re: The Studio on Apple

Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/28/25 at 3:25 pm

I’m enjoying the show. It’s sort of like a slap-stick version of Entourage but from the studio executive side instead of actor side.

I will say all these people really suck at their jobs, Rogan especially, so I’m not sure it’s much of a Hollywood circle jerk, it’s making executives look inept.

Spoilers

Loved this last episode with his back and forth with the doctors about art vs science, LOVED when he outbid them for the golf trip, hilarious.

Performance enhancers for regular people

Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/28/25 at 9:13 am

Clearly athletes are on all kinds of performance enhancing drugs, anyone who doesn’t think so is an idiot. Some are legit, some are against the rules. I don’t really care, but these guys aren’t playing at a high level into their 40’s because of their workout routine and diet, they’re taking drugs.

What are they taking and should all of us mortals be taking them as well?

This thread steered way off course but one thing I do agree on is that I did not like Posey’s accent.

She did the over exaggerated accent southern women do at times in public and acting exasperated but she did it all the time. My wife disagrees and I seem to be in the minority with my opinion, but I thought her accent sucked and it took me out of her scenes a little bit.

Still a good season though

This was a dumb thread by me. I was just asking for a bunch of old guys to reminisce about their childhood.

My bad, just FYI everyone thinks life was better when they were a kid. That wasn’t the point of this thread, none of you old fricks grew up without electricity, cars, or phones.

Was born in the late 50s and certainly had the basic necessities and believe grocery shopping to be vastly underrated. Beyond that, life was grand and primarily spent outside and the limited mobility/relocation made for a grouping of close friends. We either walked or rode bikes with little or no concerns. Seems everyone knew everyone and despite that network we did our fair share of mischievousness.

You are just describing being a kid. My kids do this in 2025

I’m a little jealous of people who lived without technology

Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/27/25 at 4:03 pm

Obviously I like the comfort of AC, electricity, television, internet etc…. But I feel like life would have been so much simpler and better in a lot of ways before it. You just basically spend all your time outside with people, reading and writing, doing whatever. No way to be connected, no one can call you and bother you. And since none of this technology existed you wouldn’t be missing it.

Simpler times…

Are amphibians just animals who are evolving?

Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/25/25 at 2:49 pm

When you see evolutionary videos usually they have some form of in between water/land stage before they fully adapt to either. Is that basically what amphibians are? Are they just land animals in the middle of evolving into aquatic animals / aquatic animals evolving to land animals?

Here is a video of the evolution of a chicken for context

All the game results are on the Internet now… if you have elite stats at a 3A school they know if you’re playing a chump schedule or not unlike the old days

Not to mention they’ll check and see if you got your stats in blowouts.

You are wrong. The reality is they won’t even look at your highschool stats at all unless we are talking football. They will recruit you via select teams

Better for what? Recruitment?

If your kid is playing select then 3A, his recruitment will come from select and the elite high school stats will bolster that.

I made a thread asking for a specific useless skill you have not a compilation of washed up guys letting me know they are reasonably athletic :lol:

Thanks to the guy who posted about spinning a basketball on your finger, that’s what I’m looking for

What useless random skills do you have from playing youth sports?

Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/24/25 at 2:04 pm

I was a pitcher and I can still balance on my right leg with my left leg in the air for an unlimited amount of time because of all the balance drills I was forced to do as a kid.

Jon Rahm seemed legitimately annoyed at how slow Grant and Phil play

This show isn’t just a dumb slapstick comedy though, it’s got a little more depth. I agree the slapstick stuff isn’t as good as it is in his other shows (maybe I’m just getting older).

This show is like bizzaro world Succession :lol:

re: Worst movie of all time?

Posted by Tiger1242 on 4/23/25 at 7:47 am

Nah this is a bad choice. This movie is terrible on purpose, movies that are terrible on purpose don’t fit in this category.

To truly be the worst movie of all time the people working on it need to have been trying to make a good movie and failed
