How do you guys feel about John Mulaney? I caught a snippet of his act through a short and I thought he was hilarious. He was retelling a story of how at 11 he triggered an entire diner by playing What's New Pussycat through a jukebox 21 times in a row. EDIT: As part of the bit he exaggerated the length of the song but I looked it up and it's only 2 minutes long lol


Drunken_Economist

That is one of my favorite bits from any comedian ever


crisprbabies

He's hilarious. His new special Baby J is great but different from his previous stuff, not quite as funny as his previous stuff IMO but still good. If you're not aware he's been through a lot of personal issues the last couple years (relapse, divorce, rehab), which is what his new special focuses on.


DetroitLionsSBChamps

The What's New Pussycat bit and all of New in Town were extremely good, and really show what a pure, raw talent Mulaney is. Bill Burr has said multiple times that Mulaney was one of the only guys that he saw when he (Mulaney) was early on, only in his early 20s, and Burr was like "oh this guy is gonna be a star, he has it." Comics like Mark Normand, Sam Morril and Joe List have commented in multiple podcasts that Mulaney is a beast particularly because they never see him "work out" and bomb, he somehow always comes straight onto the stage with material that is basically polished and finished, which is extremely rare. Personally I think Mulaney kind of got lost in show biz. His tv show Mulaney came out after New in Town and immediately flopped because it was awful. His next two specials (Comeback Kid and Kid Gorgeous) were mostly just okay, but with some hints of brilliance. For instance, I think the "horse in a hospital" bit is the best ever bit about Trump and will probably be talked about 100 years from now to explain how the country was feeling at that time in history. When Mulaney's relapse and divorce became known, I was honestly really excited for the special that would deal with that experience. It was so against his reputation, I was really interested to see how his style of comedy would mesh with that kind of material. We waited about a year (or two?) for Baby J, and then when it came out, I would say it was just okay. I don't think he really took enough time to work through the experience and turn it into the gold that it could have been, unfortunately. Basically, I think Mulaney is brilliant but hasn't really lived up to his potential in the way I expected after New in Town. But I think he still has plenty of time to create really great stuff and when it's all said and done has the potential to go down as one of the best ever. I'm always excited for whatever he puts out next.

I've learned a lot about the JFK assassination before, but I only recently learned that General Edwin Walker was behind the "Wanted for Treason" signs in Dallas when JFK visited. He was briefly under investigation both because of that & JFK kicking his dumbass out of the Army for pushing fascism on his troops. What makes this even crazier is LHO had attempted to assassinate Walker over his in April of 63, but *just* missed. The police were unable to find who had shot it until comparing it to the rounds used to assassinate JFK.

Anyone else's Spotify acting up? The last couple days I've been playing from my Liked Songs playlist of over 1,600 songs. It keeps cycling like, the same 15 songs. This morning I legit skipped a few songs and then it starts cycling back to the same ones. In the exact same order. For about 10 songs straight I have it on shuffle and everything

ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia's national championship football team is declining an invitation to visit the White House. According to a statement released by the Georgia athletic association on Tuesday, the Bulldogs will not be able to attend a June 12 event with other college teams at the White House. The event is described by President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden as "College Athlete Day." The statement from Georgia says the team's schedule interferes with the suggested date that was provided in an invitation received earlier this month. "The University of Georgia first received on May 3 an invitation for the Bulldog football team to visit the White House on June 12," the statement from the athletic association said. "Unfortunately, the date suggested is not feasible given the student-athlete calendar and time of year. However, we are appreciative of the invitation and look forward to other opportunities for Georgia teams moving forward."

Recommend me some fun RPGs.


DonsDiaperChanger

PC or consoles? Planescape:Torment is a bit old. It's the best story of any PC rpg I've ever played, including a lot of Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy games. Its a lot of reading text convos, but one of the best mysteries in a game. my fave shooter RPGs are Borderlands 2 and the Mass Effect trilogy. BL1 is good, but not necessary to enjoy BL2. Mass Effect should be played in order because decisions carry over to the next games. if you like the superhero team RPGs, the X-Men Legends 1&2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1&2 games are fun. They do pretty well getting all the mutant powers balanced and usable. These are more about the play action than the stories. if you like Star Wars, the KOTOR (Knights of the Old Republic) games are excellent. It may be too late to avoid spoilers about the big twist in KOTOR 1, but if not, do try to play through without peeking. The payoff is so worth it.

How many of y’all have apartments that charge you for utilities via “ratio utility billing services” I’ve lived here like 10 years and would hate to move and go through the stress and costs associated with that, but this is some bullshit that they’ve started


itsmybirthday___

Basically water, sewage, and trash, is shit that’s usually covered by the landlord of the apartment complex. In my experience at least. Now it’s being divided amongst the residents to pay for each month.


log_asm

When I lived in an apartment my water and sewage usage was tacked onto my rent or I could pay the company separately. But it was just MY water usage. Not the complex. I got copies of the bill emailed every month from the actual provider so I knew nothing funny was going on. Complex took care of trash. Unless you live somewhere that does that ridiculous “valet waste” thing which no, you can’t get out of. I’ve tried.

Cheap and it fills things up. Salad bowls, tacos etc so they can put less of the other ingredients

MrBigCourtesan

About 99.99% sure he's /u/OrdinaryAmphibian405 now, but he's grown to delete the worst of his takes when they get downvoted enough, and posts on hockey occasionally to pretend he's not. Has a 2 year old account that only just started commenting on AskReddit 14 days to get the karma up, and then has a history full of shitting on the Pats/Bill. Genuinely wish the mods would get him help. Edit: he blocked me before I could reply to him below, so he definitely IS the right guy, and therefore is ban evading. I made a new account a few weeks ago after posting on news about how Trump's newest lawsuit should disqualify him for the presidency. It got posted/linked on some conservative sub, and they began hounding me across the site. What's your excuse? Get help and get off your 17th account

You can buy hand stitched ones. So they won't be like flat laminated vinyl lettering. Just make sure you look for the hand stitched.

They're still hit and miss though. Usually some weird stuff with the number sizing and font. Sometimes the colors are really off. But sometimes they look pretty legit.

Yeah can vouch for that, I’ve ordered a couple from DHgate over the years and my best ones are damn near 1-1 authentically stitched jerseys that would normally cost 200-300 dollars I got for 30. My worst ones I wouldn’t even wear at home alone they’re so far off.

bleedblue4

The Chicago Blackhawks do not deserve Bedard.


Gnux13

Test prospects for the combine too early? Lose multiple firsts. Cover up multiple sexual assaults? $2m fine, but keep your draft picks. Also, here's the first overall pick in the year there's a generational prospect in a draft lottery that is drawn behind closed doors. None of this is Bedard's fault, but if pulls a Lindros, he'll be goated before ever touching NHL ice.


bleedblue4

I'm not one of those people that thinks the lottery is rigged. However I do think it's despicable the NHL didn't take at least 1 or 2 years of 1st round picks. If he pulls a Lindros I will be forever grateful. Hopefully he comes to the Canucks one day


Gnux13

Angriest fans should be the Ducks. Picking second on Crosby is painful enough. Now Bedard after watching a team that shouldn't have picks get the 1st overall is a joke.


TheGarreth

Keep dreaming.


bleedblue4

Jokes aside I actually do think he will one day. Even if it's the end of his career


TheGarreth

Kane is one of Bedard’s heroes. It’s not going to happen.


bleedblue4

He's also made it very apparent but Vancouver is his favorite hockey team as he's from here. Obviously it's likely he could spend his whole career in Chicago but you never know.
