I’ll take “Things That Suck” for $2,000

@MarkMontieth Really enjoyed this book. Knew of Vuk’s legend, but didn’t know Angelo’s story at all. Thanks for helping make it a reality after all these years.

Here's a link to the feature @BradBrownTV produced for @wrtv on my Bill Vukovich book project, from the home where the Speedway legend and his wife stayed when in Indy for the "500." I appreciate his diligence and professionalism. youtu.be/f_wD3O0iwH0

@TonyREast @TheNextHoops Is Aliyah broken?

Aliyah Boston misses from half court and the Fever fall to the Storm 85-83. They fall to 0-5. 2 close losses in a row — and they won't care about the progress without the results. 21-7-7 for Caitlin Clark. 17 for Kelsey Mitchell, 16 for NaLyssa Smtih. @TheNextHoops

@Israfil_Twitch Completely forgot about that. Sports from the Covid-era and immediately after are largely a blur to me.

@JonLawFilet *whispers* the clippers made the conference finals in 2021 but I understand your point

I write this back when this was our shared podcast account. It was the night the Clippers got Kawhi and PG, and the Pacers have made it to the conference finals before LA. Still don’t think I’ll have to pay up on this tweet tho.

@DeanOfMortgages @TonyREast @MillerTimePod I’m down.

I am begging @TonyREast to get the @MillerTimePod guys back together for a pod before the ECF if possible. @JonLawFilet
