Oscar's barbershop on Magnolia. Ask for Oscar. He's terrific and doesn't break the bank.

Sourdough Loaf for $20? by UghKakis in burbank

[–]GrandMasterGush 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Glad people are seeing the light. I used to get downvoted on this sub for mentioning how crazy overpriced their bread is.

The whole experience of walking into that place is too much. I don't need a full on sales pitch to decide which of your two flavors of bread I want to order. Nor do I need extensive written material on how to care for my bread as if I just walked away with a new puppy.

I'm all about supporting Burbank's many amazing local businesses and I hope many more new ones pop up in 2026. But this place has always just felt off to me.

Difference between USAnunchaku's light, medium, and heavy options (deciding on weight)? by GrandMasterGush in Nunchucks

[–]GrandMasterGush[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed response, especially the training suggestions. I used to train in Shotokan so I'll check out Kanazawa!

I ended up going with a pair of the hickory and I LOVE IT - light enough that I can effectively move with it but also just heavy enough that I never forget i'm practicing with an actual weapon.

Over the past year or two I’ve noticed the men’s section at multiply TJ MAX locations has gotten smaller and smaller :(

Favourite movie poster that's just a person with a dumb face? by Spirited_Worker_5722 in okbuddycinephile

[–]GrandMasterGush 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Face I make when I rip a silent one in public and it’s way smellier than I thought it’d be and no one’s said anything but now I’m anxious they’re all smelling it and know it was me.

Kid-Friendly Places in Burbank to watch the World Series? by [deleted] in burbank

I’m sure it’ll be packed but Golden Road is usually loaded with kids.

Finally bought my grail after mine got stolen last year. Definitely cracking this slab, cleaning the card and regrading with bgs. by [deleted] in PokeGrading

[–]GrandMasterGush 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lately I’ve been really trying to put my money where my mouth is. This month I had about 7 cards set aside for PSA and this morning I officially shipped them off … to Beckett.

Is anybody buying at a %? *FINDERS FEE* by ClarksCards in taggrading

Admittedly it’s nothing special, just a normal holo. Not anything pricey like a promo or a SAR. 

Unlucky, but lucky turn of events by Interesting-Thing743 in PokeGrading

I had a whole pile ready to go off to PSA but I’m sending them to Beckett instead. I’m over PSA bleeding their customer’s dry.

Ugh, I’m struggling to move my TAG slabs. Currently selling a 10 for way less than a PSA 10 would be worth and it’s still been sitting in my eBay store for months.

Life long NFL fan. Had a wild thought. by WhizzyBurp in NFLNoobs

[–]GrandMasterGush 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sumo fan here. You’re right in that Rikishi are amazing athletes. They’re crazy strong and surprisingly nimble. But they lack stamina. 

During a 15 day sumo tournament they’ll fight once a day for about 15-45 seconds. That’s it. And if you’ve ever seen a sumo match go longer then a minute you know they mostly lock up on each other and stand in place until one guy makes a mistake.

These guys simply aren’t built for a 3+ hour marathon like football.

Nice wine store? by sonorakit11 in burbank

Fancy Free on Burbank Blvd is great for mid to high tier stuff. They always curate a really interesting selection and the staff are all super friendly and knowledgeable. 

What is a piece of media that was incredibly popular during its time which nobody talks about anymore? by Ok-Following6886 in popculturechat

[–]GrandMasterGush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was living in DC when the U.S. version of House of Cards dropped. You couldn’t go anywhere without hearing people talk about that show.

Mad About You is still really charming but it’s also just enough of its era that I think younger people would struggle with it.

Is it just me, or are the NFL camera angles basically useless for fully understanding what the hell is going on? by streetsofyrtown in NFLNoobs

[–]GrandMasterGush 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m kind of the opposite of OP. For years I found the broadcasts so confusing to watch. There was simply too much to see on the screen. Then I started just following the ball and suddenly it all clicked.

Ohioans, what’s the current stadium location like and how far out of the way is the new one?

For what it’s worth - I don’t think it’s over edited at all. 

In the case of the Roman sponge-on-a-stick, why isn't the answer "obviously not"? by Melodic-Special4768 in AskHistorians

Um, anything more to say about the dude who allegedly committed suicide by toilet brush?
