  1. Hopefully De Niro’s final vanity project. Based on the trailer, Genovese and Costello look and sound exactly alike, except Genovese is wearing glasses. Didn’t even bother with makeup. Costello had a very distinct voice in which De Niro makes no attempt to emulate. I suspect it’ll be a lot of sitting and talking from Bobby. That said, it’s an interesting story and we get so few mob films now that I’ll see it theaters.
  2. Bill Simmons’ attempts to mind fuck the Rockets into trading Sengun last summer remains his hackiest bit.
  3. I believe the deputy was part of a special unit that serves warrants to violent offenders. I hope there’s hazard pay for those guys. Jesus what a dangerous job. If this piece of shit was out on a cashless bond, I gonna puke.
  4. More canaries dropping: https://www.kentucky.com/news/business/article298512273.html
  5. Scattershooting: - The Mexican Martini Challenge was fun. Drink 2 at each of the 3 locations. After completing the challenge, a friend climbed a tree at North Star. His girlfriend, now wife, had to coax him down. Good stuff. - My dumb ass cousin was a few years older than me. He was raised on a steady diet of Los Tios in Houston, but he bizarrely loved Trudy’s. Every time we visited he wanted to go eat there. He was in a Christian “fraternity” so I shouldn’t have been surprised, but eating at Trudy’s sober was miserable. - Definitely a chick birthday place as others have noted upthread. Eating at home, and just ordering drinks was the pro move. - Their food was so shitty I wonder if they would have been better off with a bar food menu only. 1 cook heating up nachos and quesadillas would have been about the same quality with much lower overhead. - Baby A’s is basically the same and still going strong. Purple ritas must be the secret sauce.
  6. It feels like another public execution, but it’s not like would have gone much better in Baltimore. Take your medicine, hopefully no injuries, keep building in the draft and free agency. Hopefully something breaks right in the future for us to get out of the AFC.
  7. I would have led with the “3x distillate in production than is being sold” at New Riff instead of some unknown craft distiller not being to sell 2 year old barrels. New Riff sounds like a ticking bomb. I’m sure they’ll declare bankruptcy in a few years when they can’t sell their 4 year old bullshit. If Bardstown doesn’t buy their inventory, those barrels are going to sit for a long time. I think the glut is already here in mid tier stuff like McKenna 10 and Booker’s. Customers have not reacted well to the price increases. I think Blanton’s is next. There will still people collecting specific dump dates, but it’s not a $90 bottle. I haven’t looked, but the flippers’ margins have to be super thin on Blanton’s, and serious bourbon drinkers don’t really drink it.
  8. Thanks. If they get some good picks, please share.
  9. Rewatching the show again while I’m on the bike. Just finished Season 5. The season finale is probably the saddest of the series. The old married couple dancing in the dark + Sam watching Diane walk up the stairs at Cheers are heartbreaking. “Have a nice life.” In my mind, that’s the series finale. The show was never as good, and had a sadder tone after Shelley Long left. - Sam loses the bar, and for the first time in his life has to work for somebody. - Sam never remarries, never has another serious relationship, and he even fails to get Rebecca pregnant. By the end of the show, he’s a charming but washed bachelor. - Reading through Reddit history, many Diane’s line went to Frasier after she left and he became a much bigger part of the show. I guess we don’t get Frasier without Shelley Long’s departure, but it still saddens me. - Sumner is the true villain of the show. Gary was a delightful foil, not a villain. Sumner broke Diane’s heart, and then returns out of thin air 5 years later to break up Sam and Diane.
  10. The Andy Garcia was only set for 1 day jokes write themselves, but he came in hot and delivered.
  11. Great season finale. Fuck the haters.
  12. No excuses now that students don’t have to cross all of 4 lanes of MLK. Do better Austin High/Westlake/Anderson/Lake Travis kids that are one short dad drop off drive from campus.
  13. ESPN needs to fire Rex. I’ve never seen a prediction this shitty.
  14. A white safety on Mixon in space isn’t fair.
  15. Can Texas offer Ross $2 million a year to fix the special teams?
