It's a bummer that the recent reboot of The Odd Couple was so sucky because now that Colbert is unemployed, it'd be a good time to redo it with him and Steve Carell.

Just sold my first trading cards on eBay for the first time in over a decade (sold through my own site for a long time). Those fees are brutal! If anyone is interested in card lots for #StarTrek #OrphanBlack #StrangerThings #JamesBond or #Marvel, hit me up. Most batches have autos. #Collect

Me too. Who was the party in the White House then?

I challenge anyone to cite one single instance of private equity taking over a brand that was a positive for anyone other than the private equity firm. They literally ruin everything they touch.

I feel for every woman in our field. I can't tell you how many times one of these idiots come up to me AT A GIG and criticize my gear. Sir, I'm being paid to be here, you paid to be here, and your gear is sitting at home doing nothing soooo....

The whole card industry has changed since COVID, trading and TCGs. I collect almost no new product anymore because too many people have turned it into a get-rich-quick scheme and aren't interested in collecting or playing as much as flipping.

It still bums me out that I don't get excited about opening day anymore. The days of clearing my day and heading to the park early are long gone. I don't even watch on TV anymore and it's all the fault of John Fisher and Dave Kaval. Happy baseball season to those who still care.

That's a great album. Not my favorite of theirs but I've done a couple of the arrangements live myself. Also, how can that be an outlier with Edwin Starr also in the mix?

Anything "weird" gets compared to Zappa despite him never really dealing with microtonality to this degree. He was pretty firmly planted in the blues tradition, he just expanded it. These guys are something different altogether.

You can almost set your watch to Fetterman disappointing his constituents.

Every time he's on a screen he's being grilled about something that has nothing to do with the Treasury. Does the media believe he's the VP? They sure don't ask Vance these types of questions.

Fetterman has his rubber stamp ready.

He continued "the sky is blue, water is wet, fire makes an ouchie if you touch it, and tigers make terrible housecats."

Ireland was my favorite place I've visited. I was there for a week in 2015 and by the end of it I was looking up immigration process and property prices. I'd love to go back.

I hate it here.

Ha, actual experts say that if that shipping route stays closed for three weeks the entire global economy will collapse. Guess we'll have to wait and see who's correct.

What happened? You rushed into something with minimal (at best) planning or forethought and put the least educated and most ill-equipped people imaginable in charge of a strategy that experts have struggled with for decades. What could go right?

I've been off caffeine since November. Not sure it's making any difference but it sure limits my options when I eat out. I think at this point three shots of espresso would get me around the bases in about 6 seconds.

Did Kobe stop when he tied whoever held the record before him?

If you haven't done so already (you haven't), please give my band a follow. We're lining up some fun gigs, adding some great songs to our set, and working on our second album.

I wish everyone I liked from over there was over here.
