  1. Really sucks. I'd bought tickets for the whole to see them in August at an outdoor venue in the mountains of SW Montana. My 9 year old daughter has been pestering me to see them ever since she saw photos/videos of when my son and I saw them in 2017. She's been really looking forward to this since she got her ticket for Christmas. But I completely understand them not wanting to play for awhile....and maybe even never again under the Foo Fighter moniker. And if I'm being honest, I don't really want to see them without Taylor. It just wouldn't be the same.
  2. Joe Manchin and his conflict of interest with coal is the star of NY Times "The Daily" podcast. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/29/podcasts/the-daily/joe-manchin-coal-plant-conflict.html
  3. Dave has already been through it once himself. This time is going to be even harder on him because he was so much closer to Taylor than he was to Cobain.
  4. Outside of family and friends, there are only a handful of people whose death will bring/have brought actual tears for me: Larry Bird, Earl Campbell, Vince Young, Dave Grohl, Waylon Jennings, Hank Aaron, my high school coaches, and, although I never knew it before tonight, Taylor Hawkins. Sitting here going through all the videos my son and I made when we saw Foo Fighters a few years back has got the room a little dusty.
  5. You may be right. We have tickets to see them in August at a small outdoor venue in SW Montana. I'm not sure I could go now even if they do continue. This is devastating. RIP Taylor
  6. Son of a fucking bitch! My favorite band!! RIP, Taylor Just 30 minutes ago I was just taunting a friend of mine who is at a Sevendust concert right now that we scored tickets to see the Foos at a small outdoor venue later in the summer.
  7. They needed someone fast to get his errant passes before they were intercepted.
  8. That's complete bullshit. The Horns were no more aggressive than Purdue. There's no fucking reason whatsoever that a team should shoot three times more free throws! ('d say four times more free throws, but our no-shooting shitheads missed the front end of 1-and-1 at least four times.)
  9. Finally, a little good news to end the week. https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2022/03/19/alaska-rep-don-young-dies-88/
  10. Had to check that out for myself. Cincinnati Reds' 2022 payroll: 1. Joey Votto - $25.0 mil/yr 2. Mike Moustakas - $16.0 mil/yr 3. Shogo Akiyama - $8.0 mil/yr 4. Luis Castillo - $7.5 mil/yr 5. Tyler Mahle - $5.5 mil/yr 6. Ken Griffey, Jr - $3.59 mil/yr Yep, Ken Griffey, Jr, who hasn't played since 2010, is #6 on the Reds payroll for this season.
  11. I hate this asshole more than he hates stairs, but he's just talking shit...and he never actually said he personally armed those around him.
  12. How much do you pay for Disney and ESPN? I have them free through my cell service (Verizon) so I have no idea their cost. But if you're paying anything at all for those it may make sense to switch to Hulu Live since its only $5 more per month. Not having to pay for Disney and ESPN would more than make up for it. I made a spreadsheet of the top streaming options comparing all the channels we typically watch. Looks like that only thing you'd be losing going from YouTube to Hulu Comedy Central, AMC, MLB and AxisTV....but some of that may have changed since I last updated it.
  13. THERE IS A GREAT VOID! Outer Range coming April 15th w/ Josh Brolin and Will Patton.
  14. Because, much like the tree in Abbott's case, the driver didn't finish the job.
  15. And will get reelected every time he runs. He's political herpes...he ain't goin' nowhere.
  16. I'm sure they thank you for your service and sacrifice. 😐
  17. To answer the original question of what podcasts I'm listening to... Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend The Daily (NYT) Up First (NPR) The Lincoln Project Politicology (Lincoln Project spinoff) Smartless Politics War Room (James Carville) No Lie w/ Brian Tyler Cohen Surly Horns Dan Patrick Show (only listen to the segment that condenses 3 hrs into 45 minutes) CzabeCast (former national radio host who is a smartass like me) College Football Enquirer (Pat Forde, Dan Wetzel) Battery Power - Atl Braves (SB Nation) Charges with Rex Chapman (he must no longer be doing this...see below) The Rex Chapman Show w/ Josh Hopkins The Nateland (Nate Bargatze) Living in the 80s (80s pop culture) I play them all on 1.5 to 1.8 speed. It sounds weird to me now when I hear these people speak at normal cadence away from their podcasts.
