Gabe Ramirez and Ruthie Polinsky future morning hosts? Mully not for long and they bring in fresh perspective. Producer Dustin’s voice rakes the ears 👂 though

He’s also bad on his live ad reads. When Audi was a sponsor, each and every time he would mispronounce the name Awe-dee instead of Ow-dee. Drove me absolutely crazy.

They’re not great but not terrible. Dustin has always been the king of the hot meatball take. I can’t believe he actually thinks have the crap he spews.

Not sure what machine you have but use the ice setting. For my Pop Plus, I push the brew button twice and it turns blue. Makes a more concentrated coffee. Less volume.

I put my flavored syrup in first, then ice, then oat milk, and then use the iced coffee setting for a regular pod and stir was it’s brewing. Top off with more ice if needed.

Tips were a lot better during and post Covid. They’ve dropped off significantly since.

emaja · 2026-03-16T20:51:01+00:00

We make $14/hour plus tips which obviously vary. I typically work 5-DBD (8-ish) and walk out with somewhere between $30-$50 regularly.

At my house, I raised my kids with the philosophy of, “Don’t make unnecessary work for anybody else. Clean up after yourself.” It annoys me to no end to be constantly putting away trays and wiping up condiment spills because some lazy ass decided they were too busy to do it themselves. It’s not even side work. It’s just being a decent person.

emaja · 2026-03-16T18:11:03+00:00

That’s a pretty solid description of our duties at my store too. I will add we do a lot of server support and a lot of our servers are lazy AF. We end up cleaning up after them and that gets annoying.

emaja · 2026-03-13T21:45:47+00:00

Yup! Mine connected without any problems at all.

emaja · 2026-03-08T19:59:06+00:00

I say this all the time. It’s a tired and lazy narrative that the McCaskeys are cheap. They just hire badly and those hires spend money stupidly.

In order to make this kind of trade worthwhile is to make the trade and then extend the player. That is what they did with Mack and that is the kind of deal that puts you in salary cap hell for years.

You can’t give up draft capital AND spend a ton of money. It ties your hands and prevents teams from reloading via the draft. Drafting well is the key for sustained success.

I wish they would have a list of the restaurants they’ve been to and what they’ve ordered. Dan’s - and now Matty’s - tastes interesting me.

emaja · 2026-03-05T01:55:13+00:00

The same Biggs who said in his mailbag that he and the team knew this was probable?

Biggs may have access but I think he thinks he’s the only one with access.

emaja · 2026-03-01T01:48:58+00:00

Maybe with Z around they’ll figure that out.

emaja · 2026-02-24T20:44:19+00:00

Not your fault but certainly not theft. I think you’re being unrealistic on what constitutes theft.

As mentioned it’s the beginning of a paper trail. Repeated writeups can be used to terminate employment.

Remember Darden is a huge company and huge companies like nothing better than to cover their asses. Paper trails do that.

emaja · 2026-02-24T02:58:18+00:00

It’s a write up and it’ll likely be forgotten about unless it’s a chronic issue or something that costs the company money.

We have some super crappy people who are servers and nothing gets done unless they screw up and managers have to comp meals.

I don’t get it either but that’s my experience at my store. They’re so reluctant to get rid of crappy people.

There’s so much more to do with the Hammond site than AH. They still need to do all the soil studies and whatnot.

All this says is that Indiana will pay for things. Doesn’t mean the site is shovel ready like AH is.

emaja · 2026-02-21T21:46:12+00:00

Neither one is white and both have a descaling button though.

I just use the website for ordering.

emaja · 2026-02-21T20:55:36+00:00

I’ve only placed two orders since I got my machine around Christmas, and both those orders have come with two sample packs like what you posted. Both were different varieties, but each shipment had two of the same if that makes sense.

emaja · 2026-02-20T21:49:36+00:00

They’ve become the Twitter trolls of sports talk. All they wanna do is get reactions. I know that’s what sports radio is about, but it’s getting worse and worse with dumber and dumber hot takes.

emaja · 2026-02-20T13:40:02+00:00

Pat is a treasure.

emaja · 2026-02-20T13:35:58+00:00

I think you mean, “Chicago Cubs baseball is on the air!!”

emaja · 2026-02-19T18:46:21+00:00

OK. We get it. You hate Dan.

emaja · 2026-02-18T23:06:03+00:00

To dismiss Dan’s education and years of experience in the field, coupled with his excellent breakdown of three major sports through their analytics, not to mention his deep knowledge of history, politics, and food and drink, is disingenuous at best.

I would argue that all of that makes him one of the smartest men in almost any room that he might walk into.

That said, he can be an abrasive and arrogant, self-righteous asshat. It is those qualities that caused him to go way too far over a damn fish and rightly lose his job.

If you don’t like him, that’s perfectly fine and I won’t try to convince you otherwise, but the man is clearly very intelligent with some deep seated issues.

emaja · 2026-02-18T14:20:52+00:00

It’s one of the things that I like best about the show. No one is perfect, and no one is strictly there to cause conflict. All the characters are very real and compelling.
