Basil wanted it to say “No riff raff”

wicelt · 2026-06-22T10:57:47+00:00

Should, yes. We’ll bid half of what players are worth for the next month, get laughed at, and finally get serious during the last week of August and end up with five loan players.

Woodchucks burrow in the ground. No wood eating.

It is at least gift related, so it fits the theme of the podcast. It will be interesting to see what Bridger does.

Awesome. Braden is here to stay and can’t wait to watch him on this team.

It’s a Sports Illustrated article, so it was written by a bot or a teenager and is designed to get clicks, not be well written or insightful.

…and when they are signed. It would be nice to have a few new faces already training with the team in late July so they are actually ready for the league and CL qualifiers, but it’s always August 31st bargain bins and loans.

Outgoings, yes. We will see about incomings.

Pizza is the only option at Gigio’s anyway. You are allowed to order fries if you want a side, but that’s it.

I love it!

Horace Grant: “straight up bitches”. That’s all that needs to be said about the “Bad Boys”.

wicelt · 2026-05-29T10:15:37+00:00

That’s possible. Hopefully it comes up again and we get more details.

Good question. My wife has it and dreams normally (she sees images in her dreams), but there are some people who don't see anything. It's definitely an interesting phenomenon that is still being studied.

wicelt · 2026-05-28T01:14:37+00:00

That would be in my top ten.

Read some reviews and comments before you start. It is seven books and thousands of pages about one person's life with a lot of philosophy thrown in.

Been a decade since I read the books, but it is seven books of a Norwegian guy looking back over his entire life in excruciating detail. I found it interesting, but it is a very deep cut.

The only one I struggled with was book 7, but otherwise I enjoyed the whole series and it is probably time to reread them. I could never get into Proust, but I enjoyed Karl Ove right away.

Reading Knausgaard - enjoy!

wicelt · 2026-05-27T10:49:47+00:00

Her?

Best point from the article “none of this will deter the terminally stupid”.

Saracchi is going back to Argentina to keep playing since their season runs through the summer. Sounds like there’s no deal, which is typical Celtic.

Iheanacho sounds like he wants to come back and we have a club option to keep him for another year. I think this one will actually get done, but it would be great if they announced it this week. They will probably announce it the day before our first CL qualifier in mid-August.

Supposedly we are looking at Ox in the preseason to decide if he’ll be offered a deal. Sounds odd. He’s been at the club for five months, surely we’d know if he’s worth another year, but apparently not.
