3 out of my 4 last workdays I have been accosted by homeless. This morning, a dude tried to mug (pushed / grabbed on me trying to get my phone out of my pocket) me in front of the Garden. Mind you, I’m not a small guy.

These mf’ers used to be embarrassed and ashamed to be “bums”… Now they have progressed in the nuance as “homeless” and victims of the system.

im just a dude trying to do go to work and feed my family. These folks got nothing to lose and aren’t being treated as criminals so hey,… #why not.

So what did you do to said bum? I hope you gave him the ole 1-2 combination.

Speaking of being rich and white, I just boarded my flight for my 13 hour trip to KW to get this stupid pin finally out of my foot and I’m in first class (not having kids isn’t too bad) and this hussy is in my window seat. I’m like whatever so I sit next to her. She proceeds to put the window shade down and I’m like WTF? Why you want to steal the window seat if you’re just going to close the shade?

Michael Shellenberger was on Rogan last week talking about these issues in progressive cities." He's a bright guy with some interesting, worth a listen.

I was giving my best not to look at anyone… you just look down or glaze straight ahead. This guy made sure he started his yelling spiel a good 15’ in front of me, then blocked me from going forward.

“BRO, BRO!” Then he pushed on me and pushed my backpack strap off my shoulder and grabbed for my phone on my shirt pocket. I threw an elbow and screamed, “Don’t touch me!”… connected with his forearm.

that’s it. Nothing horrendous, but brazen and unfortunately becoming commonplace. Cops were half a block away, posted up.

BTW: I see as many strung out white 20-30 year old losers as I do black people. Heroin and Fentanyl are wrecking this country. Fentanyl exclusively from China… they are getting back from the Opium Wars.

When Cal got here, people talked about him being the perfect fit for UK basketball -- and he is. He has the charisma and salesmanship to lead Camelot.

But I'm not sure there has every been a better fit between the Kentucky fanbase and a coach than Stoops. That contrary little bastard is perfect for this Commonwealth full of obstinate hilljacks.

God I love that guy.

You can stay in Secaucus for a 1/4th of the price, and grab an MTA bus right outside of the hotel that gets you to the Port Authority terminal in 15 minutes. Screw staying in mid-town Manhattan.

You can stay in Picipsi for 1/32 the price. Just get a shuttle from picispi to willow bay for 2.50 they run 2 shuttles the 8:15 and the 8:35. After that you can get a cab to Al’s Gentry Shop to catch the metro to midtown if you can cut through the expressway traffic. Gotta make a sure the cabbies a local or they mess that up. But if not just get on the redline by 9:20 and it’s a straight shot to mid-town, otherwise you have that b-line through Harlem that gets dicey. As long as you make it through that you’ll get to mid-town by midday to avoid the whole end of day traffic. Those dipshits that stay in mid-town are losers.

What was I thinking? Needlessly wasting money is axiomatic in GYERO. LOL

(Honestly doesn't get the point of "sleeping" in Manhattan, which is the only time I'm IN my hotel room when I go to NYC. Even MORE so if you're staying in, LOL TIMES fvcking SQUARE, the Florence Mall of Manhattan)

I guess if you're "scared" of the big city and need your hand held it might help to stay there. You all probably take those bus tours.

When I was in New York City, the Big Apple as they call it, I stayed in an AirBnb in a true Manhattan neighborhood to get the authentic New York experience. It’s not for everyone. Several of you I know for a fact to be too soft to handle living as the New Yorkers live. I would suggest trying a piece of pizza in New York, which they call a “slice” and maybe a bagel. It’s known for each.

I have also been to both San Diego and San Francisco, and to multiple European countries if you need any more travel tips.

I only go to the beach for one thing: surfing.

It's all good. I realize some folks are intimidated by having to navigate around and in major metropolitan areas. Times Square is perfect for you.

Chad, if you want a great bagel, take PATH to Jersey City, catch the light rail to Hoboken, and go to Hidden Grounds. The rest of you should probably stick to one of those generic carts in Bryant Park. It's close by, so you won't risk getting lost.

Well, I’m 3 for 3 with American Airlines in the last 2 months on getting delayed every time and finally tonight I’m stuck in Charlotte at a Microtel Inn (airport voucher).

Done with AA, that’s just terrible and I have a surgery in the morning I’m going to miss but hopefully they can work me in anyway. Now I get to fly from EYW>DFW>LEX tomorrow which will take 8 hours and I don’t get in until midnight. Only reason I didn’t go with delta is they want $1000 for the same flight AA wanted $414.

Have to be at the DR back in Lex Wednesday at 7am. Fun times. Never seen so many doctors in my entire life combined versus 2021. Still have 4 more DR visits scheduled this year. 40 coming at me hard! Hopefully done for a looooong while after this next couple months.

Insurance has to love me, pay $91/month and have racked up over $70K in claims since August. The average person cannot afford health insurance, so touched up. Switching to the Hyatt’s global insurance ASAP next year. Flying 2400+ miles round trip for a 13 hour stay and 1 doctor visit because it’s cheaper than out of network is ridiculous.

End Stupid Healthcare Rant for the 2nd time.
