[1/2] We start the show on Matt's balcony while various aircraft do fly-bys. Paul is delirious from all the Christmas stuff starting to arrive at work. Jacob is excited about the Cosmo's new special to attract locals. Matt sees a time-traveling musical on board; the boys consider creating a cruise…

Check your holes for Springsteen…

From @thatkimacheson on Instagram…
@mindnoodler sounds like he has some holes in his excitement for the Springsteen movie.
But Springsteen wants to fill Americas hole. Then he wants to fill your holes Matt. Springsteen is like Santa filling all the holes in one magical night in an old Chevy pulled by 8 tiny east street band members.
Let him fill your hole Matt... let him fill it...

Yes, @thefamouspaul.bsky.social , a fat raccoon can bend this style of feeder pole, and the squirrel baffle is only moderately good at keeping them away. Most of my other feeders are on WBU APS poles with raccoon baffles, but the raccoons haven't bothered this one since we moved out of the city.

[1/2] Matt's in St. John, but not the one he expected to visit. With Scoopfest still fresh in our hearts, the chat extolls its highlights… the Bucket Shows, a windy but fun Whiskey BBQ, all the fantastic performers, trivia battles, and podcast tapings, and much love for Goudeau and Pint of Plain.

Tonight a casino staff member challenged my presence in a women's bathroom. She was standing behind me. I was wearing jeans and part of a shark onesie. What?
