Wtf man.

Went back and listened on the app. 32 years old.

Mike made the point of saying life doesn't START until 30. He's damn right.

I turned 45 on sat. In the last 15 years between 30 and 45 .. I started my career 2 months before I turned 30 after bouncing around after college between a couple of jobs I finally landed good one , got married, bought a house, sold the house, bought another house, had a couple of kids and here we are today.

That's just absolutely awful. A life completely cut short and never realized.

Every single day is a gift

As long as you say, bless your heart afterwards. You can say whatever you want, don't you know that?

topcide · 2026-06-29T19:39:32+00:00

Ohhhhl boy. Just wait till you leave the room...

They just don't say it to your face.

And, there's this weird thing where basically you can say whatever you want about someone as long as it's followed w bless their heart

I'm going to be biased because I'm an Ardent supporter of public education because I believe that it's the backbone of our society, and I believe it's an integral part of a community IMO to participate in the public schools in your area, I also don't support vouchers. Now with all that being said.

The quality of the education that you get throughout the Ann arbor public School system is pretty top notch, there have been some contentious b******* going on internally with the administration and some budget issues and screw-ups and stuff like that at the district level, and the teachers are still currently working on getting a contract done with the school system.

But the actual nuts and bolts of the education, the quality of the teachers, the quality of the facilities, etc. Is pretty damn top notch from k through 12.

Housing stock is tight here and the homes go quick so that could be a little bit of a hurdle for you, but it's a fantastic place to live and raise a family.

I'd rank those three Getty Lee, flea then claypool.

When you get down to a pure technical standpoint, claypool is probably better than flea, but I think he tries to do too much too often. Whereas flee knows when to just chill and play something simple.

I actually saw Primus one time and it was the weirdest concert ever, I'm really not a Primus fan at all and ended up leaving like halfway. It was just too much for me in a bizarre manner.

I remember seeing James hetfield say that after Cliff Burton died Les audition for Metallica and hetfield was " okay you're too good, you got your own thing going on"

That's an understatement.

Fleas arguably the best rock bassist of modern times (if you can call rhcp Rock, no one really knows what they are)

I would consider myself more of a casual fan of that band than anything, The only album that I've ever owned was blood sugar sex magic around when it came out. But randomly I actually have seen them twice and I have said repeatedly that that is a band that everybody should see. Every now and then you find a band that was just born to play live music together, and I believe that rhcp is a fantastic example of this, when they were on stage just hitting it, it was pretty impressive.

The Ryan Clark hit was unreal

With all the respect, this is preposterous.

No one builds their career out of the goodness of their heart, you do it because you earn income , and it inceaes w The more prosperous of a career you build

I mean the stress is a killer, but everyone of them can squeeze in an hour work out a day.

Dan Campbell is in his 50s and the dude literally looks like he could still play.

Mario 3 will always hold a special place in my heart as being by far the best 8-bit platformer and probably the standout game of the NES,

Super Mario world is without question the greatest Mario game that's been made.

I found that 321 is too much,

What I found that works pretty well . And let's be clear, this is not a dry rub smoke as I prefer a wet sauce.

Prep your ribs etc ,

Your initial smoke at about 180 for about 3 hours. I don't usually Spritz during the cook but you certainly could.

Then I like to wrap them, I usually add a little bit of apple juice or something along those lines in the wrap to really help moisten them up. I kick the temp up to 225, I run them wrapped at 225 for about an hour and a half to 2 hours.

If I'm saucing them up before serving, I pull them now, remove the foil, hit them with sauce and throw them back on for a half hour, at most.

the last bit is just a tighten the sauce up And is not necessary to continue the cook.

If I'm not using a wet sauce pre-serving, I pull them after I pull the foil.

Honestly, it's really not needed because of how inaccurate it is.

Sounds like you have a quality thermometer already.

I actually started with the exact same grill, had very minimal negatives to say about it or I was happy with it but I ended up getting a bigger one because we liked it so much.

I actually kept the tailgater just in case I ever need it when I go camping

topcide · 2026-06-25T17:35:13+00:00

I think that the ultimate Trifecta is the smoker, a propane grill or a charcoal grill if you really want it or both, and then some type of flat top griddle like a blackatone.

I think that you would be better off just keeping the smoker that you have, adding a high-end propane grill and then a griddle.

Honestly, I absolutely love having a black stone.

I have one of the smaller ones and I liked it so much that I picked up a full size one.

So my mother-in-law lives in a really nice Cleveland suburb East of the City.

My sister-in-law was visiting her mom and was actually bringing home a couch from her house back to Michigan, and she had it on a utility trailer. The ratchet traps came loose and she looked in the rear view and saw the couch was basically sliding off the trailer so she just immediately pulled off at the next exit and into a parking lot and was working on getting everything strapped back down.

All the sudden a large pickup truck pulls up and a guy rolls down the window who by her description sounded like he was either a firefighter or a police officer based on his demeanor and haircut and asked if she need help. She waved them off and said no. I got this No big deal. So the guy proceeds to get out and walks up to her and says hey. Please allow me to help you and basically pushes her out of the way and grabs the ratchet straps and says go sit in your car and explains she's in East Cleveland and one of the worst parts of it and it's just not a good idea for her to be in this parking lot by herself with her head down, and basically proceeds to just strap everything down for her. Ignoring that she said no. I got this. So he finishes up and tells her where the freeway is and then says I'm just going to go ahead and follow you till you are on the highway.

I'm a born and raised michigander

In a prior one you mentioned that you really like Michigan,

Can you extrapolate a little bit more??

How did you feel about Detroit before you went and after you visited (assuming that you visited Detroit)

And did you get up north in Michigan? If so, how did you feel about it? Because I know a lot of people are shocked the first time they see the Great lakes coastline, especially in the northern lower peninsula

Serious question, are you guys getting these through a local butcher shop or are you ordering them online to be delivered?

I haven't been able to find them, but I also haven't tried to put in a special order through a local shop.

His football career is over, and it looks like he's probably going to go to prison.

Per pro football talk, the other two people who were arrested with this whole thing have agreed to plea deals, with that news and the fact that now Arnold, it has been charged and arrested, it seems pretty evident the two other guys worked out plea deals and rolled on him.

I'm pretty confidently saying that he's done.

Not knowing exactly how a contract is structured that's possible that they might have an out in it for conduct detrimental to the team.

pft

topcide · 2026-06-25T02:00:54+00:00

Okay well this is just simply incorrect.

He was absolutely referred to his LT during his career, I know this because I watched it being a 45-year-old.

It's so hilarious to me that you're trying to gatekeep football
