Bill Simmons. He gets shit from some corners but I think his career arc is amazing.

The Bar A call out was good but the Parker House one was a cut above.

I’ve watched the first 3 episodes. I think it’s great. I just hate all the commercials with Hulu.

I firmly believe Ethan Hawke currently holds the title of “Best Guest of a Show” right now. Dude has endless stories, great insight & wisdom and ultimately just seems like an awesome hang.

The last time I saw My Morning Jacket was way back in 2011. It was amazing. I'll finally get to see them again tomorrow night, and I'm stoked. Need to get into MMJ mode today. Giddy up.

Really liking this new tune by Drew Daniels w/ Tomorrow Bad Seeds & Kai Boy (of Iration.) Smooth vibe, gets the head-bobbin' and shoulders swaying in a much-needed way after a tough Phillies' loss.

Appreciate the Greenwell mention. He was one of my first favorite players growing up. Just a solid player.

They’re definitely gonna start selling merch that says “No Way Norway!”

I’m not a gambling man, but I’d put a couple bucks on this happening by 3pm est today.

White House staff should just make and show him an AI-generated video where he wins, fly him to Duluth and tell him it’s Oslo, and dare the New York Times to say anything more than “Experts disagree about whether Mr Trump was awarded the Nobel Prize”.
