The one time I saw his new band play a (inaugural?) gig at Gravely Brewing that shirt was off after about the 4th song. 😎
May 24th, same bat time, same bat channel. Now with an extra hour added to the setlist! Bring your lassie, she had a blast.

Vans and a classic 80's metal tee are always in fashion.

'47 Brand has a sweet Valhalla UK logo hat. Best lid-maker in the game.

Nats surging? 7-3 their last 10 and winning road record. Still early, but it looks like they have some pieces. Get the Lerner's to sell to an owner willing to invest in arms and they could be a threat in '26. Or just keep me semi-interested until Independence Day.

Cannot recall the last time I went to a fast food chain. Places nauseate me. A local greasy spoon dive is the play for hangovers *if* your coconut water miraculously fails.

Got a new Weber pellet grill last month, been wearing it out. Things are a cheat code for smoking delicious meats; all effort to keep an overnight smoke is gone and the apps nail the duration with pinpoint accuracy.

God bless you guys on the super secret that can follow and decipher all this portal movement. Seems stressful AF (queue the Charlie Day ‘Sunny’ image). I’m sure you multiply that tenfold for staffs trying to take advantage while praying they can hold on to anyone from the prior year.

Rewatching Deadwood for the 5th or 6th time. Gets better with each viewing. Also infuriates me more each time thinking about how the HBO brass was too shortsighted to have a fourth season with proper closure. And spare me that dogs breakfast of a movie they whipped up a few years back. It should be wiped from existence.
 
Unreal the changes in UK basketball the last month. Couldn’t be more excited.

The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.


I’ve been all over KY for work the last month. It’s unreal the excitement. Hickman to Ashland. Can’t say Pikeville to Paducah, closest to Pikeville I’ve been is Manchester.

Going to the PGA on Saturday. Should’ve went earlier, afraid the goat won’t be around. (Reverse Chumps)

Every time I see the Poll: Is there a God? I immediately see Michael Scott saying “if not, what are all the churches for? And who is Jesus’ dad?”
 
Class move on South Carolina's part to let Noah out of his NLI without any rigamarole. I've got my eye on Lamont Paris. Dude is going places.

In unclassy news, my wife and I just bought hotdogs from a nice buxom lady wearing a "I ❤️ WEINERS" shirt who was manning a hotdog cart. I might be in Huber heaven.

What is Noah's game like? Can he be a backup stretch 4 next year?

“Look to the mountains”
Psalm 121 Levavi oculos

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills; *
from whence cometh my help?

My help cometh even from the LORD, *
who hath made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved, *
and he that keepeth thee will not sleep.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel *
shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD himself is thy keeper; *
the LORD is thy defence upon thy right hand;
So that the sun shall not burn thee by day, *
neither the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil; *
yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in, *
from this time forth for evermore.
 
-Hold on, you people drink a Coke with breakfast? Not an OJ and coffee from McDicks? Wow.

-Pti is correct and I’ve been saying it for years. Every middle class male in Kentucky has the exact same wardrobe.

Almost all earth tones besides an occasional light blue shirt, horrible dad shoes, polo or button up tucked in.

Even shoes that need to be tied (low top adidas/vans) aren’t tied for me, maybe tied and tucked in but they haven’t been retied in weeks, loafers or flops or cowboy boots.

You’ll never see me walking around in gd tennis shoes like I may have to run a 10K at any moment, that’s just a terrible look IMO.

That being said I’m sure most think I dress like a beach bum/gym rat/kid so fair is fair.

It’s basically a uniform with short shorts of a color (not khaki), long sleeve athletic thin hoodie or long sleeve Henley with low tops on and always a hat. That’s the going out look.

Dressing up is athletic/slim fit slacks with loafers/flops/low tops and a polo or button up. Always one color (shorts/shirt) will be popping, pink, light blue, tropical green, yellow, white, etc and the opposite will be neutral gray white black or navy.

Nothing but gym and errands? It’s my gym clothes all day, I’m going to sweat 5-7x a day so why bother sweating in something else. I don’t get the stinky pits so we’re good there.

-Mainlanders are like 50% Karens at a bar apparently. “Hey my check is off a dollar? Can you fix it?”

“Just take it out of whatever you were going to tip me, no worries.” Doesn’t work like it does on the islands. They’re calling the next day about the dollar 😂. Wow.

You didn’t say anything when I presented the check, now it’s cashed out and closed. Can I go back in re-open the check, void the transaction, re-ring the bill with a “don’t make” for the kitchen, print it out, let you check it and run your card again for a dollar less?

Sure but that’s 3-5 minutes of business time I’m making money, next time he’ll get a dollar out of my pocket. Grow up.

New/second job is not like that at all. Much more Keys-ish, I dig both but the new one is quickly becoming my favorite. Helps that it’s a pool bar.

-3rd date with the old lady Jacked Jessica tonight. Art show with live music at a brewery, chick picks cool events. She said be outside at 7:30, I’ll text you on the way and pick you up.

Yes ma’am 🫡.

