Yeah it works. Before 2020 my team had never even been *in* a Super Bowl in my lifetime.

I mean, maybe the 93 AFC Championship game but I am over that

Haha, at tiff @joereid.bsky.social was like, “why would you put the Bills game on your phone for me,” and I was honestly like, “I have no ill will towards the Bills. Why would I?”

They should come back out in Jim Kelly era uniforms (or not because it’s good for me if they lose)

Yeah these Bills uniforms are terrible

Lions-Bengals and Blue Jays-Yankees almost have the same score

Saturday Night Live, Season 51 Episode 1: Bad Bunny

New SNL podcast! @mikeryan.bsky.social and I break down the S51 premiere, and talk way more about the 1990s NBC sitcom THE SINGLE GUY than either of us expected. open.spotify.com/episode/7L0B...

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

That’s the funniest name in SNL history.

I kinda think she wouldn’t be good. They have to be the MC, not the weirdo making fun of the MC

I said this on the podcast but I think it’s good Jost and Che are back. It’s probably not the best atmosphere for new Update hosts getting yelled at by the president by name

I don’t know!

Yes but they still got credited at one point or another as a featured player. This was a very strange season and it makes sense why Lorne peaced out

I’m not an expert on season 5, a season I find kinda nuts. But it’s complicated because the featured players would come and go

No. Not even *that* close, strangely

She should be getting the Wiig pass the line treatment

Ashley Padilla should have been promoted to repertory

Colin Jost as Pete Hegseth makes too much sense actually

Haha, yes! You’re right, if Hugo is your favorite Scorsese movie, and you are only seeing this for his thoughts on Hugo, you are not going to be happy. (But Boxcar Bertha fans will be ecstatic.)

This is a great film! (I did imagine Scorsese thinking, “my doc is longer than Spielberg’s and De Palma’s combined! Hot damn.”)

I did laugh thinking about the one person in the audience just sitting there, waiting for hours, “can’t wait to see what he has to say about Bringing Out the Dead!,” and it’s the only movie completely glossed over

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it one hundred times: Freddy Krueger should leave those kids alone. It’s not cool.

Obviously the ai actress thing is fake, but I’m actually kinda impressed with the marketing because there’s absolutely no reason I should know this thing’s name, but I do based on the outrage alone
