Gladwell book was just ok- imo. Interesting topics but It kind of got dull toward the end. I thought a few of his books were like that. Maybe why the podcast format works better for him. Or could be my ADD bc Its tough for me to get through just about any book of decent length.

I haven't seen it but I did watch a review that mentioned a graphic scene where they force feed an old lady manure as part of torture. My only reaction to that was why in the hell would anyone want to watch that? Enjoy tho.
Definitely didnt see that. All I saw was a preview about a group killing nazi's that were living among them.
I believe they had dollar drafts.
When I started architecture school, just out of high school, once of my classmates had already been at UK three or four years and was already a “former” fraternity president. He always talked about dollar draft night at Cooker.
- Not to totally bring it back to yesterday's convo, but met our Dear Leader yesterday. Always surreal.
- Even more surreal riding in the presidential motorcade, I was in an SUV towards the back. Pretty bad ***.
- Trump rallies are exactly what you'd expect from the people who attend to how the president delivers. Trump spent about 30 minutes last night going over polls from debates four years ago showing that he won every single one. :joy:
- Looking forward to hitting Hoots and zoning out this afternoon.

Millennium Wed nights, $.25 Silver Bullet drafts.
I once recommended Gladwell's Outliers to my Chevy Chase smug academia leftist elite father in law and I don't think he's ever forgotten it. Believe he made some backhanded reference to the 13 books he's published as being held to a different standard than Gladwell or something but glad I enjoyed it. It was a pretty strong position iirc.
I expect some GYERO kickbacks of some type when you’re eventually appointed to Trump’s cabinet, Tommy.
I have no clue wtf you do exactly, but I’m just assuming your like “the guy” when someone says “I got a guy”, and then gives a snake oil grin.
In all honesty, it’s pretty fascinating watching you go from community college computer lab monitor to riding in a Presidential motorcade.

From peeing into his neighbors porch door to the POTUS motorcade. America truly is the land of opportunity!
If he's in the Trump cabinet I believe he's obligated to:
1. Get Fired and made fun of on Twitter.
2. Go to jail.
3. Write a book with bombshell accusations about Trump or his kids.
Speaking of “a guy,” I always got the impression from hanging around occasional GYERO poster Misterface that politicians are desperately in need of young, aggressive yes men completely willing to stick their neck out on the line and get their hands (very, very) dirty to benefit their candidate. Tommyg seems like the perfect guy who will do anything to get his guy ahead.
He’s like that perfect little weasel Jamie who ran Mayor Richmonds campaign in The Killing.
(backhanded compliment)

Nothing more enjoyable than sitting down and reading a boring, pompous, self-sucking “academic” paper bound in book form and submitted to a journal that was probably paid to publish it.
All things I could see Tommy accomplishing in very short order.
Revisionist History was good the first season and then Gladwell decided to go after golf, now he is dead to me. Plus, it got really weird...like if Joey had a podcast weird.
Season 1 of 'The Killing' was absolutely :fire:
The cliff hanger + building theme music to end each episode was just fantastic. Been meaning to watch Forbrydelsen, but never get around to it.

- Pretty sure the "Silver Bullet" at Millennium was whatever was left from the "spoilt" kegs. It was awful . . . and Coors is my domestic of choice.
- Nich. Rd. O'Charley's random weeknight order = 1/2 price chicken wing app on a bed of tortilla chips with celery and blue cheese + a pitcher. Total cost plus tip was 10 bucks.
- My dad was a deputy coroner for a little while. He had to do some training for it, which meant he had to take a yearly trip to Louisville to listen to the state medical examiner and watch video clips of weird/gross stuff. One year he came back and told me, "Fido will eat your ***," as it pertains to pets eating their owners posthumously. Probably the only domesticated animal that wouldn't eat you (should you die alone and miserable) is a fish. Plan accordingly.
- I once got kicked out of Yesterday's Billiards at 5:00 p.m. The sun was still up. And when I say "I got kicked out," I mean, "a group I was rolling with that decided it was a good idea to do shots of liquor between sessions of the state tourney got kicked out." Basically, the owner got into a heated argument with one of our group members after he cut us off. He said he didn't run that kind of establishment and prided himself on the billiards afficianadoes that brought business to his bar. After he was ridiculed for this stance by other members of our group (it was brought to his attention that we were the only ones there spending money), we were tossed. But not before some pushing, shoving, and the owner successfully spitting on one of us. That was ~15 years ago. Maybe we will be welcome in the new location? #RIP

I sold three trailers over the last 6 months. One was a 12 ft single axle I let go for $300
I have a published article on a 6 hour round with some of my best buds at the legendary Madisonville Mexican Restaurant & Golf Club. Should've won a Pulitzer but it was ahead of it's time.
Can vouch for Pompilio's. You rec'd that to me about 6/7 years ago. It is the truth. Same for the Izzy's for just a quick sammich. Wife worships that place (Rueben). Much props. Can't remember the burger joint you rec'd. But it was fire. The Tavern place was OK, Macs and Cheese is what i remember best.
Seems like just yesterday Chad's Cincy food recs consisted of a chain deli, local chain pizza, and OBryan's for wings/fried appetizers.
Now he's basically a Pete Wells/Rick Steves hybrid. Smh

My buddy’s father-in-law is an orthopaedic surgeon in the Southeast and responded similarly to when Dr. James Andrew was brought up to him.
“Ahh Jimmy? He’s all right, I guess.”
There’s no pretense to a meal at Pompilios. Just the opposite, actually.
I’ll always value atmosphere and vibe to food at a restaurant. That hasn’t changed.
Also, Hank- forgot about Newport Pizza Company and O’Bryons. Both good spots for a bite and a brew.
This sounds like a restaurant critic responding to internet comments on one of his recently posted articles.
I’d rather eat at a hole in the wall with great food than be forced to eat marginal food just because the place has a cool vibe.
Meh, go there for drinks afterwards.

Oh you like food? Couldn’t tell.
