I did pick-up soccer for the first time in months. I saw a guy that was a bit chubby and thought I could mark him. I couldn't.

What I've learned over the last few days is that as whiny and obnoxious as Arsenal fans are, people that hate Arsenal can be just as whiny and obnoxious.

Since everybody was talking about the Met Gala, I'm curious about what actually goes on there. Is it just people walking back and forth on a red carpet in overly expensive clothes or is there an actual event?

My job: People call the office, tell me I'm incompetent, corrupt or naive. Then I have to help them anyway.

There was a quote that said something like Black people worship a Jesus who knows what it's like to be lynched, while white people worship a Jesus who will forgive them for being part of a lynch mob.

Every new band I don't like is an industry plant.

"Yeah, well your mom is a Hormuz," - Pete Hegseth at his next press conference, probably.

My guest on tomorrow's Words and Work will be Rev. Robin Hoover, founder of Humane Borders. He will be talking about his book, Migrants Matter. You can listen at 11:30 am on Downtown Radio-Tucson, 99.1 FM and downtownradio.org. @ktdttucson.bsky.social

The Feds are preparing an indictment for Tommy Tutone.

It's amazing how much free-market capitalism seems to need tax-payer money lately.

Leicester City threw their last few games to avoid playing Tottenham next season.

It's Earth Day...how come the other planets don't get a day?

I saw a Miller Lite ad where Christopher Walken encourages a man in a bar to get over his nervousness and offer a woman a beer. I wonder what's supposed to happen next. "Hey, I saw you across the way and thought you could use a Lite Beer."

Irregardless...

After their win against Arsenal, the Manchester City fans unfurled a huge banner reading "Panic on the Streets of London." Morrissey, of course, spent his youth supporting Manchester United.

...I AM HERE TO BARGAIN!

Am I the only person that thinks that Apple TV's MLS broadcasts have had a big drop in quality this year?

Sunday, tune in to Words and Work (sponsored by the National Writers Union - Tucson Chapter). My guest will be Tucson Poet Laureate Logan Phillips. He will be talking about his new book Reckon. You can listen at 11:30 am on Downtown Radio, 99.1 FM and downtownradio.org. @ktdttucson.bsky.social

I'm starting to think that maybe Donald Trump isn't a friend of the working class.

DC United got Knoxed out of the US Open Cup. I got a million of them.

J. D. Vance thinks the Pope should stop pontificating.

Much like other legendary vampires, Count Chocula has a phylactery hidden away so that mankind can't defeat him. It was a prize in a box of Cap'n Crunch that was thrown away years ago.

I'm so happy with the World Cup theme because the first recording artist that comes to my mind when I think of soccer is Jelly Roll.

Happy Secesh Traitor Surrender Day.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

"Let those who have weapons lay them down! Let those who have the power to unleash wars choose peace! Not a peace imposed by force, but through dialogue! Not with a desire to dominate others, but to encounter them!" #PopeLeoXIV

It's Infrastructure Week!

If Arizona doesn't win this, I'm blaming The Chainsmokers.

"Four Catholic faith leaders washed feet and offered Communion to 14 DHS detainees at the ICE facility in Broadview IL on Holy Thursday..." "Outside in rain and heavy winds, 50 Catholic faithful held a Holy Thursday liturgy, blessed the delegation and held their own Washing of the Feet ritual..."

This shouldn't be good. youtu.be/L2UzKWC9CfY?...

Given my day job, I'm supposed to really dig Parks and Recreation. It was a good show, but did the characters ever have to deal with P Card reconciliation? Would that have been more truth than audiences could handle?

HEY HAVE A GOOD FRIDAY 1993 years of the same joke

Man with a Polish last name called. He told me people have trouble with it, but I said that you just say it like it's spelled. He said, "That's the problem."

There is a serious movement in this country to restrict the definition of American to only include those whose ancestors were here in the mid-19th Century. That would still make me American, but not because of the ancestors these guys would have liked.

Bruce Springsteen needs to quit with the political messages and go back to playing songs like "Born in the USA."

Gen. Pete Hegseth (who won't stand for woke handwashing) did the right thing by pardoning the army folks that flew over the DEI No Kings protest. It was absolutely necessary to protect the protesters (and Kid Rock) from an Iranian attack and the looney TDS left won't give them an ounce of credit.

An unelected woke judge voted to cancel Our Hero President's ballroom that he was building FOR THE PEOPLE. This is the worst court decision since the dreaded Scott ruling. THIS MUST NOT STAND (George Bush)!

Marshall Ganz confronts power, harm, and accountability in the life and legacy of Cesar Chavez. https://bit.ly/4v3DMjn

Will Italy crashing out of the World Cup ever stop being funny?

Unfair to have them play both Bosnia and Herzegovina with only ten men. #BOSvITA

How are you preparing your heart for Easter? We invite you to carve out even a few quiet moments this week - in prayer, in reflection or simply in stillness - so that when the bells ring and the Alleluia is sung on Easter morning, your heart will be truly ready to receive it.

JD Vance has a new book on Catholicism. It will be interesting to see if he understands that it's more than just Evangelical Christianity with more candles.

Weird that Hungary has a presidential candidate named Magyar and he isn't regarded as the ultra-nationalist in the race.

Of the Many who helped put DTR on the air, the late Mark Mason stands apart as someone without whom we'd not be where we are today and to who we owe a debt we can never repay. dj ben(k) and Mark's life partner Jessica Shulman will celebrate his life tonight from 7-9pm with a special memorial show.

"A Church that does not provoke, a Gospel that does not disturb, a word from God that does not irritate, a word from God that does not touch the concrete sin of the society in which it is proclaimed: What kind of Gospel is that?” #SaintOscarRomero

I saw a KFC ad. I don't think that's the real Harland Sanders.

"Our coach's brother is in the Final Four, so we are as good as the Wildcats." - ASU fans

Every year, they read us the Gospel of Matthew, and I end up snickering because, in my head, I keep hearing the line, "Surely, this is the son of God" delivered the way it is in The Greatest Story Ever Told. That's right: John Wayne ruined Palm Sunday for me.

If it makes the Ukranians feel better, a guy named Zieliński just scored for Poland. #POLvALB #UKRvSWE
