This AI shit is really getting out of hand. I mean, they even made a video of a talking penis wearing sunglasses.

Things most Americans agree on:

Groceries cost too much.

Tariffs suck and make no sense.

Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.

The debt is a mess.

The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.

Americans are exhausted.

AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.

Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.

Canadians are super fucking cool.

Mexicans are chill.

Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.

Good neighbors are a blessing.

Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.

We all question, are we alone in the universe?

We all fuck up along the way.

Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!

Things we’re told to fight about:

Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.

That’s the joke.

Tell me about Sleepy Joe again? Need to set an age limit on the presidency.
We’ve been having to hear about cognitive testing for the last 6 years. Complete bullshit.
Get somebody that doesn’t need their food cut for them.

Since the @WhiteHouse and @POTUS is mad about this, please don’t retweet or share

RETWEET if you support Scott Pelley after CBS News has just fired him.

@QondiNtini @NBCPhiladelphia My daughter sent me this right away. Looked at her and said “yup, that’s Philly.”
I worked with a dude that was our sous chef and he looked and sounded just like this. I miss the hell out of Dante. He was awesome to work with.

@HubieTalksHoops @espnSteveLevy I was 4 and I still remember watching it with my dad.
I watched last night with my daughter. It doesn’t feel reel.

@Jason2580432059 @_NoahHiles His spring training was so good that other clubs were talking about him. He’s the number 1 prospect in the game. Not number 1 SS prospect, he’s the number 1 overall.
This isn’t rushed. The kid deserves it and the Bucs need him.

@nut_history JFC. I knew I was gonna come to the comments and see a bunch of people saying “tie goes to the runner”, but holy crap!!! I didn’t know there could be this many people that didn’t know it’s not a rule.

@GOPispoop @zoinforms I don’t get to listen very much anymore either. Work and life happened. The show got me through some rough times and I listened religiously. Miss being able to keep up.

[Jim Brinkman @Jimbrinkman20]

@GOPispoop @zoinforms The March Sadness tournament that you voiced was amazing.

[Jim Brinkman @Jimbrinkman20]

We need more stories from this guy. Because I guarantee there’s more of them that are just as great.

"One day Gates Brown wasn't in the Tigers starting lineup, so he grabbed two hot dogs from the clubhouse.
Manager Mayo Smith told him to pinch hit. He stuffed the hot dogs in his jersey to hide them from his manager.
"I always wanted to get a hit every time I went to the plate.
This was one time I didn't want to get a hit. I'll be damned if I didn't smack one in the gap and I had to slide into second-head first, no less.
I was safe at second with a double.
But when I stood up, I had mustard and ketchup and smashed hot dogs and buns all over me.
The fielders took one look at me, turned their backs and damned near busted a gut laughing at me.
My teammates in the dugout went crazy." Gates Brown was then fined $100 and when Mgr. Smith asked him what he was doing, the hitter came clean:
"I said, 'I was hungry.
Besides, where else can you eat a hot dog and have the best seat in the house?'"
Gates Brown.
"I took a little English, a little mathematics, some science, some hubcaps, some wheel covers."
Gates Brown when asked what he had majored in back in high school.

@roybelly The only time ketchup is acceptable on a cheesesteak is when it is a subpar cheesesteak. Otherwise it’s not needed and ruins a good cheesesteak.

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office.

Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known.

He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions.

Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?"

I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well."

The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year.

Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there.

But at game time, the tires were flat.

I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands.

Now it was time to reset.

"Shower well" means exactly this:
• Watch the frustration circle down the drain
• Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind
• Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest

Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight.

Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization.

I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball.

Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home.

You can carry all of that through your front door.

Or you can shower well.

I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them.

The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up.

Either we win. Or we learn.

The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day.

So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well.

Tomorrow is a new at-bat.

What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.
