I wrote a book about curling that is out this fall. I’m very proud of it and it’s designed to be enjoyed by anyone from the most staunch curling hater to the person who just goes to the curling club on a Friday night to “hang out”. You may pre-order it now and I’d be thrilled if you did

EXCITING NEWS! I have written a book about curling, designed to be enjoyed by curlers and non-curlers alike, out on Douglas and McIntyre on October 14. Pre-orders available now:

When Don Cherry (formerly beloved Canadian hockey pundit) first got Twitter, it was revealed after a while that he would phone an admin and leave a voicemail saying word-for-word what he wanted the admin to tweet. No question Trump is in his voice memo era

Merry Christmas from a normal man
Trump Truth Social post on fucking Christmas: @realDonaldTrump Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to "drop him like a dog" when things got too HOT, falsely claimed they had nothing to do with him, didn't know him, said he was a disgusting person, and then blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so. When their names get brought out in the ongoing Radical Left Witch Hunt (plus one lowlife "Republican," Massie!), and it is revealed that they are Democrats all, there will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story - a total Scam - and had nothing to do with "TRUMP." The Failing New York Times, among many others, was forced to apologize for their bad and faulty Election "Reporting," even to the point of losing many subscribers due to their highly inaccurate (FAKE!) coverage. Now the same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished. But sadly, that's the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!! Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas! President Donald J. Trump

Just in time for Christmas, my favourite albums of 2025. Deftones is in first by a LOT, I listened to that record maybe more than all the rest combined. But some solid albums this year. Great work everybody

Y'All Want a Single #119: "Prove You Wrong" by Prong. It's another proto-nu band that we don't really like but can see their influence very easily. We also digress into a long discussion about Headbangers' Ball and its influence on Bryan and metal music in general.

Picking the GG pods was easy. Nothing a Hollywood hivemind loves more than a celebrity-hosted pod so I just picked the biggest 3, then Dax gets in by arbitrage as one of the first “celebrity” pods and then “Call Her Daddy” is the bone you throw to show not all pods have to be hosted by celebs

I was unfamiliar with just how much of a behemoth this Prodigy album was. It was fun to learn about that, it was fun to revisit some total banger songs, and, this might shock you, but Keith Flint and Liam Howlett seem very annoying

So this Swedish band wrote an "antiracist" song where the title of the song is a slur (It was in 1992). So that's crazy. But then also, that album probably portends what was to come for North American nu-metal more than any other? It's very bizarre and simply "only on the POD Kast"
