I did a Costco run in the last week of August and they already had Christmas trees/lights for sale. Every week they added something else (toys, decorations, etc). Now it’s fully decked out for Christmas
Goodbye, “Thriller”. Hello “All I Want For Christmas Is You”.
Also I need to get some of those chili pepper lights, been missing out for years on them so thank you for enlightening me. Feliz Navidad
So a low-key benefit of having the MIL live 15 min away from you, is that you can always get her to watch your kids when you and the lady want to have a night out.
My grandparents lived about 5 minutes away from me and my parents would do this all the time. It’s honestly a win-win for everyone involved: Kids love hanging with the grandparents, grandparents love spending time with the grandkids, and the parents get to have a night out
I had a very mild weekend, but reading all of these gave me PTSD-like flashbacks to my previous weekends over the last couple months and now I’m sitting here at work with Monday scaries.
My previous Sunday mornings consisted of me waking up at 6 am with cottonmouth, there was no water within arms reach because I drunkenly knocked over my nightstand Yeti when I stumbled home, I was only wearing boxer briefs, my clothes from the night before were scattered across my bathroom floor, the pockets of my shorts were filled with credit card receipts from bars (some from the same bar) that were minimum $30 each, my dog was in my bed judging me and she refused to cuddle because I was a drunk/hungover mess and she was teaching me a lesson, and my phone had numerous notifications consisting of texts, voicemails, snapchats, instagram DMs, facebook messages, etc.
But at least I always manage to plug my phone into the charger, so I have that going for me.
The Division that the Band of Brothers guys were a part of, the 101st Airborne Division, treats the TV show as required viewing and it’s huge at the Division’s base, Ft. Campbell, KY. That Company still exists to this day and has done a lot of badass stuff in Iraq and Afghanistan.
As part of a leader development trip, we got to hike up Currahee mountain, the mountain the guys have to run up in Episode 1. Pretty legit experience and showed how tough those guys were.
Tuscaloosa is truly a gem in the SEC and College Football world. My first and so far, only trip was the 2012 Texas A&M – Alabama game (amazing game to watch, but not a good outcome for the Tide). College Gameday was there in the morning and it was truly magical. I could not believe how extremely nice everyone was. All of the women were beyond beautiful and even more shocking, just as nice and friendly as everyone else.
I was truly sold when my buddy and I had seats next to a couple our age. Towards the end of the game when Alabama made a short comeback, the wife, who was a certified smoke, kissed me in front of her husband. We never talked to them up until that point. I fully expected him to kick my ass, but he replied with a drunk yet enthusiastic “roll tide brother”. Roll tide indeed. My buddy then switched seats with me in the hopes of receiving the same treatment, but then Johnny Football happened and the rest is history.
I was expecting no one to go out after the game due to the shocking upset loss, but that was not the case. The bars were slammed and everyone was drinking their hearts out to forget about the loss. Tuscaloosa is a must-visit for any college football fan of any age.
I’m greatly enjoying the food debates on the podcasts. I’ve heard enough to where I can break down your food choices/arguments like this:
All of you: Love Matt’s El Rancho and other Tex-Mex. Love alcohol.
Dave: A classic Texan. Loves steak and smoking dem meats. Generally hates most Northern food that Will likes.
Will: A classic northerner, loves carb-heavy breakfasts and foods (bagels) that don’t really provide much nutrition or protein, so no gainz in sight. Loves ciders. Generally hates things that Dave and Dillon like. The group usually considers his food takes as “trash” (hates warm pie due to the warm fruit but loves cobbler? Cobbler IS warm pie with warm fruit, my dude).
Dillon: The healthiest eater of the group (Dave is a close second). HATES sugar but compensates by drinking tons of red wine. Loves bananas. Loves avocados so much that he had to cut back.
Micah: Views all food as either “TRASH” or “Del-icious”. There is no middle ground. Micah is an “all-or-nothing” guy when it comes to grub. A true “tah-co”/Mexican connoisseur. Drinks weak cocktails on the reg.
My roommate and I found out our apartment complex will let us use our Traeger smoker on our balcony (we live in a very upscale area with tons of shopping around us). You better believe we’ll be smokin dem meats all weekend long. I can’t wait to see the shoppers (mainly middle-aged rich white housewives on their 2nd bottle of Pinot of the morning) to look up at us and be jealous
We had a cat at our base in Afghanistan who was badass. She killed tons of rats and snakes. She had kittens who also became rat/snake killers. It was crazy how well the cats protected us from the pests. From then on I became a cat fan and can see the benefits of bringing them to work (pest control). These were wild Afghan cats though, not sure how the American cats fare.
For those wondering about the cats, some of the kittens were KIA by a lynx when they got older, so RIP to them. The mom is still around having kittens and murking rats and snakes.
My bad I should have clarified. I don’t have an issue with them if they need a little help to get going or if they have legit parents that want to help. But that should slow down or stop after 25. I’ve known alot of girls who brag about how their parents still pay for everything. If you’re at your 10-year high school reunion paying for drinks with your parent’s AMEX, get it together.
Shouts to the ladies who work hard and may need a little help. No shouts to the gold diggers.
19. I don’t necessarily agree about the girls paying their own bills part. You should be dating girls who are paying their own bills with their own money rather than date girls who are paying their bills with someone else’s money. Once they’re out of college, they need to stop paying for things with daddy’s AMEX
Also the often-overlooked factor of how many things she adds to the shower. For guys, it’s usually just Head and Shoulders shampoo/conditioner and body wash. For girls, its minimum 50 bottles of random shit, 2 razors, a blow dryer on the sink counter, 50 more bottles of random shit on the sink counter. And before you know it, you can’t even find your stuff
I grew up near Athens and have been a lifelong Falcons and UGA fan. The last couple of years are probably as bad as it gets.
For those who don’t remember:
Falcons leading 28-3 at halftime in the Superbowl and then lost.
UGA leading 13-0 at halftime in the NCAA championship and then lost.
At least we got the Braves World Series win in ’95…
Thoughts and prayers to the fiance of the girl who’s having 4 bridal showers. Just imagine what’s ahead of him in the years to come….
Some assumptions I have that I can guarantee are facts
1) Guaranteed this is a huge and very expensive wedding
2) This girl has her friends organize HUGE birthday parties for her (for every birthday from now until 35), now this will fall on the fiance to plan
3) She wants a minimum of 2 kids. Also huge parties for each of those kid’s birthdays, holidays, homecoming dances, proms, etc.
4) She’ll force her husband to buy a huge house that they won’t be able to afford
Over/under on how long this poor man can put up with all of this?

How can any of us feel good today!?!?!?

Imagine how awkward the holidays are going to be from now on. Especially when those two have kids
Wait when did this “boil water warning” happen? I live in Austin too and I’ve been pounding water all weekend…

Good point, i forgot about how early on he would be eating one during every podcast and routinely get called out for it

Also, what’s up with you guys all having dog names that start with “R”? Randy, Rosie, Ralph, etc
We all know the Rand man wants to get in the ‘stu and be a guest on the poddy but mean ol’ Mr. Micah won’t let him
