Kelly Preston, man. What a classic beauty. R.I.P. there, too.

Consecutive dinners at Ruby's with an overcooked steak. Will have to closely monitor that situation with remaining gift card balance.

Vegas the weekend before Christmas in the works.

Alex Jones deserves his own special place in hell with John Wayne Gacy and Mark Blankenbaker.

 

[KingLlama]

Chris Oats being included in the LB picture at today's Media Day gave me goosebumps.

 

[Wrong]

 

[BMoore2]

So I guess his lawyers “accidentally” sent two years’ worth of his text messages/emails to opposing counsel and did nothing when they were told about it? And now the messages are being used at trial. Yikes.

When your own attorneys think you’re a big enough POS to sabotage your case, you’re a big POS.

 

[rudd1]

-cole's on main last night for date night. Never disappoints. The beef shoulder was on point...and they always have some sort of mushroom special from that place in berea.

-watching the Lincoln lawyer on Netflix. It's is some serious lcd ********,surprised it doesnt have ncis/law and order in the title...it'll kill some time.

^looking forward to the new season of the crown.

I haven't followed it. With the money he's made, you would think he's got top notch counsel. He comes across as a bloviating idiot but he didn't get that net worth (presumably) by being a simpleton.

If that's true, that's unbelievable and likely means he's got a solid malpractice claim against his lawyers. I would suspect there is more to that story than meets the eye but in this case there very well may not be.

* My favorite part of using Gmail is when my emails just completely disappear. HUGE fan of that. And the search function is amazing. There are people I e-mail on a daily basis who, when searched, it turns out I've only sent them like 2 emails and they were both 5 years ago. Fascinating.

* Turns out this guy is an American hero. Fighting for the rights of 9/11 responders and wounded veterans.



The next time I hear/see someone say X or Y political party cares about veterans, I'm quickly pointing out they're being lied to. Neither one cares. This guy -- a former stand-up comedian, fights government bureaucracy and ******** and gets things done. (insert applause emoji)

* Living at 10,200 feet has been incredible. 1 month down, 1 to go.

- wake up at 5:30
- drink coffee and read for an hour or two
- work for 2-3 hours
- go on a hike/run/etc for a few hours in the late morning/early afternoon
- late lunch
- shower up
- sit around drinking beers and enjoying the weather

Low of 44 today. High 71. Sunny and perfect.

* The best part of the Gonzaga series is that it's a TRUE home-and-home. Real fans and students and band members in attendance. I totally get why Cal wants the big city, big lights matchups, but for REAL fans, a home-and-home is so much more enjoyable -- in person or on television.

* "Mark Stoops doesn't deny Axl Rose resemblance, others notes from KSR appearance."

Kudos to KSR for the headline.

* Following Chris Oats' recovery on social media is something else, man. What a hero.

* I've never felt more confident about the future of the Cincinnati Reds. They trade veterans all the time, but what they DON'T do is completely clean the house and build an incredibly deep farm system. It's been universsally agreed they got tremendous value on all their trades. Feels freaking great.

It's also looking increasingly likely that we've got 3 studs in the rotation for years to come -- Greene, Lodolo, and Ashcraft. I think 2023 will be a fun year, and 2024 we'll be ready to compete in a big way. Applause to Nick Krall. Unload the 3 biggest contracts (Votto/Moose/Minor) and we're in great shape. We're not that far away.

* Alex Jones actually DID get all that money by being a simpleton. His two 4-hour interviews on Joe Rogan were incredible. Just 240 straight minutes of screaming and ranting and raving while barely taking time to gasp for air. Despite Rogan giving him the biggest platform in media, he eventually turned on him. Rogan pretended he had no idea Alex Jones was so controversial, and said something like "man, he's got real issues." No kidding, Joe?

* John Cocktoestone.

 

[Kooky Kats_anon]

Got my 8 yo a pair of vintage Suncloud Scooter sunglasses for his birthday/beach. $8. Perfect

The split mirror rose lens remains to this day the best lenses ever made IMO.

