  1. I don’t understand the effort to reintegrate him into Hollywood’s good graces by Lorne Michaels and whomever he knows at WB Discovery. He pointed a gun at a woman, and it went off. If some dumb ass PA did exactly the same thing, he’d be doing time for manslaughter. He should consider himself lucky and withdraw from the public eye. But, I assume he needs money and needs to work so his friends are doing him more favors.
  2. Reba was mostly fine. She can still sing, but you can see why she doesn’t really tour anymore. Purple parking, suite tickets, and free booze made for a good night.
  3. Plenty of parallels between 1924/King of Kentucky and Weller 12/Pappy Van Winkle. I don’t blame folks for wanting to try it. The hype is an unfortunate side effect.
  4. The Ime-Reed conspiracy theory posts are writing themselves on Clutch Fans right now.
  5. But he doesn’t have to. He can spend the week in LA and fly back on the NBC for dress rehearsal on Friday. Show on Saturday. Back to LA on Sunday. Some of the greats can get away with it. The Burrows Bros said Kelsey Grammer would read the script for the first time 10 minutes before shooting, memorize all of his lines, and nail his scenes. Yang is not one of the greats
  6. We live through Houston summers every year, live near a cozy, clean Cinemark with a polite staff and cheap tickets. Plenty of before or after movie dining options, and we still never go. We lived in the Heights for 10 years without a local cinema, and then Covid. I was we just lost the habit. It takes a QT or DV movie to get me to theater.
  7. Y’all need to watch Tires.
  8. Yeah even Espada is asking what the fuck?!
  9. The King Ranch price increase was unfortunate. It created a malaise around the bottle, and turned a very good product into a shelf turd. They also hit Texas with a tsunami of cases. You have to walk around the display in most mom and pop stores in Houston. Smith Street kept about a shipping container worth of it in the middle of the store for weeks. 1924 is probably always going to be a tough get unless they release a shit ton of product like King Ranch. It’s the same recipe as King of Kentucky. Most of us will never taste KoK, so of course everyone wants to try the next best thing.
  10. After reading this and having just paid $80 for ETL at Spec’s I’m concerned BT is going up across the board. GG is always MSRP in my experience.
  11. Funny. I’m glad I don’t gamble. We’ll see how the films age, but that’s not what the award is about. Congratulations Flow.
  12. I believe it’s $92 at Spec’s.
  13. Probably Ridley Scott’s last great movie unfortunately. I’m not sure why the movie wasn’t better received. The duel scene is a masterpiece of hand to hand combat.
  14. I gave up on the Gotti wars about 8 hours in. Gleeson sucking his own dick about flipping Gravano, and then defending Gravano as a great witness was a bridge too far. The Earth is Weeping is pretty good, but it’s basically a doctorate thesis.
  15. I’m on the fence about Spec’s 1792 Full Proof pick. I’ll have to revisit. I will say TW picks have been much more consistent recently. If they’re around the same price, I’d recommend the TW picks 10 out of 10. I’d probably attribute Spec’s picks falling off due to lack of practice. Everything is so geared for the December drop that they’re not regularly tasting/picking. They just do it once a year now.
  16. Back to the affordable steakhouse well. Saltgrass has a pretty outstanding one. $3 drafts, $4 Rita’s, $5 wines, and I believe their cocktails are $6. The bacon wrapped quail is $13, and its outstanding. They do the traditional quail hunter way with cream cheese and jalapeño. The wrapping is so tight and well done it’s like eating a drumstick. They also give you a full side of their excellent brussel sprouts with it. It could easily be an entree. I’d skip the crap cakes. The steak bites are pretty good and only 7 bucks. I will say the Memorial winos frustrate me some. It’s usually standing room only at the bar of most of the restaurants in the hood. Spending every night at the same bar is no way to go through life. It’s a lot cheaper to drink at home.
  17. Are we talking about Oats specifically? Sankey has waited about a decade for SEC hoops to get this good. I doubt he wants Texas to rock the boat, and would prefer they hire outside of the conference. I don’t think it’ll prevent CDC from doing whatever he wants, but it might be out there. Bama has gotten serious about hoops, invested in the program, and made a great hire. Good for them.
  18. This. A strain is a form of a tear. But tear sounds more serious when included in 280 characters. Not sure what Quinn is trying to do here. He could just be giving an honest answer to question. He could blaming fuck ups on the injury. NFL teams don’t give a shit if he was hurt or not. They just want to see him throw.
  19. Is Shane this polarizing?! Yikes. A solid and increasingly rare Please Don’t Destroy short, and surly posters are still panning it. At a minimum, Update was funny sans Wickline. I worry they’re going to stash Wickline like Devon Walker and jnever use her, but she still gets paid to keep mom happy. The cast is way, way too big. Need to cut it back to 9. This would be consistent with the history of the show.
  20. A lot of baggage in college hoops with the Adidas bullshit. I think there’s enough good names out there, that we don’t have to go in those direction. I want Oats, but I understand the best we can probably do is McCasland. So be it.
  21. Seconded. He probably hasn’t been healthy since… the beginning of his junior high school season. He needs to not play football for a few years.
  22. I believe the joke is Vance is a closeted gay, and Yang is gay and impersonating him. It feels like an inside joke that Yang and the staff thinks is hilarious. It just hasn’t translated to the audience and I don’t think it ever will. Agreed on the eyeliner. They need to do something.
  23. Mike Myers nailed Elon’s look and most of his mannerisms, but he sounded like Paul McCartney. An easy, easy fix in rehearsal if somebody had the balls to give Myers notes/if Myers was at rehearsal. I thought all of the sketches were funny. And thank goodness somebody is finally trying to make fun of Shelby Foote.
  24. Shout out to the Mrs for having Maroon Lot parking today. In and out in a couple hours for cookout. Piece of cake.
  25. Wickline is the worst cast member in the history of show. Mom was Lornes’ PA right? They need to retire Yang as JD Vance. It’s just never worked at all. Very strong first act and Update until Wickline showed up. Shane was obviously working on a new special in the monologue. Mostly worked. The band; however, was not amused.
