The one time I listed to a Rewatchable it was basically 60 minutes of the hosts confirming they had watched the movie

Definitionally they should have watched it at least twice.

I remember Mike Tyson always being listed as somewhere between 5'10" and six feet. My brother, who was 5'10", and me were ten feet away from him as he got out of his car outside of a strip club in Vegas. He was clearly shorter than my brother, it wasn't even close.

According to google maps, Mons Venus is located in between a car wash and a Denny's.

Did you go to the Denny's before or after the strip club

This was 1998 lmao and we were breaking a (lightly enforced) curfew so .. I don’t think I went to Denny’s

I did once go to a Waffle House in the 1990s on like 4 hits of acid it was wild

Hes probably 5'10. Theres a picture of him next to Joe Rogan, who is 5'8 and hes about 2" taller. I actually just had to google that, since I couldn't think of any other short people he might be pictured with.

Also mons venus is a shithole like every other tampa club but hilarious poo poo goes down there.

I think my favorite Simmons thing is what a foundation movie The World According to Garp is for him

He was a latchkey kid and his entire cultural frame of reference was shaped by whatever happened to air on HBO from roughly 1982 to 1986

Why your team from the location which you live in sucks but in a list that I will share periodically in order of magnitude of the metric I refer to as "Suck", but it's mostly subjective.

He wrote some tournament of sports logos thing this week:

quote:

95. Chicago Cubs

Who are the “UBS”? How is this not something that everyone has had a problem with for generations?

Because... they can see the “C?”

I’ve heard just about every insult about the Chicago Cubs imaginable and I’ve never heard anyone complain that they can’t read the logo.
