For these lower tier games that no one really gives a shite about, it seems like Disney also doesn’t give a shite about shutting down those YouTube streams that show it.

I watched the La Tech game on regular YouTube. No issues. I assume it’ll be the same way for this weekend.

It’s a podcast. You press play. You listen. No reading required.

The text is just the transcript.

What is this?

A magic black box that gives you access to literally everything for the low low price of allowing China to place a spy device in your home that sends all of your personal information back to the motherland.

The show is a social experiment,

This talking point needs to be put out to pasture. This hasn’t been the case for a LONG time. The show is there for 2 reasons, to get ratings and to make people marketable enough to farm out to other CBS entities.

You bring in Survivor people because they already have name recognition and new people will watch the show to see them. They will NEVER allow those people to be voted out in the first half of the season. So you get secret powers, guaranteed HOH’s, built in alliances, etc. CBS won’t risk having them bounced early. Then they need to promote ‘new’ people and get them likable (or unlikable) enough so they can move on to The Challenge and Amazing Race and do the same thing for those shows that Dee and Devins did for this show. Rinse & Repeat. Like it or hate it, that’s how the setup is now.

If you go into the season with the thought of watching a true, fair game that’s a ‘social experiment’ above all else, you’re going to be disappointed 100% of the time.

I was just looking at Death Cab for Cutie tickets early next year at the Saenger. $200/ea

---

Looked at these this morning as well. It’s $160 for the first 3 rows (already sold out). $120 for the next ten or so rows. $100 and cheaper the further you go back.

I’m in no way saying the price to see a concert isn’t higher than it used to be, but why do people feel the need to over inflate what’s really happening? What’s the point of the exaggeration? This is a sincere question.

I’ve got two tickets for tomorrow’s show for me and my son. He’s pumped and looking forward to it. My wife finds out she needs to work late that night, so now I need to bring my daughter with us as well. No problem, she’s 7, but has a good sense of humor. She’ll enjoy it.

It’s not close to selling out. The entire row behind our seats are available. I go to buy the seat directly behind them (two kids up front, I’d sit behind them) when I get hit with a message from Ticketmaster saying that I’m required to buy tickets in multiples of 2. No single tickets can be sold.

What the hell is this?! I’ve never heard of this policy ever before. I assume it’s in an effort to drive up sales, but I have to assume it’s doing the exact opposite. No one can to solo to the show? What if a group of 3 or 5 want to go?

Someone help me make sense of this.

Fun fact: the director has confirmed that the Nobody and John Wick films exist in the same universe.

Does Normal exist in The Matrix’s universe as well?

Serious question…didn’t he JUST make those Nobody movies?! I haven’t seen any of these movies, but aren’t they just like the exact same concept. I’m confused about how Normal gets made directly after Nobody.

One of my favorites…seen them numerous times. Them with those 2 bands as support are right up my musical alley. Was bummed when they released the tour dates and weren’t coming anywhere near LA.

I watched The Movie the other night, not realizing there was an actual Show as well. Went into it completely blind.

Very surprised with how much I enjoyed it. Very different, very clever.

Highly recommend it, especially for the crowd who complains that they don’t make interesting movies anymore. These guys tried something different, and I think it paid off.
