and then they never land the plane. Then get interrupted by a different tangent from a cohost and the whole crew moves on in the conversation without ever finishing the point. Love that.

I was just on a week's vacation with my parents who are only in their mid-60's and the roles have shifted. I think I said "can you both stop looking at your phones?" like five times a day. It was like parenting pre-teens.

Not a shot at the Cubs. I'm saying they behave as if they've never seen the Yankees win the World Series.

The fact that they're basically all Yankees fans who behave like pre-2016 Cubs fans puts out enough of a lack of self-awareness stench to turn me completely off. (Example: They put out a video last year with Aaron Judge highlights set to the Moneyball score). I guess my instincts were correct.

1. The first I've ever heard of it was a few weeks ago when I heard that my city would be hosting some matches.
2. No, but I know at least four games will be in Cincinnati!
3. I don't know when it's happening, but I know at least four games will be in Cincinnati!
4. No

I've seen Eagles fans already griping about their draft. They enjoyed the Super Bowl for like 11 minutes.
It actually feels liberating to see another fanbase like that because I know that the Bengals could win the super bowl and it wouldn't solve my problems.

Injury luck is a big part of it at that level. My teammate might have been able to claw his way to the show, but he kept getting injured and just didn't want to do the minor league grind anymore.

I don't know any steelers fans who actually know ball. The team's been not bad for so long that they all have this warped, optimistic view of any player who signs as if the uniform is magical (and they may be right). They're the only NFL fanbase who doesn't hate their team. It makes me nuts.

I always think about my high school baseball teammate who was freakishly good compared to us. Got drafted by the Tigers in the 4th round, all conference big 12, never made it out of AA ball.

I learned how to drive in Columbus. I realize now after living in other cities that Columbus is a weirdly difficult place to learn directions and learn how to drive. Mostly it's that there isn't a big obvious landmark to orient yourself to. Like in Chicago you always know where the lake is.

On a family trip as a kid I have very vivid memories of my parents yelling at each other because we got lost in Montreal during rush hour. Youths will never know the feeling of sitting in the backseat thinking their parents will get a divorce because of maps.

Someone at my office cleans up the coffee everyday at 1:30 and I think that is far too early. At least let it get to 2.

When I was 26 I landed a job with an ad agency in Seattle and I thought I was the King of Cool Guy Mountain. Still will randomly think of things I said and did at that place that makes me shiver for like 10 straight minutes. I'm doing it now.

I don't like that Nicole Kidman is in like 11 different streaming shows. I don't like that every conversation is "Have you watched Small Tiny Pretty Objects? It's on Blokl" I don't like that the way I discover shows is press releases like "Show with promising premise Cancelled after one season"

I love that it's made a return recently with "baddies". I think that's a good development.

I would like new and recent WNBA fans who've never watched other sports before to ask "Is this normal in sports?" before getting upset at something.

Missed this. What’d you go with?

It's bad with old people too. I just spent a week with my parents on a beach vacation. I don't think the boomers looked up from their facebook reels or their Candy Crush one time in six days.

We need to address the growing Meme Illiteracy problem on social media.

It's weird how that works. I didn't marry her, but I was with my college girlfriend for 5 years and our lives were very intertwined. Now 14 years later she feels like someone else's life. Truly is just somebody that I used to know. I think the last time we even texted was 6 years ago.

The O’s logo is problematic because some people might make two ridiculous leaps in order to take offense. In order to avoid any possible accidental accidental injury, I suggest returning to the logo that looks like an illustration from a damn textbook.

All of their AI use case fantasies sound awful - "What if there were a movie or book designed specifically for you?" I would hate it thanks

Friend of mine played D1 golf. +3 handicap at his best. Blew my mind when he insisted that I'm closer to him than he is to the worst players on tour.

I got showered, dressed and ready for the day every day as if I was reporting somewhere. A weird thing I found helpful was I had to wear shoes. I know some people are very opposed to wearing shoes in their homes, but it locked my brain into work mode.

Bengals-Steelers 2015. Burfict INT gives the Bengals the ball in Pit territory with the lead and under 2 minutes left against the evil Steelers. Game over. Wrong. Jeremy Hill fumbles and then the meltdown.
I decided that night that I would never let sports control me again. Changed the way I fan.

Hate to sound like a geezer, but this is a big problem across the NBA. I don't know what any team looks like anymore because they all have 11 uniforms and they change them monthly.

I was living in Seattle at the time and feeling ultra lonely on the opposite side of the country away from family and friends. The Martian made me sob in the theater. I could relate to the story about trapped isolation and trying to get home and it hit me in the feelings an embarrassing amount.

Blew his mind further when I explained that his Browns "Travel Partner" is the Steelers, meaning they always play the out of division games the same way. Example: If the Steelers have to go to Seattle then the Browns do too. The Ravens and Bengals would get the Seahawks at home that year.

He thought it was a random draw. Every year on schedule release day he's surprised and asks questions like "why is our schedule so hard when we finished in last place last year?"

The Tron Carter I know will be delighted that he upset a local media member. You're playing into his hands by being like "actually this is a fine city, young man!"

Always been inherently distrustful of anything or anyone who resorts to doing a goofy dance in lieu of coming up with a bit that's actually funny.