 

[80 Proof]

I heard somewhere that Alex Jones owns a percentage of the royalty rights for Seinfeld. Dude is a nutcase for sure.

 

[gobigbluebell]

Alex Jones on Rogan is still the single most entertaining podcast in American history.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

Alex Jones on Rogan is still the single most entertaining podcast in American history.

I would normally agree, except for the 15+ times each show where Rogan had to scream "STOP STOP STOP STOP!!!" and force him to actually go back and explain some idiotic statement he made.

He literally ranted so quickly and uncontrollably he couldn't even be fact checked. Just a completely bizarre lunatic.

IIRC Rogan stipulated he would only have him on if they could fact-check him.

It still cracks me up he and Rogan are pals. How do you explain to your wife that you're bringing Alex Jones home for dinner?

 

[wcc31]

Wouldn’t be so sure the Gonzaga series is actually a true home-and-home. There’s some debate on whether UK will actually play on Gonzaga’s campus. Will likely end up in downtown Spokane. Not a big deal, IMO.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

You fact checking me, bro?

 

[wcc31]

You fact checking me, bro?

Just passing along what I heard on Gary Parrish’s podcast. Apparently, Cal never let Memphis play them on campus.

 

[jameslee32]

- I can’t for the life of me remember us playing Gonzaga in Maui in 2002. That’s rare.

I was in attendance that year. That's the year when I drove the road to Hana. I'm thinking off the top of my head it was a tight game for a while before that vaunted defense rallied the troops in the second half.

Depends on what we define as a home game.

Whether Villanova plays their opponent in their little on campus arena or where the Sixers play, it's still really a home game. Same for St. Johns at MSG vs on campus and many of those Big East schools.

...that's sort of the point

It's like WWF + Cocaine + Krazykat

Stop it. I’m not even comparable to that lunatic.

I report my life, as crazy as it may seem, it’s still nothing compared to that deranged psycho going ham for his psycho folllowers.

Automatically assuming that people you don't agree are stupid is buffoonery. I think Alex Jones is an embarrassment. I also think he intentionally antagonizes the media to cover him and knows that the coverage he will get will not be flattering and that will fuel his own media empire, which flat rakes.

TO BE CLEAR --> I FIND 99% OF WHAT HE SAYS TO BE ABHORRENT OR RIDICULOUS. I ALSO HAVE NO PROBLEMS WITH HIM GETTING A SIZABLE JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM IN THE SANDY HOOK CASE.

That said, the world is full of simpletons and there is only one Alex Jones (Thank God). To say he's a simpleton reflects more on you than him. He's loathsome, not stupid.

Writ large, I despise the widespread impulse to characterize successful people who have different political beliefs as "idiots", etc. They rarely are. Just as people who have built successful businesses are rarely idiots. That is the conceit of the intellectually uncurious.

 

[Ron Mehico]

If everyone’s goal and motivation in life was strictly to make money there would be a lot more rich ******** in the world. That’s great that Alex Jones sold his soul to the devil to make money, but some people have self respect and standards for themselves. He’s also a great example of someone who ended up making the money he so valued but will still end up as miserable as a homeless man.

So Alex Jones just has "different political beliefs" is all?

You can be successful and rich and still be a dumbass loser.

If you disagree, Hank, then I’m looking forward to your future essay on how brilliant and incredibly talented Nancy Pelosi is.

Thursday's Randoms...

- Good for UK and Stoops for keeping Oats around the team and providing support. Not only is it the right thing to do but it's also the kind of thing that can rally a team.

- Guess I'm living under a rock because I had never heard of Alex Jones until reading this page this morning.

- Youngest turned 1 yesterday...she smashed a chocolate cake. Think she's going to be a tall one as she's in the 85% on height. Now if we can get her sleeping through the night instead of her normal 3-4 wake-ups with a 5am wake-up call.

- Wife and I slipped down to Ft Myers this past weekend for 2 nights. First time away from both...took 3 grandparents to watch them and they were exhausted when we got home. Wife and I stayed at the Diamondhead resort on the beach and did nothing but gummies, beer, and sleep for 48 hours.

