This beast had me up at 6 am. No little trip to the front yard would suffice. So I packed her up in the car and we went to the park.

This is my radio show—it’s like if 120 Minutes was also storytime for weird adults, with a new theme every week. It’s free/ad-free/no Ai, and I make it entirely myself. Deep cuts, great authors, plus my own true tales

Seeing a bit of a split in the AEW Full Gear analysis. I kinda dig that feeling. The investment in Hanger, Darby, Briscoe and Brodido is paying off along with the elevation Mox has done for KOR. Swerve returning feels massive. We're in for fun end of the year.
