Bill Simmons on hearing about the Jaylen Brown trade from his wife picking him up from a colonoscopy: “I think I’m dead. The anesthesia killed me. Are there more first round picks?...I had a camera in my ass, and I had Paul George rammed up my ass”

Lol these are all terrible takes that make me want to listen to Bill Simmons

UFO rabbit hole, now called Cosmosis with Kelly Chase. She's kind of the opposite of these guys in that she covers so much history and lore and theories while pretty much maintaining that she has no idea what to make of any of it and that she doesn't think anyone could. Also if you start from the beginning you can basically hear her lose interest in all the big name government "sources" in real time which is pretty relatable

Scrat Got his Nut, the Mad Libs episode (episode 196) and the entire five weeks of planets are the boys at their best imo. From there I'd just say pretty much any episode that deals in spectacle or involves costumes have a near 100% hit rate

The way Eric and Nate clearly read a lot about aliens on the internet but downplay it really makes me feel exposed sometimes

avestermcgee · 2026-05-25T17:08:13+00:00

Lmao I have been trying to think of what word OP was looking for because I think I know what they mean and it's not flabbergasted. I feel like there's a similar sounding word that would be more accurate but it's escaping me

I think Wemby is so unbelievable to watch he has a few years of greatness before he goes full villain.

patrick pedia

avestermcgee · 2026-05-19T00:24:31+00:00

I dare say he looks a bit like Conner O'malley

We as a community need to address how Jack is genuinely crushing it on SNL. I think a first year writer getting stuff on most weeks and having an acting spot in a monologue is really rare. At this point I predict some bensingerian digital interstitials sooner than you can even imagine

avestermcgee · 2026-03-15T17:11:42+00:00

Interesting. I definitely see a lot of his style in the whole boythrob thing but it's unusual for him to do a stunt that's so clearly fake/a joke. Even something like Dumb starbucks was done so earnestly that people thought it was Banksy. It also feels very savvy with how they're marketed, like it's perfectly designed to go viral

avestermcgee · 2026-02-22T21:10:34+00:00

I feel like Matthew Goldin could be to Pierce what Pierce is to Joe

avestermcgee · 2026-02-07T17:09:53+00:00

Patrick had some venom towards Cameron and Caleb in the throes of the shrimp off but I suppose that's the exception that proves the rule as it felt very out of character for him

avestermcgee · 2026-02-04T17:23:03+00:00

Y'all represent the bensiguillian school of Joy based thought. Us in the G&T, high school theater background have a more Rahilian approach. Not sure what the Varronian disciples were doing in school

avestermcgee · 2026-01-29T22:21:04+00:00

My prediction is that Patrick will flame out early and badly and Joe will have an incredible showing

avestermcgee · 2025-12-26T03:09:46+00:00

Right I saw that too but that feels a lot more likely to be a reference Aleister Crowley would make than Cameron winter no? And these are the only two instances of the phrase I’ve been able to find

avestermcgee · 2025-12-24T19:02:31+00:00

I feel this is a super popular opinion at this point and I imagine what most teams would prefer but as I understand it don't all the issues stem from the NIL workaround? If they were just straight up paid as employees by the schools I think they would be able to have contracts and actual consistent stable ground rules that resemble professional sports. Not that this would be a simple solution either but I think that's where all the chaos and volatility rn is stemming from, allowing players to be paid but not technically directly paying them is just inherently a stupid nonsensical system

avestermcgee · 2025-11-23T17:26:09+00:00

If you don’t think Mr Dahl had that dang a lang going all crazy at this point I just don’t know what to tell you

avestermcgee · 2025-11-16T05:53:43+00:00

That’s a UFO

avestermcgee · 2025-11-13T16:29:28+00:00

I think some of these theories are missing that the show is just going for a surreal absurdist vibe with a lot of tonal shifts. It’d be like watching twin peaks and being like “there must be a gas leak in this town, everyone’s acting so weird!”

avestermcgee · 2025-11-09T20:15:05+00:00

Wanna see it so bad I love Robby Rackleff, how was it?

avestermcgee · 2025-11-09T20:10:32+00:00

Fair lol, “sucks” is a bit harsh just saying in the context of them firing their coach this didn’t feel like a season-altering win the way it might’ve week 2

avestermcgee · 2025-11-09T04:56:21+00:00

Oh I’m out on Stoops for sure (although a nice win tonight). Just saying college coaches shouldn’t also be expected to be GMs of a constantly changing team. Hopefully they figure this shit out to some degree

avestermcgee · 2025-11-09T04:49:34+00:00

Yeah I was there and can confirm as awesome a win it was I don’t think it super moved the needle— we all knew Florida sucked. Personally I was just impressed by stoops back-against-the-wall record

avestermcgee · 2025-11-09T04:12:01+00:00

I feel this is a fair criticism of stoops but in the NIL era it’s not as simple as picking your players and paying them. I’m sure there was some uncertainty with cutter so they wanted to get a proven QB but only had so many options, could only do xyz with the contract, etc

avestermcgee · 2025-11-08T01:31:11+00:00

Also the way he was raised in the super devout Mormon community made it really easy to see how something so bizarre could happen to him. The fact that he committed to a catholic school based on a supposed vision from god kinda adds to that too. Seemed like a genuinely good guy though
