  1. One thing I LOVED about the Thailand episode is that he didn't include any of the Hollywood cliches with Thailand........elephants, tuk-tuks, monks, hookers, etc. He did do the floating market and Muay Thai but still. He stayed away from the sleezy parts of BKK and focused on the real Thailand. The charm of the people, the street food, etc. Rock climbing. What travel show goes to Thailand and does rock climbing. I lived in Bangkok for 5 years and the one thing you miss is the people. Sweetest, funniest people you'll ever work with......and Conan captured that.
  2. Losing Demko could result in millions of dollars in damages to downtown Vancouver. Granted, a healthy Demko could result in millions of dollars in damage to downtown Vancouver.
  3. I was shocked you guys didn't go after better goaltending at some point during the season. No way you're going to win a Cup with Wedgewood stepping in for a slumping Otter.
  4. I don't know. Zion being re-evaluated May 1. That's Game 5 of the series. I don't see OKC sweeping this series and I don't see them containing Zion. Will be an interesting series. If OKC wins this series and LA gets past Dallas, you'll have the Thunder taking on Westbrook, Harden and PG13. Fun series. If OKC can't get past the Clippers, you'll see a lot of Thunder fans rooting for those 3 to get a ring.
  5. I went to one of his TBS tapings in Burbank and ended up on the front row. Conan came out and shook hands with everyone up front and we were all impressed with how tall he is in real life. The dude really is a large guy. But what's impressive about Conan is how he just has this incredible natural ability to make people laugh. He came out for twenty minutes before the show and answered questions from the audience and had people laughing. No warm-up comedian. Also been to the other shows - Colbert, Meyers, Fallon, Kimmel - and they all had warm up comics. Heck, even The View had a warm-up comic. Conan didn't need a warm-up. Just came out and nailed it. It's incredible how well this guy connects with people.....whether in a studio or third-world country.
  6. I think you guys win this series. Vegas has been playing some mediocre hockey since Jan 1. Dallas has simply played better, especially since March 16 (12 wins, 2 losses). You guys have confidence in that locker room heading into the playoffs. Your boys are rollin and have depth up front. My favorite coach used to say "It's not about how many games you win before Christmas, it's how many you win after."
  7. What a riveting post-game interview with Otter. Jeez Louise - this new generation of pro hockey players have personalities about as exciting as a bag a broccoli.
  8. Have they done away with the play in tournament? How did Golden State automatically become the 8th seed?
  9. Just a completely random and off-the-wall question for Stars season ticket holders......how much have your tickets increased since you started going to Stars games?
  10. The Utah Stormin Mormons!! This should be exciting.
  11. He definitely captured the spirit of the thing.
  12. Yeah, that was a heck of a game. Dort will absolutely drive you nuts with his shooting. Oh well.
  13. For Stars fans, what are your REALISTIC expectations of this team this year? Dallas looks dangerous but Edmonton.....Vancouver....there's some talent in the West. Winnipeg doesn't do much for me, for some reason, but would be great to see some Canadian teams go deep this year. Can you imagine a Canucks/Leafs final. Won't happen but would be the TV event of the decade on Canadian televisions.
  14. That is hilarious. Saw this kid at a restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City about ten years ago. Didn't have the heart to tell him he had the greatest knock-off jersey of all time.
  15. I don't think you're going to see Helen Hunt at all. I would be very surprised. Maura Tierney will play a parent. I spent 3 weeks working on this movie. Really enjoyed the experience although they were some extremely long days. Glen Powell, Anthony Ramos and Katy O'Brien were very nice to cast and crew. What's interesting about the trailer still shot above (looking out at the tornado) is that it was shot inside the Prairie Surf Studios in downtown Oklahoma City. It was formally the Myriad Convention Center arena prior to building the Chesapeake Arena for the Thunder. They shoot movies in there now including the main set for Tulsa King Season 1. The movie theater scene (with people getting sucked out of the theater) was shot inside the main arena. Took a few weeks to shoot that. Pretty cool process. Cannot wait for July 19.
  16. I'm thinking Fast Times at Ridgemont High over Breakfast Club, IMO
  17. No mention of Howard getting Covid?
  18. Thanks for the advice. The hole.....er, whole process was no big deal. Good results and don't need to go back for 10 years. Poop process was a piece of cake (food poisoning in India is a 100% worse) and the procedure itself was nothing. Only thing I'd add, did the liquid diet two days earlier. Made a slight mistake not eating enough the day before. Only one can of chicken broth at lunch and two jello packets. Got a bit shaky at 2am from hunger pains. Be sure you consume enough before midnight.
  19. Going in Friday morning for the first time. You guys are recommending liquid diet tomorrow and then prep Thursday? Great thread.
  20. The last and only time? 2011. Cripes, the Pokes, K-State and Baylor have won since the Horns. Come on.....you're the Texas F*CKING Longhorns!! You're in the best town in the Big 12, have the hottest coeds of any campus, best bars, best BBQ, best music, coolest fanbase. It was the best road trip of any Big 12 opponent. Can you imagine recruiting to Ames or Stillwater or Manhattan, Kansas??? You guys should have won 10 of the last 14....and you know it. But anyway......seriously....congrats on the championship. It's about freagin time.
  21. You have to hand it to Texas. Nobody takes 14 years to build a conference championship roster like the Longhorns. Nobody. Ok, seriously, congrats to the Texas kids. Deserving champs.
  22. I don't give my Pokes much of a chance in this one. But the fact so many Gooners are openly cheering on the Horns and having such a hard time with how this whole thing has played out, it's still a memorable season. I've never seen - in all my years - Sooner fans this ugly going into bowl season. They are really having a hard time processing this and it's hilarious.
