thanks for the cultural update, Shart

I mean, with a kinja name like that, coupled with that avatar, I suppose I naturally assumed you were a cultured individual without the humblebrag.

Saw this on NHK last night before the GRAND SUMO highlights show. Wow!

If you look at that 2013 Celts/Nets trade in a dark bathroom while looking in a mirror Danny Ainge appears and marries your mom.

Based on Trump’s casinos, it will come in over-budget, be built shoddily, and collapse with ten years

I have no doubt he’s got ties to Russia, financial and otherwise. But the reason *I* think he doesn’t want anyone to see his taxes is because one look will tell everyone that he’s not even close to as rich as he’s been saying he is; I’d estimate he’s got a few million maybe, and he knows there’s not a way to spin that…

Ever since Donald Trump became the first candidate in 40 years not to release their tax returns, people have speculated that it is because of financial ties to Russia. But what if (now hear me out) it’s because he owns a large chain of hardware stores in northern Mexico and the whole wall plan is just a scheme to…

Well that’s where the eminent domain lawyers come in.

I hope his administration gets herpes.

I grew up on the border. I remember when the Bush administration put up the fence all those years ago. I would pass by it literally every day until I moved away. I see it every time I go home. I hate that fence. I hate it so much. The idea of a border wall is infuriating to me. It creates in me an anger like little…

My favorite call-in was my Dad’s. There was an NFLer that graduated from one of the big schools and it got out that he was illiterate (I don’t recall who it was, this must have been before James Brooks though, because I was definitely a kid.) Anyway, the whole show was about what a scandal it was and how it was…

I can’t find it yet, but there has to be an image out there of Patton Oswalt in Big Fan with his sheet of notes.

But you don’t want to choke on the air, man. That phone is now a microphone to millions of people. Are you a seasoned sports taker? No, my friend, you are a guy who mostly says dumb things to your friends. You’re entering a new arena, and until you’re ready to freestyle like a true taker, you’d be best served to stick…

When we were kids in the 80s and early 90s, my friends and I would call into the shows and start rumors. You’d have one guy call and say he had heard from a buddy that ‘so and so’ was on the trade block. Another guy would say he was down at a bar by Trib tower and heard two reporters talking about that player moving…

Mike & Mike have never taken callers, as I doubt they’d ever get someone who wasn’t making fun of them.

Holy shit, the meeting people and it’s not even close. Sports radio callers are just pissed off about their team and have no one to listen to them. People who go to town hall meetings have to leave their home and go sit in a room filled with other people who are also there to yell at some public official about the…

Tony Kornheiser wouldn’t take listener calls or interview athletes.

My profession requires that I attend town meetings. The kind of person who shows up for every single one of them voluntarily is far worse than radio callers.

I don’t know if it’s just the local show here but in between all of the useless “Gord from Bramptons” there’s every now and then a really delightful bout of lunacy when some octagenarian calls in and tells a long rambling story about some bizarre CFL nonsense from the 60's. That stuff is gold.

All sports radio callers are bad, but can I submit “Guy Who Literally Wrote Down Every Word Of His Terrible Rant And Is Obviously Reading It On Air” as the shittiest of all?
