Drury….right now enjoying our “free drinks and food” from 5:30-7:00…I’ve never seen a hotel do this. Drink 2 is good. They give you 3 drinks. 


Embassy Suites used to have happy hour 5-7. Local beer and wine free, liquor half off. Too many businessmen and conferences were getting out of hand lol. Nationwide they went to drink tickets per day, and you get 3.

My mom and dad saw it, they loved the original and thought this one sucked. I haven’t seen it yet. 


They are old and don't like fun. LOL

If I mostly forgot about the original Twister movie would it affect my watching of the new one?

Its closer to a remake than a sequel. They tie in the tech of Dorthy to read tornados as now being commonplace, but thats really the only mention of the OG.

Twisters. I think I liked it more than the OG. 9/10. Glen Powell continuing his ascent to true moviestar.

Glad you enjoyed! Arrowhead and Kaufman are in the middle of fucking nowhere. You have a giant parking lot and road circling them, and thats about it.

I lost, but my buddy nabbed Tuesday practice round. So I will be attending for the second time (Saturday of 2019 was my last one).

I must be along in wondering if Rodgers might end up washed. Not in the sense that Manning was, cause he has the arm that wont give out in that way. But he hasnt played in a long time, has had a lot of injuries the last few yrs, and in general hes just freaking old.

At least one of these will happen. 

I agree. I think the Jets get at least a win.

I don't like Chicago Deep Dish, and prefer the tavern versions. But if you have to get deep dish, Lous is the best imo.


I would highly suggest going for a burger in Chicago at Au Cheval (or Small Cheval since you will be more north, and I think Wrigleyville has one). One of the best burgers I have ever had.


Saint Louis -- the best BBQ is not downtown. But if you cannot venture, the best imo is Bogarts Smokehouse. The rest are too modern/upscale, and have a real restaurant feel (like Sugarfire). They are delicious, but no old school pitmaster, etc. The 2 outside the city (about 30 min each). Dukes BBQ Shack and Ethyl's Smokehouse and Saloon.


Kansas City is EASY. Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que, and it HAS TO BE THE OG. The one in the Gas Station. Outside of a few spots I came to love in Raleigh/Durham when I lived there, this is consistently the best BBQ I have had in America. I like all sides, but never had their creamy slaw (spicy is good), favorite is dirty rice. Rocket Pig is my favorite sandwich, and probably the best item on menu -- though I am there so infrequently now, that I get meat by the weight and just get as much as I can eat (it is priced by the pound, you can usually get it at as little as 1/8 of a pound, though). 1000% get a piece of Texas Toast if your meal doesn't have it included.

I do think so. And it is the first time the Democratic party will have shown a spine in about 15 yrs. Probably takes them from like a 35% - 50%% chance to 45% - 60%. Imo, probably flips the current landscape (which I firmly believe is being blown out of proportion in favor of Trump). But also probably needs to be done, as I think Biden, before all of this stuff became too public to continue to deny, was a shoe-in (most will disagree) to runaway with the electoral again -- so, it has had a massive effect on voters and needs addressed.

This is weird to be watching. The course doesn't really appear to be all that tough today, yet it is eating some of these guys up. Definitely playing hard with the wind blowing opposite than usual, but no rain, 60s, wind is minimal, and greens are receptive. I am pretty stunned this isn't more of a go today.

Pitchers I think are very attainable:

  • Kikuchi
  • Fedde
  • Flaherty
  • Efflin
  • Eovaldi (if Rangers struggle out of break)


Pitchers who would take Manzardo or CDL + others:

  • Skubal
  • Crotchet


Hitters who are attainable:

  • Ward
  • Arozarena
  • DeJong
  • Yates (Rangers start pending)
  • Bichette -- I would still kick tires on that history


Dream hitters who would take CDL or Manzardo + others:

  • Robert

Make some damn moves. The pipeline was majorly restocked, trade your top prospects for some proven talent!

Mitchell back makes me very happy. And at $50M a year, it is shockingly cheap lol.

My Surface is 90% Youtube TV (especially since the Euros are on) and the rest dumb shit Slack convos. 


Also your lack of cable management triggers my OCD. :)

My cables are managed. Phone charger is out, and headphone connection is out on the left side. Thats it lol. And the headphone charger next to the phone charger.

I can technically split the bigger monitor into a quad (2, 3, or 4 window) split, but the resolution quality goes way down hill once I go to more than 3 out of the laptop via lightning port. Kinda frustrating. I wish had 6 windows — 5 for work and 1 for TV.

You watched it? What did you think?

I thought S1 was a little out there and slow at times. But they really wrapped it up amazingly and I was completely invested. I think binging would’ve made the experience better, but we started when it was episode 3, so only got to binge the start, then it was week to week.

I’m ready for the “hawk tuah” girl’s 15 minutes of fame to be up. 

No way. This is the first viral thing that has made me actually laugh at multiple memes and gifs. This is great.
