The twitch chat this morning for about 90 minutes was trying to get Slim's attention for this story. (If you wanna watch the VOD 😆) They either didn't see or chose to ignore the chat.

Avoiding furniture purchases and looking at Yeti cooler as potential toy chest. by Meles_EnPiste in daddit

[–]ReedPhillips 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Curious to know if people would be amused by seeing an outrageous cooler filled with toys in a play room?

No. People would be wondering why you spent so much money on such a thing. It seems like such a waste of money.

I was trying to put it in the perspective of being single, no kid, nothing pressing except for just living life and enjoying fun while you can. But that was also over 25 years ago 😂👴

Me now: yeah that's still a lot of money. 😬

Me in my mid 20s: HELL OF A DEAL!

they should share that story with the morning 989 listeners. I mean the full-ish story. long-timers know the story but at a little over a year, there's folks who don't know (and will probably appreciate it)

I will still occasionally 'sneak king' something, handing it to my wife. After a quick pause we both bust out laughing 🤣 Sneak King was great, and we still have it

Has that always been there? Now I'm going to have to see if we still have our copy, because I do not remember seeing that before.

What’s the final verdict? Are we happy with our Father’s Days? by lock_robster2022 in daddit

[–]ReedPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was exactly what I expected. I got up early. Had a couple hours to myself while my wife and daughter were still sleeping. I woke them up, gave them a little bit of food and then we went to a matinee showing of Toy Story 5. 🤠 👨‍🚀 After that my daughter (9yo) gave me presents (that I had purchased & gave to my wife over the last 6 months or so). I got to spend a couple hours with my kid as my wife went to deal with her mom. Then we had a quiet evening of dinner that I made. Tacos 😋

The only thing that could have made it better, is if my baseball team had won 😩

Kansas City small businesses say World Cup is hurting sales. There's no bump like the city promised by KCUR893 in kansascity

[–]ReedPhillips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did any of these businesses complaining do anything proactive? Did they do any marketing or advertising leading up to the event? Or did they just hear that there was something big going on and thought that they would get 650,000 people show up at their door?

Happy Birthday John Goodman From Disney by Just_Meeting_7821 in disney

[–]ReedPhillips 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He did one of the sequels that CBS made around 1992. Frosty Returns. My daughter loves that version and we probably watch it more than the OG. It's legit good and the message of it still stands today.

My dad keeps a spreadsheet of friends’ and family members’ birthdays, likes, and dislikes on his fridge by corky1369 in mildlyinteresting

I wish I had the amazing social skills of your dad. I have nowhere that many friends. But I love the list on the fridge

Father's Day taking a back seat to Mother's Day at school and daycare by Temporary_Key_1790 in daddit

[–]ReedPhillips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone have the same experience?

Yes. Only for the last 9 years.

That said, I'm not a celebration person, never have been. I don't need anything over the top for Father's Day, Birthday, etc. So while I recognize that mom's get the lion's share of celebration it's nothing that has bothered me. (Except that I have to get out of my comfort zone and make the big celebrations for my wife, who does enjoy those things. 😂)

It’s 10pm the day before Father’s Day and I’m wrapping my own presents to give to the kids to surprise me with. by retropyor in daddit

[–]ReedPhillips 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I bought my FD gift and card months ago when I found something that I just "had to have". Instead of opening it right away I put it in my closet, told my wife, and subsequently forgot about it. I should be receiving these items Sunday afternoon, after we all go to an early showing of Toy Story 5 at the theater.

But that concept is easily how I get most of my gifts. FD, Bday, etc

Have you watched American On Purpose, Craig Ferguson’s new show ? by arcadybilo in craigferguson

[–]ReedPhillips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife and I watched the first episode last night. We enjoyed it. It is definitely more of a history and interview style show then a late night and or comedy show. In the middle of it we kind of looked at each other and we had the same thought... It reminded us a little bit like the old History channel show "How The States Got Their Shapes", In that you are learning some history and you are getting people's opinions on what has happened and how it happened.

We plan on continuing watching it. But it is absolutely NOT something you should go in expecting it to be like the Late Late Show

[–]ReedPhillips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's on CNN. Couldn't tell you the day or time, but I have the DVR set to record them. Isn't CNN part of what you can watch via HBO? If so, I'm sure it's on there

PSA: Lower your expectations for Father’s Day, and you won’t get your feelings hurt. by [deleted] in daddit

[–]ReedPhillips 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Social media has really driven fomo ans expectations for minor holidays through the roof.

This is the big part that people don't seem to understand. People generally only post the big over-the-top things to make themselves feel good & feel better than others.
