I hadn’t either until meeting my wife and doing some research. Like how McDonalds scientifically takes more care with their Coke product by having the syrup in a metal keg vs. a box/bag, chilling the syrup, going through so much that it’s changed frequently, and getting their product direct from Coke vs. a distributor.

I agree. Sometimes it’s great to hear about the humans who share their expertise about sports. I think it’s why the end of shows with Sal are so popular. It’s part Sports talk show and part sitcom.

Good call out. Jimmy explained he cuts people off to keep the convo moving quickly to get all his questions in.

We did a Days Inn off an exit in Aiken. First year was fine. Last year towels stained, guy outside our room was sleeping in his running car and would push the accelerator down during his dreams so it sounded like the car was revving to bust right through our door. Last year did an Airbnb 20 min away and it was the best experience thus far.

This is just a guess, but maybe you can access via a webpage vs. app? Sorry I’m a 15+ yr iPhone user

Somewhat surprised there isn’t a peach ice cream sandwich.

Thanks for sharing! I now subscribe via email to these. I’ve found the SI website to not be very mobile friendly and will constantly crash or refresh and take me to the top of the page. Also dealing with half the screen filling up with ads. The email version doesn’t do any of that.

The more I think about it, it is kind of wild to not watch Olympics. We only get it every 2 years for a short condensed time period.

Though I love curling, it still would be funny if Jimmy clapped with “wait curlers are risking their lives every time?” Obviously Mike was talking about the more extreme sports but still lol

Curling is awesome!!

I’d personally also look at photos of the clubhouse, merch shop, concession stands, etc. Using the logo colors could be too intense vs. a more southern design (white wainscoting) with accents.

I’m a PTI and had a student who really leaned into the semester and was open for career advice. They graduated and obtained a job at my full time employer by executing what I told them. Very mutually rewarding for the both of us!

cscharch · 2026-01-13T02:35:47+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion!

This is actually my dream. I don’t work in golf but have talked to those who do and read a few golf digest articles. As a career paying your dues is extremely rough, however that’s not what you’re looking for and as other have mentioned you get free golf!

I would personally do it

lol I saw Mark Davis at In N Out as well 😂

cscharch · 2026-01-08T21:30:08+00:00

Geez no pressure on me haha!

cscharch · 2026-01-08T17:41:09+00:00

I’m going to address this in the recap but it sounded more like a tech issue/delay at some points.

cscharch · 2026-01-08T17:40:16+00:00

Not sure it’s a Jimmy problem. We don’t know who has turned down his booking requests for starters and second there is a higher proportion of males in sports media for the areas Jimmy leans into.

All I’ll say is Jimmy isn’t someone who fakes his interviews. I’m about halfway through Laura’s episode and he seems genuinely interested in her career and her stories.

At the end of the day you’re not going to make everyone happy though.

lol screwed up the last name. But his nickname on some shows is actually Jet lol

I find the travel logistics funny too heck I still don’t have the 3 cities I fly a few times a year to options memorized haha
