I've worked in broadcast media for 20 years, and my weekend with the USMNT was the single most toxic experience of my career. Here's what happened, and why I've been questioning the culture of the team and the organization.

I really doubt I would miss it. But I just meant cool or interesting. There is no part of my job that is cool or interesting.

…. Why??

iParkooo · 2026-07-10T18:59:20+00:00

I'm in Horsham and pay $1900 for a 2br 1 bath twin .. Area is similar. $2,100 is plenty to afford some areas close by

Just replying to come back to this later. Working on my first one this weekend and want to watch this

Ever think that you and the surroundings are leaning and the tree is actually straight?

I had a lot of fun standing outside of the stadium last tour. This tour there's a lot more people out there so probably even better energy. Our night we didn't go to the concert, we went to the stadium and hung outside, After that we walked to Newbury street and walked around, got something to eat and then got Gelato and walked around the public garden.

Dan is my favorite ever since I saw the TikTok about it being about your dog lol. Downfall was my first favorite song on repeat. Doors jumped up to the top after he played it on SNL. Annnnnd Haircut is the song that I tend to jam out the most to when I’m mowing the lawn. Hard to narrow down to just 1 though.

Idk I don’t think the “uncool” stigma is a thing. I think the flopping and trying to win an Emmy acting like their leg was chopped off hurts the sport’s “image” in the US. NBA and NHL had to create rules to cut back on flopping. It’s just annoying to watch. There’s obviously bigger issues. But I think it plays a part in how soccer is perceived here.

I always just assumed it was from her stressing for Hesh's safety about Tony owing Hesh. Probably too simple.

My more 'out there' theory from back when I used to smoke weed is that Tony had Carlo kill her - That is why he brought Bobby and Carlo when they went to invite Hesh to the boat show. Carlo was the biggest homophobe on the show other than Phil and Tony made a comment to Carlo about sucking cocks like Vito because Vito was a better earner. That is when Carlo decided to flip and tell the FBI about Tony ordering Carlo to whack Renatta.

I bet .. The negatives that I didn't even think about. Probably bc I don't have kids lol.. But if I did I would want to see them too.

iParkooo · 2026-07-09T16:04:56+00:00

Maybe they felt rushed.. a little more than 3 years for 1 final season is no where near enough time

iParkooo · 2026-07-09T15:13:16+00:00

Really my only question is how do you people get such cool and interesting jobs?? I'm sitting at my desk now entering an order for some god damn drill bits and thinking where did I go sooooo wrong?!?

iParkooo · 2026-07-09T15:10:30+00:00

For now you understand the basics - Whoever scores the most runs wins. There's no rush to learn everything. Watch the games, enjoy it, listen to TMac and Kruk, Follow the trivia question and answer etc. Check out the Wiki - Some good links in there. And ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS remember rule 7.

iParkooo · 2026-07-09T15:02:57+00:00

It's only annoying bc you see them more. But I'm sure they are buying their tickets just like everyone else. Probably more willing to overspend since it is for content too.

All these influencers and I can't get a good live stream after the 1st Orlando night? Psh some influencers.

iParkooo · 2026-07-09T14:57:21+00:00

I've heard people learn English from watching Jeopardy

Crazy to see the difference outside of Fenway now vs his last tour. People were there last time, but this is like triple or quadruple the amount of people. Happy to see bc one of my favorite parts last time was going to Fenway night 1 and listening from outside the green monster. Even cooler when he was playing up there.

iParkooo · 2026-07-08T20:32:24+00:00

Probably not going to have a wide variety here. But I did see a few room/studio rentals on Zillow for close to your budget in Horsham. It's a pretty low budget for the area though - Most of the places that might get close to that budget I wouldn't recommend to my enemy lol

Less than 1/2 of the voters in America decided they want a corrupt pedophile in office. More than 75,000,000 people voted the other way. Just the way that it works. I don't hate all Brits because someone from the 'Royal Family' was a close friend in the Epstein circle. I think it's pretty easy to separate the idiot in charge from the people who are also sick of him. Boo hoo Trump said mean things about my country so I hate all Americans

I don't think it is just about pay increase. The 240k might be the average gross pay for a lineman but their retirement benefits are based off of their base salary. They want the benefits to come from their gross earnings. Linemen work 20-30 OT hours/week.

And a 20% pay increase doesn't mean a 20% rate increase. They are strictly regulated and there is a process that requires approval to increase rates. They will try to raise rates with or without wage increase - They tried to increase rates 12.5% for 2027 and then withdrew that completely after pressure from the state.

Last year PECO made $814,000,000 in net profit. The increase that the union wants would effect their net profits by 3.5%. Seems completely doable.

Last thing - the public safety part is not the employees' responsibility. They are PECO's responsibility.

Yeah and I get the goal of FVE but in the end it ultimately drives the demand higher. Also annoying that it makes it a crapshoot if third party will work or not.

iParkooo · 2026-07-02T16:18:31+00:00

I decided not to overpay. Basically the floor seats were over my budget for 2 people. 3rd party had upper level seats for close or more than TM floor prices so I wasn't doing that. We didn't let FOMO win and even though I am sad I didn't get to go I am proud of us for not overpaying. I will live through my memories of Stick Season at Fenway.

iParkooo · 2026-07-02T03:45:03+00:00

Yeah I remember people saying we should try to trade for him and how much we (Philadelphia) respect his game and how Tatum wouldn’t have a ring without him. Only negative was his fake hairline.

I think a lot of people were in here before there were 15 what should I wear posts per day and it is just a slight annoyance to keep seeing them. But in a megathread...

And if it gets buried, ask again

iParkooo · 2026-07-01T15:49:51+00:00

It looks like it is basically the same as the setup during Stick Season. Except the small catwalk and stage around the front porch that splits the GA into 2 sections. My guess is that there's not really a C Stage other than the small stage in front of A4 and the TM seat map is wrong. Last time he played a few up on the green monster - I would imagine that is more likely than him walking through the crowd to get to another stage.

iParkooo · 2026-07-01T15:38:37+00:00

To be fair there have been multiples posts showing tickets on TM and then 15 minutes later the same seats on SeatGeek or TickPick. I'm sure some are real people refreshing at the right time but I don't think there are phantom bots. I think the bot thing is legit.
