner (whoop! they was aggies) his cake was a big armadillo stuffed with berry filling and when we cut it everyone said it looked like roadkill. And then the band segued into armadillo jackel. Now we trade obnoxious armadillo tchotchkes with his in-laws and have a good laugh. I know a sober guy who tours extensively and still sings his hits - which are all drinking anthems - that's what pays the bills. His sponsor joins him on tour and on off days they play 36 holes. I was with them one day when a song came on SiriusXM and he joked “I just made 4 cents.”
  20. You won't remember this but we almost delayed closing by a day due to my idiocy and an HOA document snafu that got worked out. First thing they did when I moved in was hand me the HOA job (it’s one street with 9 houses). Guess who is now an expert at getting liftmaster gate operators replaced? Now I want to raise rates and hire a landscape architect. A sober drunk with power.
  21. Lol Tito’s is the most popular vodka in Canada, based on anecdotal experience.
  22. Been a shitty day spent with Mom at MD Anderson. But at least I found some humor. If I was her doc, I’d go around telling everyone to “just call me Jumbo”
  23. Baptists. Inevitable scandal. Great memories of the blob and sailing to Ant island.
