heading to Aspen next week for a little skiing. but have two podcast about to drop, with Frankie Muniz and Adam Richman. Also, I made some new YouTube avi art. 2025 is my content slop engagement hack era. Also, I have no clue what platform to post on anymore! youtube.com/@mostlyoccas...

the brutalist director out here giving us longwinded dudes that lack brevity a lot of hope

My 2024 year in review, live music edition: www.brandonwenerd.com/every-concer...

The widespread normalization of going out in public in pajamas is weird and must be stopped.

my mom got a terrarium for Christmas. it rocks.

who’s coming over for muskrat in 2025?

Kennedy center tribute to the Grateful Dead rocked. I feel like we’re going to see some really cool cultural tributes to the dead with some of the talent on that stage in 2025 for however they’re celebrating Dead 60.

watching hozier on snl in a hotel room by liberty airport and thinking about becoming a guy who plays the tin whistle in socially awkward situations, as a bit.

flying in 2024: need five extra minutes before pushing off after everyone is boarded so people with dogs can swap seats because their dogs don’t get along. 🙄

contemplating sending it to PHX to see Penn State in the Fiesta Bowl.

did the much-buzzed about Matū cheesesteak in Beverly Hills for lunch today. The Pennsylvanian in me is impressed! The sesame roll rocks and the spicy long hot be hitting. Fly back east for the holidays tomorrow. Go birds. 🦅

this has been a big year of personal discovery for me. for example, I personally discovered Trader Joe’s Caesar salad dip and I’m sorta obsessed with it. It’s in in the TJ snacks all of fame.

lived in LA for seven years before finally having the world famous McCarthy Salad. iykyk.

My spidey senses can feel culture veering towards a big collective Mad Men rewatch this winter & I’m already preparing myself to be annoyed by all the surface-level takes and nuances that are going to be missed by a generation that glossed over it as appointment television when it originally aired.

itching to get the back on skis in January. Have a vacation planned to Aspen / Snowmass with my brother and old ski / music buddies from growing up first week of Feb. But also wanna get a few more trips in before that for my legs. Have an Ikon pass. Thinking Utah, Palisades, or Mammoth, mid-week.

Really enjoyed talking to Pete Wentz about his mission to make tennis a little more rock ‘ roll and inclusive. brobible.com/sports/artic...

[email protected] rocking it out in Philly yesterday with some choice cuts, including @karinarykman.bsky.social! Here's a little recap of our conversation about playing good tunes during Fox Sports NFL games on @brobible.bsky.social brobible.com/sports/artic...

Tennis talk with Pete Wentz at his second PW Tennis event in Encino.

it never ceases to amaze me how many cars are parked in the top golf el segundo parking lot at 1:30 in the afternoon.

My podcast with the great @jjolly74.bsky.social is now live! Had a blast yapping with Jake the other week about how he got into the Grateful Dead and Phish back in the day, and how those music worlds have spilled into Fox Sports broadcasts. Watch it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb1o...

This feels like the first full winter we’ll be getting extensive footage of Cybertrucks struggling in the snow and I’m excited for that.

the fact they don't sell long underwear tops and bottoms together as a set anymore is all you need to know about the enshittification of America.

Mahogany Smoked Meats Bishop, California

“deep jam band vibe”

First day out on my new made in America Romp skis. 🇺🇸⛷️🎿

saw a dude unironically wearing a pukka shell necklace today. we are so back.

this is a very niche music question, but is there a (cool as hell) name for the disco funk guitar style where someone rips a subtle syncopated one or two note lick? IE: starts at 2:52 in this disco groove by an LA band. you hear it in so much funk and disco. open.spotify.com/track/0RamqJ...

I knew I was going to have a really weird Spotify Wrapped this year but I just want to say my musical discovery of the year was The Beths and every time I was in my head about something the year, I’d listen to this song and it brought me a lotta joy. open.spotify.com/wrapped/shar...

Wrexham vs Barnsley at Cosm.

Watching Hot Frosty on Netflix. They really gave the jacked snowman nipples.

saquon!

set a new all time high score in November for my average daily step count. average of 15,000 steps a day. idk if this is good or not, just trying to avoid a sedentary life as much as I can. helps to live in a highly walkable part of Los Angeles.
