I miss gyros. I should go back to a street vendor one of these days.

I always thought it was a little ‘out there’ that you devised the all-terrain portfolio but had a an all-in-bitcoin portfolio. :D But you’re young, and experience is the best teacher. Glad you can put that behind you!

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

There are a lot of basketball fans who still worship Kobe Bryant. After what he did I had no use for him. Great basketball player but terrible person. His actions regarding that woman is the first thing that comes to mind when I hear his name. The other thing I forgot to mention is that only one th...

All comics evolve into Carlin with political clapter rants. Holy moly, I thought I was the only one that seemed to notice this. I used to love the Iliza Shlesinger stuff from like the 2013 era. Now everything she does is either politics or feminism. Same thing with Chappelle: why is he so obsessed ...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

What did he do? He kind of offended me with two topics and I cringed when I heard them. Cringe is the right word. I suppose I wasn’t offended. Do I find his other material less funny because of the the not-funny, cringey material? I suppose not. I'm curious about what offended you, if you don't min...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

I know that Kobe was on trial for rape and he definitely cheated, but I didn’t think it was a guilty verdict. Was it? I’ll have to look that up. On Saturday Night Live they had a guy playing him, saying, “I hate this!” Maya Rudolph, playing his wife, said, “You know what I hate? Going to my husband’...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Well, that’s a fair question. Just thinking out loud here: I grew up with Bill Cosby, but I didn’t find most of his content funny in the first place. (I know he was immensely popular). Maybe just ‘Fat Albert.’ Didn’t like his stand-up or other shows, although I guess I Spy wasn’t supposed to be that...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

I'm for humor but it has to be genuinely funny. Totally agree, Vinny. I was between my friends and a stranger, and the stranger was laughing so much at the beginning that I had to wonder if it was forced. He was then “dry” for a while. But, I had wet eyes from laughing quietly. It was a real and su...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

It’s getting harder for me to tell what videos are A.I.-generated. I mean there is plenty of so-called AI slop that I can detect. But there are others that fool me and then I go back for a second look…and I’m still not sure.

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

You’re right. I think this was my first stand-up experience in person, with a big name. I’ve been to smaller comedy clubs in the past. My dream show would be Ricky Gervais, but he and CK aren’t that different. Have seen most of Dave Chappelle’s Netflix specials. Amazing. Not to mention his older sho...

Re: Daily "Check In" Thread For Us

Don’t be shy, Vinny. Vinny privately told me that he gave the kid 2 candy corns, a tootsie roll, and one of those mini kitkat bars, which constitutes 0.083% of the candy he’d prepared for the neighborhood. Had he known that this was going to be the sole bell-ringer, Vinny would have upped that to te...

The 200% volume thing in particular is weird.
