When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.

He's definitely one of the better voices in the NBA, both written and spoken, wish he was going like, somewhere else, although I don't know where.

Not about Kanye specifically.

But why do these kinds of racists have to cram it in to every single little unrelated thing? How does that happen in what I assume is a sports interview show?

i.e. "Hello Mr. West. What do you think about the LA Lakers chances next season?"
"The jews control Hollywood! The mainstream media won't tell you about how they are murdering black babies!!"
"So you think they might not make the playoffs?"

I assume they filmed it before the comments came out, probably before pre-season started.

edit: Oh. no they didn't but they did book him well before. It sounds like they were lead to believe he was going to apologize or show remorse but turns out nope, he's just nuts.

The athletic is trying to make their podcasts unlistenable. This is the only conclusion I can come to after today’s episode of Robert Mays show started with four minutes straight of ads. What the gently caress man? Was the NYT money not enough to maintain what they were doing

They were basically just burning VC money until they got sold so now the NYT actually has to figure out a sustainable model

This makes sense, probably why the latest Giant Bombcast has like a 6 minute ad break in the middle.

Yeah. The first thing I thought when I saw this guy say "I spent $28 at Taco Bell CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?!?!?!" was "jesus christ how are you not in the hospital instead of on tv".

Also to be fair to that guy which I am loathe to do it might be easier where he is. One time Amazon flew me to Bellevue to interview and a meal at Wendy's was legitimately a good 25% more than it was in Austin for the same thing

the most unbelievable part of the story is that it was allegedly just his tuesday lunch. I'm supposed to believe an investment banker ate 28 dollars of taco bell, on a lunch break, and went back to work?

definitely uncommon for an investment banker, but I've known many dudes where that would not be an uncommon lunch/dinner. but we have some heavy hitters in the South. I'm not even a heavyweight w/r/t Southern eating and I normally hit about $22-24 at TB.

Yeah I learned that when I took a random trip to Dallas in about 2005, went to a BBQ place because we'd driven 14 hours and were hungry, I ordered a "sampler platter", and didn't realize until the food arrived that I'd actually ordered three pounds of meat plus the usual sides.

The toilet in the hotel room never stood a loving chance.

If you eat 28$ worth of Taco Bell you are going to experience some inflation.

Here's the thing: I don't remember much about that debacle. I do remember that brisket was the base of the "sampler platter" and when it all came out it practically looked like a mixing bowl filled with loose meat & BBQ sauce with a cornbread muffin etc on top.

After we were done I'm pretty sure I spent 20 minutes of a 10-minute walk waddling back to the hotel, destroyed the toilet my room, and fell into a coma for about 12 hours.

That and I remember when those of us who ordered the "sampler platter" didn't get our food at the same time as everyone else and asked about it, the waitress giggled and said, "Do y'all realize you each ordered three pounds of meat???" and I internally reacted like this:
