Man, that Eminem/Dre reference was the best of the pop culture metaphors he shoehorned in? Time for a full rewrite, Michael.

If you’re interested, I’d recommend Vertigo for your next Stewart movie.

The limo’s parked around the corner, like at the end of Blazing Saddles.

Shallots and parsley in latkes is a crime. These are the people who eat latkes with ketchup.

Who are you talking about specifically? The fatalistic Vikings fans, the super-casual Twins fans, the nonexistent Timberwolves fans, or the kindly-grandparent Gophers fans? The reaction to the Vikes cutting AP loose was ambivalent as hell as I recall.

Thank you for mentioning Crack-Up. My favorite album of the year.

Reverse vampires!

My favorite part of this is imagining the 8-bit video game based on Simon & Garfunkel. S&G: Bridge Over Troubled Waters, only on Nintendo.

That poor old man looked like he was gonna collapse when he found out he lost the million. Another reason zucchini sucks.

If you’re taking write-in votes, I nominate US Bank Stadium, a bird abattoir paid for by cigarettes and gambling that is already falling apart.

Hilarious troll job by that caller. And a surprisingly funny riff by Francesca!
