It’s throwback week!

I hear you. “But Brian, you run throwback schemes every week!”

Well, yes, that’s true, but sometimes I make earnest attempts at throwbacks and don’t just put my name on them!

Let’s explore some of my favorites that I’ve done.

If this game could end with a Seattle walk-off very, very soon, I’d appreciate it because it’s been a long day.

We found another one the next exit up, but we still have to go through the hassle of trying to get our money back from Hotels.com and the worry of whether our booking starting tomorrow in Nashville is real or imaginary.

Very cool that we booked a room on Hotels.com and then the hotel tells us when we arrive that the website never sent the booking to them until today, well after they were sold out.

If you ever want Funko Pops of Gunther from Friends, Wile E. Coyote, the new Falcon from the MCU, and other ones from sets that nobody wants, FYE if the place to go.

It’s essentially a brighter Hot Topic. Lots more toys and collectibles, tons of t-shirts, and a pretty small selection of vinyl.

The one in my mall closed about eight years ago and then reopened this spring!

If you were a real old guy you’d go get it yourself at FYE.

There’s a semi-new pizza spot near me that has great food, but after I signed for loyalty points, they started sending AI-generated ads for specials they run. This one, featuring the Eagles’ logo with a furry beak, is one of the better ones.

The game looks great, whether it’s their first game or not. It looks like there are some things that can be improved, but this is the first time I’ve even considered buying a console NASCAR game since Heat Evolution.

The Rays local Fox Sports/Bally Sports/Fan Duel Sports reporters tried that one year during the “We clinched” clubhouse celebrations and eventually just gave up

They might have just been too concerned with the amount of champagne and Budweiser that the reporter got doused with.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction
