  1. Seconded. I laughed my ass for the 2.5 hours. People at work were knocking on my door to ask if I was OK. Shane’s Trump impression is unbelievable. His bit in Beautiful Dogs had me slapping the floor.
  2. Another plug for Tires. I finished a second rewatch today, and almost choked on cereal from laughing so hard in Episode 4.
  3. As soon as the PAC-12 leftover money gets resolved, Oregon State and Washington State join the Mountain West right? If they’re holding out hope for a conference champion auto bid, they’re very misguided. Win the MWC and they’re in. I mean hell, the Big 12 and ACC are going to struggle to get 2 teams in every year..
  4. Lainie Fritz is highly attractive, works as a sports reporter at KPRC, and her dad is the HC at U of H. This isn’t hard people.
  5. The most belittled game on UCLA’s schedule has attracted road trip level attention from our resident Bruin. Suck it Cover 3 podcast?
  6. I don’t really get it either. Apple TV is $5 a month, no ads, and you get a MLB game every week. You’d think those cord cutting cheapskates would be all over it. That said. I think they desperately need a massive hit. Apple needs another Stranger Things. Presumed Innocent and Lady in the Lake are pretty good, but I don’t see them entering the zeitgeist. They’re all in on Wolfs. I hope it works.
  7. Thanks Fud. The Game Theory fellas already think Reed has the highest swing guard upside on the team. That includes Jalen Green. I’m not sure I’m there yet. If Jalen plays defense every night, and can add something on nights when his shot isn’t falling, I think he has higher upside than Reed. They love Amen. Think he has the best number 1, the guy, potential on the team.
  8. Is it the editing or is the Giants’ front office a collection of huge douches? I don’t understand Schoen and Daboll smartest guys in the room arrogance. Schoen hasn’t accomplished dick, and Daboll is a second year head coach with a losing record.
  9. Are people actually pissed they cut Nettles out of the show? I barely remember her from the book. Rhaena and dad Daemon teaming up to hunt Aemond and the big bitch is more interesting than Daemon teaming with some rando (dragonseed?) They don’t have much runway left, but I think we get the Battle of the Gullet this season. The Greens probably just made a deal with the Triarchy and desperately need to break the embargo. And Rhaena is about to ride Sheepstealer. Setting up the board for the battle. Also, Rhaenyra losing another son is a good way to end a season. The season 1 finale definitely created some buzz.
  10. Interesting theory. They were pretty deliberate showing the hand.
  11. There was some speculation on sport talk that Mixon is more dinged than they’re letting on, thus signing Akers. It’s July, I’m sure he’ll fine, but they overpaid to get him to leave Cincy.
  12. Dude, chill. I didn’t spoiler shit. Any viewer paying attention could figure out the Sea Snake is Adam and Alyn’s dad after the last episode based on their own dialogue. Granted, I overthought it with the Laenor speculation. Seasmoke accosts Addam, Rhaenyra is informed Seasmoke has a rider, and they show a black man riding Seasmoke in the scenes for next week. Finally, the show deliberately foreshadows Rhaena’s attempt to ride the dragon in the Vale.
  13. What’s the story again? NBA told TNT it’s yours for $2 billion a year, we won’t talk to anybody else. TNT counters with $1.5. NBA says OK bye, we’re going with Amazon. And now they match at $1.8. Brilliant!
  14. I mean this in the nicest way possible, Julia’s fill in looks like a busted Daytona stripper.
  15. There goes the all they care about is selling phones theory.
  16. I’m just speculating. Given Alyn and Addam’s ages in the show, yes the Sea Snake is almost certainly their father. Their parentage is about clear as mud in the book, but there are more Sea Snake indicators than Laenor. I’m not sure why their mother Marilda would openly tell people Laenor was their father. She was independently wealthy and from a respected merchant family. She really didn’t have much to gain.
  17. Bastards with mysterious parentage is GRRM’s jam. I don’t think it’s cut and dry that the Sea Snake fathered both. Sea Snake got rejected by a dragon. So did Alyn in the book. Both are bad ass admirals. Laenor was a dragon rider obviously, and Seasmoke seeks out Addam. Maybe the Sea Snake fathered Alyn and Laenor fathered Addam? A gay guy with a bastard son is in the GRRM wheelhouse.
  18. Was nicknamed Taco because he looked Mexican-American.
  19. Mike’s reluctance to remove Bunny from the board is troublesome. It reminds me of the Sopranos when the audience is screaming at Tony for em entire season to whack Richie. Speaking of The Sopranos, Cousin Brian sighting. Renner is little and didn’t really get the drop on him. Corrections Officer Cousin Brian is like 6’5’’. I’d think he could handle himself a little better.
  20. Trump would need a lot of help internationally to I make $40 happen. I’m sure the Saudis would be his first call. I doubt how much they can help, and they’d have sime huge asks. He’d probably have to end the war in Ukraine for access to cheap Russian oil, and make a deal with Venezuela. Dealing with Iran would almost certainly be off the table. There’s a path, but thankfully it’ll be difficult to get there.
  21. In my own personal experience, federal interference is greatly exaggerated. 95% of the bitching is about wildlife restrictions in Wyoming. Another 5% for terminating leases, but hey, if you violate your lease terms, you’re going to lose the lease. The feds aren’t doing anything a private owner would do. The BLM in New Mexico are pretty good about turning around sundries. They don’t try to hold us up, but just like any organization of a certain size, if somebody goes on vacation or moves to another group there’s going to be a delay. Not being able to get drilling permits is some politician made up bullshit. Most companies prepare for these things and have at least 8 years of drilling permits. The Biden Admin could never grant another new APD since January 2021 to today and most of the big boys would be fine. Offshore is a different matter. Canceling lease sales in the GOM was a pretty big deal for that group. The fed doesn’t grant full refunds on these things. They’re also dealing with the rice whale bullshit. Offshore is a tough regulatory environment. If Trump eased many of the offshore regulations, I think we would see increased drilling offshore. They’re making money at $25 a barrel. But in $40 oil, nothing is getting drilled onshore. Your best Delaware acreage is probably breaking even at that price point. Big companies would drill to maintain lease. Others will close shop.
