I used to say that I'd forgotten more about pop culture than you'll ever know. Then I got old. Now I've forgotten everything.

I'm guilty of this, as it's Week One, and we're adjusting to The New Normal. But I've got new rules for 2025. If you're just gonna politidunk or repost a stream of "Can you believe what they did NOW?" stuff, then we're not gonna work out. My Zoloft dose just ain't strong enough for you.
If you played the song and/or video for the Spice Girls' "Goodbye" to someone not alive when it was released, they'd probably think the paparazzi had chased Geri into a tunnel.

All it would take to tank Rush Hour 4 is for Tucker or Chan to decline. Jackie has never said "No" to a dollar, but Chris... I dunno. He made, like, 8 movies and seems to be a billionaire. But maybe he's got integrity? Maybe?

I don't buy the Pete Davidson Alexa ad, as everyone knows his Echo device would be the first thing to go to the pawn shop when he was jonesing for a hit.

Some commercials really point out cultural differences. There's an Uber ad about an old man who takes Uber to get to his granddaughter's birthday party. And I'm like "Nobody could swing by and give the old man a ride?!" You ever see an old person struggle with Uber? Not pretty!

Jed Clampett would be a billionaire today. I guess that's the same adjustment for inflation that promoted Bruce Wayne from a millionaire to a billionaire

For roughly a year, Mercari let users comment on listings. Most comments were something like "Fkin scalper!", so you can imagine why that feature didn't last long.

There's a flagship TRU opening around here, and they STILL don't have an official opening date. Just "late November". If these fuckers aren't open by Friday, then what was the point?!

So, Shout Factory had a huge sale a month ago, just before they announced they were merging with Gruv. I have received no update, and have had to email twice. No response, but they printed a shipping label to shut me up. That's still not *movement*.

Once my manager rolled up on a scooter while I was in the middle of a sale.
"Matt. Betty or Veronica."
"Veronica," I said without missing a beat.
"Good man."
He patted my shoulder and rode off.
I closed the sale.

Wow, they're doing black Matt Trakker again. He was a boring character with a cool car. He was cartoon John Tesh. But I don't know if a race swap fixes that.

Nate Burleson is wearing something that looks like it came from a TNG yard sale, and I want to know where to get one.
