If you sign up for Soundtracker's Patreon (which you should), you can listen to hundreds of great episodes about movies and also Eric and I talking about Pete Yorn's masterpiece album musicforthemorningafter.

I'm a doctor who has been on Jeopardy! and think pro wrestling is great.

Weirdos.

Multiple people in Music League this week assumed the song submitted in Spanish (Escapar by Enrique Iglesias) was from me solely because of the Spanish and honestly, I'm not mad about it (that was not my song).

Horror movies are making a big comeback because everyone is incredibly angry and frustrated and anxious and they provide a great way of dealing with that. Also, they're cheap to make!

That's my birthday if someone wants to be really cool.

Always been more of an Adidas guy, honestly.

"Two cats? Nope! Just me, Tails the Fox from Sonic!"

Book 18 of the year: I wanted more to happen, but I understand it's only the first part of the story and I will be reading at least the next two.

Giggling at the Sox macerating the Twins, as it should be.

"This lineup starts at the top." They all do! That's how lineups work!

Picking up snakes is not hard. I once terrified a very high bachelor party by picking up a western rat snake that was hanging out on the patio.

The old location was the first Michelin-star restaurant I ever went to. It was really good. Bummed to see them go under.

The day off enjoyer.

I should root for the Knicks because they were the colors of true heroes, but I think it is fun that the basketball city in the basketball country's team never wins the title. It's like how Canadian NHL teams exist for show now.

Obsession is as good as everyone says. Absolutely lived up to the hype.

Book 17 of 2026: Carl Hiaasen is great for when you want a sillier Elmore Leonard story set in Miami. Reading crime novels from the 80s is a hoot.

Stadium Stampede matches have outlived their necessity.

The copy of Donald Westlake's The Axe I got from the Chicago Public Library was annotated with Utica facts every time the toen of Utica was mentioned. I was delighted.

The little dude who used to live next door to me wanted to help carve the turkey one Thanksgiving (he was almost 5). We told him he can't use knives until he's older. He nods and accepts it. He wakes up on his birthday a week later and goes "I can use knives now."

Little Nephew called me "Mark" for the first time. Feels pretty good!

I like that the way I discovered one of my favorite sad slow pretty songs was an episode of Psych. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPac...

Gritting my teeth so hard and saying "FOUR DAY WEEKEND FOUR DAY WEEKEND" until I feel it.

One of the main things I took away from reading too many Garth Ennis comic books was that he also loved the hell out of the movie Kelly's Heroes as a kid.

I loved this version as a kid and remember thinking both her and Bernadette Peters were outrageously hot.

Farmers market didn't have ramps once this entire spring. Cursed year.

It is one of my tech's last day tomorrow and they made little water colors of all of our pets.

Walking to DND tonight I passed a man dressed like Ned Flanders but with long hair and sideburns. It rocked.

They specifically teach us not to do that in vet school.

This morning I watched Roland propel himself along on his back the entire length of the bottom of the sectional. Sometimes he emerges from underneath furniture doing M. Bison's psycho driver. He's perfect.

me in the supermarket with my mom when i was little

I love these doofuses so much.

Just managed to outrace the massive storm by sprinting home with a bag full of deli meats, as one does.

Gloria Estefan & Miami Sound Machine.

I went on a bike ride today past a little league field and somehow a child managed to throw a ball into the street just in time for me to hit it with my bike and I somehow ran over it without actually crashing.

Roland fell asleep before the walkoff.

This commercial came on during the Sox game and I thought I was hallucinating. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3N7...

Schlitz rocked and was a top notch old school beer. Heartbreaking that it is gone.

Book 16 of the year: the most fun you'll ever have reading an exceptionally depressing book set in neighborhoods you recognize.

When "Midnight Train to Georgia" comes on, you do the Pips background dance regardless of if you're in surgery or not, hand motions and all.

Gonna start singing every five syllable phrase in the manner of Sade's "Smooth Operator".

Today makes it a decade of being a doctor. My first vet mentor told me that if I could picture doing anything else for a living, he would not write me a recommendation letter. I'm tired and cranky but I still can't imagine doing something else.

My most perfect son turned 14 today. He's my heart in raunchy orange form.

My most perfect son turned 14 today. He's my heart in raunchy orange form.

The lads.

Have you ever seen such a happy little man?

John Brown was a great human who looked like a fancy rooster that lost all its feathers.

The best thing about the Star Fox games is they stopped trying to come up with last names after two characters.

I have loved the Odyssey since childhood because much like Odysseus, I am a cocky smart asshole who cannot get out of his own way.

Peacock cracks me up. Every year "we are going to triple the price of service". Okay, well I am canceling. "We would like to offer you the same price you were paying."