- I can remember just about everything UK bball related from my childhood up until '05 season. I've erased just about everything in my mind for the '06 through '09 seasons.

- Wish Cal would go back to Maui as I never got to make that trip. Have done just about everything else multiple times (multiple Champions and CBS Sports Classics, UK-IU in the dome and in Louisville, SEC, and NCAA Tournaments, etc). Will never forget Raftery yelling, "BRASSOW" after his tip in.

- Real estate market beginning to slow down a bit here. Houses staying on the market for a few days now instead of a few hours.

- I'm assuming Zags return trip next year will be played in Louisville. Do we still have access to their arena like we used to?

- Gainesville in 5.5 weeks!

 

[Rex Kwon Do]

The well thought out, hand-crafted artisan lease the Yum!! Center signed with the city says that UL has right to the schedule the day of/day before/day after any game for the Mens or Womens team….and that TOM has the right (in perpetuity even after being not invited to work anymore) to have oral, vaginal, or anal intercourse with any UK athletic faculty or staff at his discretion and leisure.

So we are effectively frozen out.

2 problems w/ this...

One, you're assuming Bell is still managing, and that is worth at least 10-15 losses.

Two, you're a Reds homer and know zilch about baseball in general.

In other words...stick to the mountains.

 

[wcc31]

- I’ve mentioned this before but we lived too far in the country for cable so until Dad got a DirecTV dish for the ‘95-96 season, he used to take me up to the country hole in the wall pub to watch any UK game on ESPN. I’d have a Milky Way and a Coke, maybe some Combos or Gold N Cheese, or a pack of Donruss. Dad would have a couple Beast Lites. Anyway, so I watched Brassow’s tip in there. Remember going nuts. My cousins- also way underage- were there too. It’s one of my Top 25 memories as a UK fan - the pure euphoria as we blew the roof off Miller’s Tavern, giving drunks high-fives. What a time to grow up as a UK basketball fan.

- Watching Netflix’s Woodstock 99 docuseries. It’s funny- I was 20 at the time and had a fairly eclectic group of friends. I knew people who’d listen to Marilyn Manson, Metallica, Backstreet Boys, even people who enjoyed some Limp Bizcuit songs (though I wouldn’t call them fans at all- just turn up “Nookie” in the car when it came on the Cat). Still, I don’t recall one person I ever came across liking Korn. In fact, I can’t name one Korn song.

 

[BBdK]

Chad is literally the only person on the planet who’s ever intentionally chosen a Milky Way, and lists it among his top 2-3 favorite candy bars.

What a bizarre dude.

 

[catlanta33]

That was one of the best docs I've seen. Knew Korn well and pretty much all those bands were who we would try to go see at the festivals in GA. 20 years later and I can recognize it's pretty awful music but the nostalgia of hearing some of those songs again was a welcomed feeling. Would have worshipped being there the first day and a part of that incredible scene of Korn kicking off their set and the entire crowd going apeshit. Their **** music aside, that was something else.

 

[rudd1]

-Nancy Pelosi is very intelligent/ masterful politician. also had a top notch rack as a young gal. Bad example.

-nothing wrong with a milky way every now and again.

-as someone who likes pretty much all music, including some really "heavy" stuff...Korn is awful. In fact most of the heavy stuff from late 90's through the 00's is forgettable. Didn't age well at all.

 

[cricket3]

Korn was considered the height of music at Russell County Middle School in the late 90's. I distinctly remember this being played at multiple school dances.




And this was one of the more iconic music videos of the TRL era, first non NSYNC / Backstreet Boys video to reach #1.



That said, looking back, the music was awful.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Call me crazy but when I think of pelosi the 2 things I do not think of are intelligence and a nice rack. But hey, that’s me.

 

[Ron Mehico]

Pretty sure Korn has that one video where there was a bullet in slow motion going through **** that was the top video on TRL for like a year which a 17 year old me thought was amazing
