So @penguinoftroy.bsky.social has confessed to me that she thinks In-N-Out fries are vastly superior to McDonalds fries. This is the most insane/batshit thing I've ever heard. (And I've heard my parents talk politics!)

🚨 NEW PODCAST! 🚨 USC is focused on keeping SoCal kids home in 2026 and beyond. We discuss that and more in this week's live episode. Join us LIVE on YouTube and sound off in the chat! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6ls...

I don’t think I could be a firefighter. The hoses in the back of the trucks are so nicely folded and stacked that I’d hate to mess it up fighting a fire.

Drew Doughty. Still good. Connor McDavid. Still the best.

No thanks.

The NFL really needs to stop letting these bad teams in the playoffs. Really waters down the competitiveness.

What the hell is this scorebug?

As someone who does literally everything *while playing video games*, PSN being down is a nightmare. My brain isn’t conditioned to watch TV, YouTube, docs, movies, sports, etc. without simultaneously grinding Division Rivals on the other screen.

Places my wife is comfortable putting a full, traditional ceramic coffee mug: -the carpet -the ottoman -inside a car -atop a board game box There’s more I just can’t think of off the dome. I really think I need to up my Prozac dosage.

Almost in awe at the magnitude of puppy fart pungency. Like I didn’t think this level of toxicity was possible.

Obligatory first Badger skeet.

Nothing proves to me I don't share a tax bracket with someone than pics from a ski trip.

Why are teams so horrendously bad at this? These all suck. I dig the idea of Wasatch, but like…for a sports team? Wtf are we doing here.

Enough already.

Traitors US is the 2024 Detroit Lions. Good cast of characters. Some legends of the game. Fun to watch. Stout. But not collectively generational because of a rough patch. Traitors UK? 2001 Miami. Perfect in every aspect of the game.

I work from home. I have no commute. I have no children. And yet I find cooking dinner to be absolutely debilitatingly exhausting. How the hell did my mom do it on the regular?

And the Raven, never not fumbling, still is losing, still is losing

I’ve clicked on Tiktok roughly 7 times in the last hour on sheer muscle memory. Not doing well!

Just watched a sweet elderly couple get into an electric blue Cybertruck. I am so miffed.

HUGE HIRE‼️ #USC hires NFL veteran Rob Ryan as Assistant Head Coach for Defense/Linebackers coach. ✌️ 👀 He has extensive experience working with defense. Nearly 20 years of experience from college & NFL. He won two super bowls (2002 & 2004) under Bill Belichick. I’m very happy about this hire.

Big sign.

Sometimes I fantasize about being an extravert. Just for the bits. Like walking up to random white guys in the wild and saying “bro, love the podcast.”

Firing up the ol’ Twitch. Got a big road game in the S-E-C! twitch.tv/mickcast22

The Palisades Fire stretching from the coast to the valley is inconceivable for my brain to even process. It’s like we gotta keep moving the goal posts on conjuring up the worst case scenarios.

Buddy…

Closing in 24 hours without power. As easy as it is to feel helpless, bathe in pity over a fridge full of recently purchased groceries and a swath of relatively minor inconvenience, the pictures of neighborhoods reduced to rubble is so humbling & terrifying. Cannot imagine that pain. World sucks.

This is hilarious because I think it would genuinely shock people how ITK Cowherd is when it comes to USC and recruiting.

These are the best Notre Dame jerseys I’ve ever seen.

I haven’t seen Oregon get the shit beaten out of them like this in like two decades. This is wild.

Here’s what alcohols taste like… Gin: Liquid aluminum Tequila: Paint thinner Vodka: Nail polish remover Whiskey: Gasoline Wine: Rotten vegetables Beer: Carbonated urine

It’s been 13 years and I’m still not over walking into Subway and asking for a Football Meatlong.

It’s a good night with @penguinoftroy.bsky.social.

Idk. I’m very interested in SRS Distribution right now. Do I have any clue what they do? No. But I am interested.

I will forever yell from the mountain tops that Coldplay’s first three albums were flawless.

These people throw tortillas. Their opinions are invalid.

Prepping for the Vegas Bowl and here's a nutty pair of stats: USC is 5th nationally in yards per carry against opponents with winning records, at a 5.84 clip. They've attempted 24.5 rushes against those six opponents, which ranks *131st* in rushes/gm vs. winning teams.

Whoever invented grocery store pickup orders deserves a lifetime of pleasure and happiness.

Happy Festivus to all who celebrate!

Had no idea the Hawk Tuah girl played footy.

Tennessee really screwed up by not wearing maize & blue alternates.

Jeremiyah Love is the king of “He’s not gonna get to the corner, is he? Oh nevermind he is!” runs.

Welcome to the College Football Defense-Off.

Guarantee it was ESPN execs and not the UI guy who wanted the play clock and game clock right next to each other, in the same typeface and color. Because woof.
