Yeah, I live about 40 miles outside of Chicago, and you can’t get a cab of any kind in 15 minutes - the major companies (Yellow, Checker, Sunshine Cab, etc.) don’t really go out here so you’re stuck with independent operations that have one or two cars (and only want to go to the train station, etc.!). I get the…

I imagine that he has a vague notion of it, but it’s also not a state like Florida or Texas, and that people who emigrate here are “Puerto Rican” and not “American”. Therefore Puerto Rico isn’t a priority compared to Florida or Texas.

I’m guessing it was a drop off as well - there’s no reason to go to O’Hare otherwise (I don’t know if you’re familiar with the area, but it’s all hotels, businesses, and chain restaurants. You don’t nip over there for lunch and back). Your main point still stands - this would’ve been avoided had they just booked a car…

Minor thing, but they were traveling from suburban Tinley Park to the airport and back, which is about a 40 mile drive one way. There are no cab stands in the suburbs - if you need a ride to the airport you either call a suburban cab company and book one in advance, or get an Uber/Lyft. Personally I’d book a cab but…

I generally didn’t mind them but Colin Jost goofing around with firefighters just pissed me off for some reason. Like people just turn up at firehouses and start telling jokes.

At first I genuinely thought Ryan Gosling was playing both bearded brothers in the HGTV sketch. I don’t know if that’s an indicator of his utter blandness or my lack of knowledge of his films.

I not only want to drive it, I want to drift it.

Both at the same time, actually.

Even though I like the idea, CP from me. Mostly because 1) no info on the engine and its mileage, 2) all the missing trim (don’t break it if you’re not going to replace it), and 3), those “VRS” badges. They’re obviously made up of letters from different badges, but the fonts don’t match. That doesn’t bother me as much…

Ditto - I haven’t watched the originals in years, but I don’t recall it being that overtly political. Everything just seemed shoehorned in, like the political jokes in Last Man Standing. Once an episode Tim Allen has to say “Hey, look! I’m a conservative! NOBUMMER! KEEP THE CHANGE!”. Here, it’s “Hey, look! We’re all…

I liked the idea of the driver being super talkative, even though it’s an obvious joke. But making the character a hacky stereotype was just lazy writing, and kind of emblematic of how bad the show was.

I would say “Fuck these snowflakes”, except that I once accidentally ended up face down in a snowbank, and that was unpleasant, and I imagine that fucking any of these dipshits would be even less pleasant. Is there another phrase we should use? I’m drawing a blank, but in my defense I did have a few beers tonight.

Sometimes. Sometimes I scrape the remnants off with a knife and add them to the recipe, when I’m feeling like I need EXACTLY one stick of butter.

Depending on the song, sure.

The Rickenbacker stock caught my interest as well, since the company was relatively small, I’d no idea they had offered shares for sale. It’s certainly got general US history interest, as well as automotive, because of the connection to EVR.

I’m pretty sure that’s not an actual eighties song.

A lot of that was mustache.

He had a guest spot on Wrecked this season and his one scene was with Rhys Darby, and it was wonderful to watch.

That reminds me of...I think it was a really basic version of the Ford Escort, that instead of a tach, had a giant fuel gauge in that spot.

“Rusty Toolbox” is my newest junk mail alias.
