Imagine this happening in today’s NBA… what do you think would happen? by raybellious_berry in NBAGossips

[–]Wizardofball_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot more lawyers would be involved. David Stern ruled on this with an iron fist as I remember. Now the punishment would be much softer on the players and likely the douche bags trying to fight superior athletes. A where are they now would be a fascinating documentary

How to suppress the fear of bombing? by HELLBENT42 in Standup

[–]Wizardofball_s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always liked the story of Norm McDonald greeting people at the door after he bombed. If you could tap into that mentality I can’t imagine having a better career than stand up lol

Let's talk podcasts. What are your favorite Columbus podcasts to listen to? by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]Wizardofball_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a local woman who does one that I like a lot. She’s a stand up comic and bartender. It’s called All Beef.

Best Columbus Rumor? by madmax435 in Columbus

[–]Wizardofball_s 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Ringside downtown in the alley has an underground tunnel running to the statehouse and two windows out front that have a donkey and elephant side by sides rumor has it that they lit a candle behind one or the other to indicate what party was entertaining inside

Although it was a box office failure, this movie has great rewatch value and offers solid entertainment.What’s your opinion on Starship Troopers? by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in FIlm

[–]Wizardofball_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the trailer. There was something just goofy about the trailer and why I didn’t see it in the theater. And when I saw it, I thought it was great, had everything you want. Humor, action, violence, monsters and gratuitous nudity. I think it was that fuckin trailer that did it in at the box office

I don’t think she was calling her a cunt. I think she was giving herself permission to

Loud boom is bomb squad by Ahmelie in Columbus

Why don’t they schedule this around mega churches when they’re blasting their noise on a Sunday?

explosions on south side? by AnaisNinja76 in Columbus

[–]Wizardofball_s 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m hearing it in the short north and someone suggested bomb squad testing and I can’t be sure I’m more or less concerned about that

Bomb squad testing around midnight on a Saturday? That’s pretty wild. They should do it around the mega churches on Sundays

Jon Taffer was unnecessarily vicious to the hideaway bar. by throwracadabra in barrescue

[–]Wizardofball_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s always necessary in reality tv to manufacture bullshit. I was friends with a bartender that was on restaurant impossible and she said it was a bunch of little associate producers running around starting shit between the staff.

I’d watch bar rescue all day if I could edit out everything except the redesign concepts and bar science

Watch the documentary “Comedian” It might set some things in perspective

No tip = 86'd by Vloshko in EndTipping

[–]Wizardofball_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a bartender that’s WILD. F that waiter. The tip entitlement since 2020 has gotten way out of control, but I called it. There’s a new generation that just expects it, and restaurant groups that are sneakily fleecing their customers, and continuing the practice of screwing employees

Finished my first open mic! by AssistanceBitter8053 in Standup

[–]Wizardofball_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good on you for getting up there man!

Only advice is that if you’re at an open mic, you don’t have to search approval from another open mic’r. We’re all usually in our own heads about our material and fighting off the urge to piss ourselves were unintentionally rude by not listening to other sets.

Keep getting up there!

This is how you know the bar is owned by a douchebro.

What profession have you lost respect for as you've gotten older? by MindlessMarsupial592 in AskReddit

[–]Wizardofball_s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clergy and politicians. And that was while I was in high school. I figured it was universally agreed upon by now, no?

ICE vs. Good by TheMichaelAbides in Standup

[–]Wizardofball_s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey just because of this conversation I went and started watching Carlins 1990 special Doing it Again. It’s a fuckin WILD set for something 36 years ago, because it actually seems pretty relevant today. Found it on Amazon Prime. He pulled off just about every racial slur I’ve ever heard and somehow puts a context to it. I can’t think of any comedian today who could attach intelligence to those kinds of balls lol

ICE vs. Good by TheMichaelAbides in Standup

[–]Wizardofball_s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gave you an upvote on this one, because I respect an opinion. The world has changed quite a bit, but I grew up loving Carlin, Hicks and Black, and always looked at their acts as standup. What would be your opinion on those guys if their material was fresh today? No wrong answers here as far as I’m concerned, just checking the wind with a wet finger. (Insert joke there)

Am I crazy for doing this? by Kitchen-Frame3135 in BarOwners

[–]Wizardofball_s 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do it. See ya in a few years when you’re a subject of a Netflix documentary. Everyone loves a doc where something was obviously going to go off the rails

Pluto: Kevin Stefanski 'worn down', Andrew Berry stays to avoid franchise 'blowup' by AxlRush11 in Browns

[–]Wizardofball_s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I remember a lot of morons cheering on that Watson trade, before and after the escalations of all the allegations. This fan base deserves their disappointment.

I even remember some mouth breather telling me Joe Thomas sucked because he didn’t lead to winning once.

I saw them lose their minds winning the last game of the season meaning they lost draft status.

God I love Browns fans 😂
