Most annoying Christmas Movies
The Grinch is a prime example, but Carey has his moments. The original cartoon works a lot better.

NBA 2025-2026 Season Thread
I’m here for the Giannis trade rumors. I believe his camp leaked that the only destination he considered over the summer was the Knicks, right?

The Chair Company on HBO
The best synopsis of this show I’ve heard. From the Ringer Prestige podcast: “The humor in this show is so weird that what makes it unique is that the individual viewer believes no one else could possibly find this funny other than themselves.”

It was nice to see Will finally be able to defend himself. I like where his arc is headed.

Fallout (TV Show) - Amazon prime
Just finished season 1. Looking forward to season 2. I like the cast and the 50’s vibe. I usually hate video game adaptations.

A lot to unpack in the 4 episodes. I really enjoyed the first 3 episode, but I found 4 quite silly. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. It’s a better show when the “kids” are hanging out and doing normal kid stuff instead of fighting monsters all the time. The sequence were Dr. Faye tries to save her daughter was extremely well executed and hit all the right emotional notes.

So the Mokaram girl is AI right? Also Ogre from Revenge of the Nerds yelling into Space City’s mic is cracking me up.

Lane Kiffin to LSU?
I guarantee this rumor came from dumb ass Bud Elliott. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/articles/mystery-program-tried-hire-lane-215634462.html

P Yeah, Ime doesn’t seem to want to play them together given his early rotations.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs
Good. Fuck Notre Dame.

I believe that’s close to MSRP. I’m on an island, but I like it and I’m OK with paying retail for it.

Probably recent bias given they just played the Rockets twice, but I think he has some Durant elements to his game. Really smooth and a nice shot.

I’d think hard about at him at 2.

They’re going to lose every game where they give up 130. Adams being out and the Jazz going full on Villanova- Georgetown didn’t help, but the team defense wasn’t there last night. I think they have to stick with Reed in the starting lineup during this might portion of their schedule. They don’t play another good team until December 20th.

Where do y’all think Bailey goes in a 2025 redraft?

Not ready to pen an open apology letter to Tate, but he’s played well and gave them a spark.

DFS sighting. I can confirm he can stand and clap.

Reed is going to hit 9-10 threes to get us back in it.

Jabari is a tough guy. George did his very best to break his nose.

Lane Kiffin to LSU?
Yep. Watching 10 minutes of their college football recaps on Mondays makes me a Portnoy fan boy. You got me.

Landman
Yep. Sheridan understands what Garcia is good at. Where ya been Andy? He’s a delight as the charming villain. If you want to feel old, Ocean’s 13 premiered 18 years ago.

Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
I like it, but he’s the focal point of their offense, he’s a local kid, Miami is “close”, and they’ll be hyper motivated to keep him.

Pluribus - Vince Gilligan and Rhea Seehorn
Gilligan is a funny guy. He basically dared fans/drone operators to fly over the set on the official podcast. Something like “don’t do it. It’s FAA restricted airspace. You’ll receive a large fine and will be prosecuted.” Then he drops a very drone heavy episode. I guess he missed all those drones flying over the Newark Airport last year. Zero arrests, and I’m not sure they even have a suspect. Fans throwing pizzas on the roof of the White home seems to have really bothered him.
