@DanaWessel And you could see it coming! I was bracing for impact

The part of the new episode of Winning Time where Jeannie pukes in the bucket of KFC is the single most traumatizing moment in TV history. All that great fried chicken going to waste.

Weirdest ad copy of the year

Next time you hear about radio ratings declines, keep these numbers in mind

Last night’s loss left the Timberwolves shattered (Early Blockworks, by Antony Gormley, 2001-2003)

@unclegrambo Like a scene out of Rural Juror

Listening to this MTG trial is profoundly depressing on every level. Technological incompetence in the courtroom. Poorly framed questions from prosecution. Consistent refrains of "I don't recall" whenever its convenient not to recall. No cell phone/SMS/email records presented.

We’ve had a lot of other good things going on the last couple of weeks, but I’m excited to get back to podding, and I hope you’ll check this one out

I can’t speak to the day to day working dynamic at The Current, but I can tell you that Jim McGuinn is one of the brightest, most genuine, and most accomplished people in my field. Very few have been as influential in the sound of alternative radio, both commercial and non-com.

LRT. Both of these are great points

Ain’t just fans, @realStanVG. @SHAQ’s every analysis wants more from big, so he goes after Jokic (37-15-5, 14 of 22). @ReggieMillerTNT watches four of HIMSELF darting around Draymond and wants Jokic/Boogie on court together. Game forces players to evolve, not broadcasters — Dan

As if we haven’t seen enough evidence they’ve been throwing good money after bad lately

I'm not saying that The Masked Singer is a sign that we're living in a dystopia, but it's definitely the kind of show that the characters would watch in a movie about living in a dystopia.

@sethjberman Should be there for ACL. We’ve been 3 of the last 4 years

By my count, this is the 110th day of 2022. The weather has sucked for 109 of those days. This is not ok.

I’m starting to think US Soccer is unaware that we have 50 states.

So much good tv premiering or returning right now, right as the NBA Playoffs are starting. Doesn’t seem fair that people expect me leave my apartment from time to time

@mulvihill79 Haha fair. Best I could come up with is 21% of the US is between 18-34. Puts that 6% of wealth figure into some perspective

@MaddenOnAir Yeah it would but I couldn’t find it quickly. 😉 If you have it please pass it on!

Gen X, Boomers and Greatest Generation collectively control 93.5% of US wealth. marketingcharts.com/demographics-a…

@mulvihill79 But half of that half can’t vote or have an opportunity to work full time so wouldn’t it make more sense to look at the median age of 18+ population in this case?

The median age of the country is 38 so you’re basically talking about half the country controlling 6% of the wealth and 6% of national elected government representation. “But why are millennials so unhappy??!?”

Harlan on Glue Girl sounds like a must listen

We’re back to mandatory N95s in the hospital and y’all out here literally singing about being able to cough on each other on planes. I’m so goddamn tired.

It might be dumb, but I want it
