Lotta dudes think going to therapy is just venting to someone who agrees with you and that’s not exactly it!

And are you married?

I was married, but I’m not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

In July, Tesla rolled out a software update to integrate Grok into many of its vehicles. Do you use it?

Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice.

Had some fun borrowing an idea from our NFL group and looking in detail at the results of just one simulation (No. 620) of the 2025-26 season using my stats-based projections with some unexpected results: www.espn.com/nba/story/_/...

Let's simulate the entire NBA season: How the biggest storylines could unfold

I just liked that it was a bit like cable in that you were in the same eco system as your other programs but IMO, the biggest development over the past year was the Multiview feature and how you could customize your multiview with non NBA stuff in just a few clicks and it was pretty smooth.

Underrated niche storyline of the NBA season: the world’s best TV viewing experience of League Pass on YouTube TV is dead because they’re making you either buy league pass exclusively from Amazon or the NBA app as part of the new TV deal.
