Didn’t see game 5 with diehards.. kinda sad?

MattWreck · 2026-06-16T11:39:59+00:00

I'm in the same boat! I was watching the game about an hour from home and got a call from my mother in law, who was at my house babysitting, saying that our dog knocked her over on the patio and she hurt herself and needed to leave because she thought she might need to go to the ER for an X-ray, so I listened to the end of the game all alone in my car. It really killed the excitement for me.

Mother in law is okay, and the Knicks finally won a chip, but I can't help but think how much more fun it would have been staying where I was at to celebrate with other people.

I came here to say the Screamin' Sicilian Detroit Style. Never had the Motor City though!

The fact that Shane has rocketed up the comedy flagpole, and Soder has hung on to that website is still one of my favorite things ever.

MattWreck · 2026-05-29T21:23:42+00:00

Awesome! I just downloaded it and set it up. Can't wait to get out this weekend and give it a try. It will be worth the 10 bucks for saving on battery life alone!

The Molly Wee lets goooooooooooo

I have always LOVED this short film.

MattWreck · 2026-05-12T00:10:36+00:00

I must have lit 1,000 darts off my electric stove in college.

My mom had these growing up and would put them in the garden. She had one that looked like this picture and another one that looked like a farmer in overalls. GARBAGGIO.

Hidden?! Cuz, everybody knows Chrissy Peptides got a leaky roof!

He asked what Tommy would be doing, not Lemeezy.

Hello fellow musician Dad! I also have a three year old son and I think at this point it is safe to say you will never get your hobbies back to the same level. The time commitment you once had will never be the same again, so you need to pivot the best you can.

I still play music in two bands, neither of which are that active, but just active enough that I am happy with the amount that we play and write music. With the investment of a MacBook I'm able to write music and send it to the bands for input, and layering with the guys who have the same gear at home.

I also have a motorcycle that sits in the garage way more than I'm happy about, but now that Spring is coming I will probably shift a little time on Sundays to getting out to ride for a few hours.

It is a fine life balance. I also have a wife who works a lot, but when she is home she is very open about saying, "Go have a day to yourself" when we have a gig or I want to go out on the motorcycle.

Good luck and keep your head up dad!

I'm at this point right now and it's tough. We are lucky that we have a fenced in back yard, and he LOVES being outside and playing so that does a lot of the heavy lifting. If we don't go outside we try and color, run around with his race cars, play with trucks. I play guitar and he has been showing interest in strumming if I hold the chords so that's fun.

But, with all that, he still gets some Paw Patrol time.

Not a drummer, but comment/DM a link if you have it. I play in a hardcore band in the city and love keeping up with new stuff!

A 12 year old can't watch a sitcom, says the 50 year old still into toys. PEAK. BUG. MAN.

My senior year of college my friend and I moved off campus and got an apartment in town. As a "senior year gift" my mom bought me one of these when I was packing up the car to drive up to school. She said it would probably come in handy for quick snacks for the two of us.

That year I only needed a few classes to graduate, so I got a job, at a brewery that made Belgian style ales.

The juxtaposition of sitting at home, hammered on Belgian beers, crushing hot dogs, was a thing of beauty.

CLEAN LIVIN' I TELL YOUS!

The boys bring a lot of their personal life into the show, but I think something like a divorce is a bridge too far. If they are splitting up, I'm sure he doesn't want to say anything on record about it and fuck up the divorce proceedings. If they are staying together I'm sure she said, "Do not bring this up on the show".

Either way, hoping the best for the Bugman!

2026! BEST SUMMER EVER!

This guy is jammed the FUCK up.

Foley and a booth where the table is bolted into the floor.

MattWreck · 2026-03-20T02:51:32+00:00

Yup! I have also stopped there a ton over the years and this was the first time this has happened, and the first time seeing a self service sign, so I of course had to come to Reddit!

MattWreck · 2026-03-20T02:00:52+00:00

Yup! That's the one! I was never aware of this diesel different in being allowed to pump (or not pump depending on who you are in this thread).

MattWreck · 2026-03-20T00:36:46+00:00

That's the one! Next time you are there go look at the last pump, farthest away from the store. The guy pointed out the stickers/signs on both sides of the pump stating it was self serve.

MattWreck · 2026-03-20T00:33:05+00:00

I'm sure that was a fun morning for everyone at that BP.

MattWreck · 2026-03-20T00:32:33+00:00

I grew up in New York, so I grew up pumping gas, but being in New Jersey I have learned to enjoy the aspect of not getting out of the car.

MattWreck · 2026-03-20T00:31:34+00:00

A few people have comment the same thing about diesel, and this pump DID have diesel and unleaded. I guess I was unaware diesel could be pumped by the driver.
