"Why is Babylon 5 filled with 'Newsies'?" asked any overly analytical nerd after watching the show a lot of times. And luckily, @slatron's friend Evynne had an immediate fix that is pretty ... Strange ... Dr. Strange ... it makes sense if you read the article!

One thing I love about tennis, and Andy Roddick nails it, is, there's really no question on the GOAT or even a debate.

It's possible Alcaraz or Sinner COULD someday catch up, but I will be in retirement age if that ever happens.

My incredibly dumb NBA All-Star idea in honor of the Royal Rumble:

The 24 All-Stars draw numbers like in Royal Rumble. Two guys start out playing 1-on-1. A new player joins every two minutes. Whenever someone scores, the player who has been on the floor longest is eliminated.

1/2

Huh, so no way I was gonna be able to make it up past the Alcaraz-Zverev match, but holy cow with Djokovic-Sinner, that has to be one of the most ridiculous #AustralianOpen semi-finals ever, right?

Me, a Broncos Fan, after New England eliminates Denver: "There is nothing that will make me side with the Patriots right now."

Seattle, the team that humiliated Denver in Super Bowl XLVIII, makes the Super Bowl.

"Sorry, not enough."

. @alicemeichi.li and @mvbramley.art were both kind enough to guest on podcast with @slatron.bsky.social and myself.

And I literally had to tell both - "It's awesome you've got amazing art pieces in #DavidLynchArtShow2026 but we gotta talk about Babylon 5!"

Finally saw the Minecraft movie. Can't be mad a cashgrab aimed at kids didn't have an amazing script. Did love it felt like actors just had random demands:

Jason Mamoa: Macho Man costume!

Jack Black: Film in what I'm wearing now.

Jennifer Coolidge: Implied sex with Matt Berry in a weird costume.

For those that may not know. I lived in Wisconsin for a decade, and @thelogantrent.bsky.social grew up in Illinois. And full plan was.

1. Insult the Packers with insults to me days before game.
2. Let the Packers get a 20 point lead.
3. Have the Bears steal a win in the last two minutes.

...
@thelogantrent.bsky.social Your preshow comments and this feel like some super long con prank from a Bears fan ... and all I can say is well played.

it should be more acceptable to just go up to someone and say “i think we are the same kind of nerd and we should be friends”

mikeslater.com/ygcto-12b.html @slatron.bsky.social is a ruthless editor that will cut anything that hampers the flow of our amazing podcast -- a must listen for Babylon 5 fans!

He does take the scraps and make great bonus episodes though, and I guess I said this?

Shout out to the San Fransisco who tied for the 5th best record in the league, would have won half the divisions in the NFL, and wound up 3rd in their own division, a 6th seed in the playoffs, although, they are playing a team with a worse record :)

I've loved Monkey Bread forever and finally made it myself this year and ... it's shake and bake biscuits?

. @adamtodbrown.bsky.social is basically a modern day Cassandra and I hate how often he's right.

Hey @heytherejeffro.bsky.social didn't listen to my demands to be uncompromising artists and is letting Patrons votes on what next season of Nerd! will be. So, if you want to defy me, go vote!

Had someone give me advice to "run stuff I write through ChatGPT first" to be easier to understand.

I will give credence to proof reading, when time allows.

Didn't care for ChatGPT idea. Easy follow up: if they can't understand but ChatGPT can, they could just run it through ChatGPT themselves.

Early episode of YGTCO with @slatron.bsky.social and myself just dropped on the @heytherejeffro.bsky.social Patreon!

@moviehooligan.bsky.social indulged me in watching THE WORST episode of Babylon 5. And he still showed up to podcast when we were done.

With 18 pts, Nikola Jokic just scored the most points in a single overtime period in NBA history? Talk about putting a team on your back.

There have been 31 games in NBA history with a Points-Assists-Rebounds Triple-Double where:
1. The player scored at least 20 points
2. The player had a True Shooting Percentage of > 88%

Nikola Jokic is 11 of these w/ top points of 56 points (tonight)

Was talking with a kid and they chuckled “68, that’s one off a naughty number!” I said “Oh yeah?” And they went “yeah 6-7” anyway I’m old officially.

I had Mick Foley on my show a few times, and he is absolutely the person you hope he is. Great guy.

At the Packers / Broncos game. There were a bunch of green shirts / jerseys walking in but I don’t see them in the stands. Im guessing they’re still at the bars or getting a beer inside.