In the wild heart of Kentucky, the middle-class male population marches to the beat of a singular sartorial drum. Picture this: earth tones dominate the landscape, occasionally punctuated by the rebel yell of a light blue shirt. Dad shoes, relics of a bygone era, trudge alongside, while polo or button-ups stand at attention, dutifully tucked in. Shoes, neglected and rebellious, remain untied for weeks on end, defying convention with every step. Loafers, flops, or the iconic cowboy boots complete the ensemble, a testament to individuality in a sea of conformity. But tennis shoes? No, dear reader, that would be sacrilege—a heinous affront to Rogue’s sense of style. No, for them, the going-out garb is a calculated affair: short shorts, a wispy hoodie or a rugged long sleeve Henley, low tops, and always, always a hat, perched jauntily atop their head like a crown. And when the occasion calls for a touch of class, it's slim-fit slacks paired with loafers, flops, or low tops, a riot of color against a backdrop of neutrality. Gym-bound or errand-bound, Rogue’s philosophy remains steadfast: why bother with anything but gym clothes when the sweat is destined to flow like the bourbon of their homeland? Stinky pits? Non-existent in the realm of the unapologetically cool.
 
- I’ve been wearing exclusively stretchy clothes everywhere…because I’m pregnant. The rest of you are slobs and poors, obv.

- I found out shortly before the Cal nightmare ended. I cried during the Pope press conference because I had hope I would get to share Kentucky basketball with my kid the way my dad shared it with me.

Today, I found out I’ll get to teach my baby BOY how to be a Wildcat. 💙

- I took my first ever George Costanza desk nap yesterday in desperation. I gotta hand it to the faux-architect, it was surprisingly comfortable.

- Elly stole two bases in the time it took for me to type this post. 🥵

Edit: Congrats on the baby pretzel, your announcement wasn’t there when I started my post an hour ago.


The #1 and #5 scorers in KHSAA history played for the state championship 2 months ago and not only did no one on staff go watch them, despite their season being over, they actively didn’t want them.

Cal would have preferred the son of a Dunkin franchisee in Mt Lebanon PA over a top 150 Kentucky kid to fill out the roster.
 
The only reason to ever drink OJ is in a screwdriver, and even then, it's terrible, unless you add some Campari and make it an angry screwdriver. It is an infinitely better drink.

I love eggs benedict, but blackstone beats the hell out of it.

@pretzel__logic, congrats! That’s awesome!

I had a feeling you were possibly knocked up after a comment you made I think in the Fityero thread about not being able to lift heavy or something. Am i remembering that correctly?
😂 yep. OB cleared me to do pretty much anything that feels okay, although I’ve felt so shitty I’ve managed to lift about 5 times the entire trimester. Feeling better now, finally.

You're disqualified for ordering f*cking water with breakfast.

What is wrong with you all? Order a damn Egg McMuffin, bagel or bacon, egg and cheese biscuit like a non-alien. Then add a goddamn sidecar sausage burrito. Large Coke.
 
For the home hangover, keeping a pack of the frozen Trader Joe's hash browns on hand to air fry is clutch. They aren't exactly like McD's but close enough that some French press, toast with butter and jam, and a couple of eggs scrambled with boursin will get you ambulatory.

A McDonalds Sausage biscuit with grape jelly is delicious. Will I choose it over a bacon egg and cheese? No. Will I sometimes use the bogo coupon in the app and pair them with Coke Zero for $2.58 and feel terrible the rest of the day? Possibly.
 
Congrats, pretzel!

Weather porn is getting out of hand. Schools closing early, people buying groceries like it’s the end of the world and friends calling to see if I’m worried about the impending doom.
Geez, it’s spring and you get thunderstorms, who knew.

Casual and damn comfortable when not in public. Expensive, designer, cutting edge when out just to mock the others that actually pay for theirs. It’s nice to get everything free.

If you aren’t putting mustard on a sausage egg McMuffin you’re missing out.

Anyone else with a significant other with avoidant issues? Makes a relationship interesting to say the least and the fact they have to have time to themselves is a godsend.
Me: Do you mind if I, insert anything, for a few hours?
Her: sure, go ahead.
 
Congrats Pretzel! Just don’t fire that child out with muzzle velocity during squat session.

For texture reasons alone the OG Egg McMuffin rules the roost. That’s why they’re never discounted unlike the rest of the miserable McDs breakfast items.

Super 70s Sports guy would be a good guest host @MattJonesKSR

speaking of breakfast, taking my boys to Barney Greengrass (Sturgeon King) on Saturday morning. Never been. Closer than Russ&Daughters.

My influx of ignored evening emails is so packed with oncoming bullshit, I don’t want to go in tomorrow… or Friday. Cheap deadbeat clients. I wanna go Lucca Brasi on these rat bastards.

Krazy got a bottle of that yak and he digs it. Pop it, Anth.

Robin successfully terrorized all cars parked on driveway. We have gentleman’s agreement (apparently) that if we park on street in front of house, he won’t sit on rear view mirrors and shit all over the paintwork. Little asshole. I think I broke my thumb punching window frame trying to scare him away.
