Good college football preview, save for I disagree with Joel that Portnoy is all that different from Rush Limbaugh.

Perhaps a good production note to take from this episode is that you stop down the recording or you figure out a workaround if there is a screeching child in the background rendering the episode unlistenable.

@jamellebouie.net Hopping on Bluesky for non-promotional reasons for the first time in a while to say 'China Beach' is kinda like 'M*A*S*H' by actually set during the Vietnam War. It was a big Emmys show and worth checking out.

Sex! Now that I have your attention thanks to my stolen 'Simpsons' joke, here's my thoughts on, um, "Sex and Candy"

Maybe Nixon never went to a Super Bowl, but he did decide the college football champion.

Since time was taken to point out Troy's "voice thing" during the football game...nobody thought to suggest Joel not sniffle right into the microphone for an hour?

If Bluesky is going to deliver the Twitter Heyday feel, it needs more empty nonsense, so I’m going to post a stock photo of somebody eating a hamburger every day.
