Nice try, Hulu, but nobody WANTS to watch The Golden Palace!

Friday night at Target has become quite the high school sausage fest. I'm ashamed of these dudes, playing Catch in the aisles. Don't y'all know any girls to finger? You're in the fingering prime of your lives!

Umm...

I almost made a big mistake lol

For anyone who cares, West Week Ever needs a 2026 reset. You'll likely get THREE posts next week: The WBW40 on Monday, West YEAR Ever on Wednesday, and the first West Week Ever of 2026 on Friday!

At least EE will ship it better. Walmart shipped mine in a mailer, and then apparently kicked it around the warehouse a few times until someone made a goal.

"Have you heard of Weezer? Then I'm Augustus Weezer III!"

I just saw an ad with Popeye shilling for Solitaire Grand Harvest, and I find myself more offended than I thought I'd ever be about something regarding Popeye.

"What's the use of having a badass in the family if you can't brag about him? Now I know how the Mangiones feel." That gem is from the latest episode of The Simpsons. And you people say this show sucks...

Wishing all the Geeks out there a #HappyNewYear2026 aka The Year of the Geek! Here's a look at the main issues of Wizard magazine that we will be covering this year, but you know there's always so much more in the pipeline, so stay tuned!

Folks outside NYC are all "Yay, Mamdani!" Meanwhile, folks IN NYC seem to be implying he just pulled a "heel turn". Like, they're already over him. I mean, they've been sort of sour on him since the White House visit, but you'd think he just revealed an nWo shirt after being sworn in.

On the plus side, we can start our OWN NASA now!

West Coast, you gotta listen to me: it's midnight here, and everything has gone to Hell! Don't make the same mistake we made! MAKE SURE YOU *

I said indie comics were too damn expensive given their production quality compared to mainstream comics, and some indie comic creator called me "cheap", assuming I was talking about HIS comics. I'd never seen his prior to that. Spoiler Alert...

Happy New Years to all!

One final #NewBlog to end 2025 with

Given I've been around for Robyn's 30-year career, this CNN performance is like watching your friend's mom after she's had too much Tequila.

People get (mis)information from popular podcasters and random YouTube videos now. They have a disdain for educated/trained experts and factual data. Also confirmation bias is a big thing. You can find something to support any opinion on the internet.

Whole lotta misinformation on here. MTV shut down its *international* channels. Meanwhile, Americans can still ask each other "Remember when MTV used to actually play videos?", as the channel airs Wild N Out episode #1038.

MINI-EPISODE! We discuss a Last Man Standing battle between Daredevil and Doctor Mid-Nite, Wizard's rankings of the best non-superhero comics, the rise of artist Greg Horn, laugh at the Mort of the Month and so much more. Listen now wizards.transistor.fm/episodes/wiz...

I swear on my life this is a real news segment from 1984 about a 10-year old martial arts expert named Thor who has a breathtaking head of hair. He says his hair idols include Conan, Thor and of course Jesus.

My McDonald's drive-thru code was just "FU99", and gonna start throwing thay at folks left and right! "Oh, yeah? Well, FU99, buddy!"

I'm actively starting work the 100th episode of IRM. Earlier I put out an all call for questions. Bumping that up: If you have any novelization questions, or questions about the show or how I do the show, send them along. I'll answer them on my Q&A show after #100. Thanks everyone for listening!

Yeah, but did he say it to her, too? You know...

It never sat right with me that R. Kelly called himself the Pied Piper and everyone went along with it.

Always love these!

Yasssss!

Tonight over dinner I was asked what my “big goal” was for 2026. I said, “I’d really love to be on Kelly Clarkson.” “Why that show?”, they followed. To which I responded, “𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬?”

Hanging out with Will on Christmas Eve was a huge highligh of the year for me. I suggest everyone takes the opportunity to hang out with Will when you get the chance. It’s such a great experience and you just always leave laughing and a smile.

If you know any of my lore, you'll know why this link triggers me on a minimum of three different levels. www.costar.com/article/1115...

It's so strange walking by AEW chases now, and just not giving a shit.

I can't believe that MTG Spider-Man Collecter Boosters are $60 a pack. I've never seen a standard foil pack of cards with a $60 price sticker on it.

Oh wow! Thank you so much for the kind words @williambwest.bsky.social!! This was the West Week and West Month Ever!

Either Joanna Gaines didn't have final approval OR she's fucking delusional. Or some Mattel exec was like "Look, we've got some random Asian heads in a warehouse somewhere. Just plop those on a Skipper body and ship 'em out. I'm tired of that crafty witch calling me at all hours of the night!

Zuru is playing fast and loose with math when you realize Surprise #5 is just a clump of shit.

Cats got an Ex Machina scratching post for Christmas (a joke that will only make sense if you've read the comic lol).

This holiday season, remember to keep Thor in Thursday.

Every Thanksgiving, folks talk about the WKRP turkey drop episode. They might even discuss how hard it is to watch WKRP, due to the music rights issues. Might even fawn over Loni Anderson. But they NEVER talk about how Jan Smithers was an absolute smokeshow. Hotter than Loni, if we're keeping it 💯

Sugar Bear was fucking everything that didn't fuck him first. He was the only cereal mascot that always had gas station boner pills on him.
