Bob Uecker was amazing in every way. I honestly think he had the comedic timing of a legitimate top-shelf comedian. I love this Johnny Carson appearance from 1971. "This is actually a picture of me getting ready for a game." And what a turtleneck! www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHFC...

Michael Stipe just turned 65. It’s the end of R.E.M. as we know it (and I feel fine).

“Josh, at age 40, you will watch multiple CBS procedurals. Scratch that: you will *actively want to* watch multiple CBS procedurals.”
Trying to imagine my reaction at age 30 if I knew that at age 40, I would get really into [checks notes] CBS procedurals like Matlock.
