@jowrotethis.bsky.social When you talk about cringe factor with shows… were you a Friends fan and when they leaned into Ross (specifically) getting into cringe setups, did it make you not want to watch? I’ve never been able to put into words why I can’t do certain shows (NFY is top of the list.)

@howardbeck.bsky.social The 30 seconds on The Bermanator in the pod felt like it was to an audience of like, 50 - and damn am I glad I was one of them. I even imagined the Marc mumble. 😂

First, @pablo.show came for the richest owner in sports. I said nothing because fuck the oligarchy. Then Pablo came for Tim Tebow. I said nothing because fuck that fraud. Then Pablo came for Bill Cosby. I said nothing because fuck him & his pudding pops. Then Pablo came for Magic and I…“OH COME ON!”

Super niche and nerdy (just how you like it, amirite?)… but does anyone else in the world hear Sweet Freedom by the legend Michael McDonald and after thinking of Gregory Hines & Billy Crystal AT FIRST; hears him say “Always searching for the real thing…” and thinks of the Pepsi ad campaign?

“Meow” card, number 12… meow.

I have, like, 1000, but… “Maybe I caught the acting bug when I was sitting on Brooke Shields’s lap.” (Context: I was a child.)

Old school twitter-style confessional here: 50 is fucking. me. up. Not sure why, but a lot of trauma and emotions hitting differently. Hell, it’s only been 11 minutes. 😂

@ramonaespn.bsky.social Is this for the Lakers scoop? Nope. Is this for the fast turnaround on the story? Nope. Is this for the perfectly timed burn on @bannedmacmahon.bsky.social ? Abso-f’ing-lutely. (Love ya, Tim.)

The first Cuban I ever had in Miami. The first mojito and churrasco steak I had from a restaurant on 96th & 2nd. The original hot dogs at old Yankee Stadium. I could go on and on…

Watched Dink last night. Cute enough, a couple decent laughs. It’s basically Temu-Happy Gilmore.

The fucking balls.

Don’t know if any baseball-fan followers are near Cooperstown, but if you are, this should be a great event!

I’m sure it would cost me the election, but if I were running in this cycle, I would be way too eager to respond with, “and much like Olive Garden isn’t real Italian food, voter fraud requiring these measures isn’t a real issue.”

@minakimes.bsky.social re: Hitch rewatchables. I told my fiancé when we first started dating: the difference between charming and stalking/creepy is whether you think the guy is an 8 or a 5.

Me yesterday: This is the worst day I’ve had in awhile. My stomach this morning two minutes before clock-in: BET.

I’ll be honest, had I known the Piff show at Flamingo was going to be filled with the most obnoxious children in history, I would not have chosen this for our show to see.

I’ve been shaving my dome since Stone Cold made it cool for the second time. (Telly Savales obviously the first).

I’m not saying I’m high, but… I had a 10 minute existential crisis when I saw a bird land awkwardly, then have 2 aborted takeoffs, then just flap on the ground as I was approaching from a good distance away. Try to save it? Put it out of its misery? Let nature decide? My decision was:

Watching the people in this bar react to this Cup game really helps me understand how we are in the political situation we are in.

Yup. Talia, Maria, and countless others (MOSTLY WOMEN OF COURSE) have called this from the start. What a disgrace.

Anyone have any healthy strategies for high anxiety dogs during this stressful weekend of kabooms?

… who was quickly picked up by Al Capone’s men and shuttled back to 1931.

A fucking Republican-lite Nazi wins a primary: “Blue no matter who! Take all our money and resources!” A DSA/WFP candidate who was a teacher, a nurse, and served in a soup kitchen wins a primary: “I’m leaving the f’ing party! I’m politically homeless! God, what have you done?!”

Ok, I’m high as a kite, so this may be that, but… have you ever tried going to bed at dusk? There’s something so magical about it. And it’s such a peaceful vibe as you’re winding down.

I wanted the Knicks to win it in NY… until I saw Oakley was there in San Antonio. Fuck you Dolan. #nbasky

Holy shit holy shit holy shit. #nbasky

I just bet on the Spurs to win the Finals solely because of dumbass Dolan’s appearance on radio. #nbafinals

I think what infuriates me most about Jeff Flake (my Sen for some of the time I lived in AZ), is I think he absolutely gets high on his own supply. He’s so deep in his own bullshit, he believes it’s what roses smell like. He’s not Graham, McConnell or Johnson who know they’re lying to your face.

I have to admit, I didn’t think I would ever get one. I just went 82-0, think you can go 82-0? www.82-0.com/share?id=nxW...

And… if the allegations are true, and the nazi tattoo is real, and the other shit that won’t fit in the characters allowed are accurate… yeah, I kinda would rather not win that seat and focus elsewhere.

A) This game is definitely addictive (thanks @johnhollinger.bsky.social) B) Sooo close! I just went 81-1, think you can go 82-0? www.82-0.com/share?id=wqf...

The Grim Reaper has a chance to do the funniest thing ever.

After those first two games were so good, the only thing I’ll remember from game three is the girl above Mitch Johnson’s left shoulder. #nbasky

Walt Frazier has that Barney Stinson ability to know exactly when the camera is about to go on him. Lookin’, feelin’, smellin’ like a million bucks-ahh.

wtf is victor wembanyana #nbasky

Cleveland may want to sign the dude that just nailed that half court shot for $10k. Felt no nerves, hit all net. #nbasky

I feel bad for Jalen Duren. He is lighting fire to millions of dollars every game. He will still get paid, but no way is he getting the max at this point. #nbasky

Name a song with girl in the title but replace with squirrel: Squirrel, You’ll be a Woman Soon

Ohhhh noooo

One benefit of this blowout was that mini-tribute on the broadcast to Mo Cheeks. Not a single lie was spoken. #nbasky

I usually like Doris but she’s insufferable tonight. #nbasky

@manicsocratic.bsky.social Happy birthday, my dude! Hope it’s a great day for you.

@pablo.show One benefit of your recent “major award” is when I was explaining the Enhanced Games to my fiancé, and she didn’t believe me; when she asked where I heard about it, I got to say, “From the Pulitzer-winning podcast I listen to…”

If Game 2 is another blowout, can we just get Oubre and Hart to do competing roasts or pranks or something? Would be more entertaining. #nbasky

It’s been at least 15 years since I’ve felt this level of Lakers fan hood/Celtics hatred. I blame the insanity of these playoffs. God, this feels great though. #nbasky
