It’s disgusting that people can bet on everything now and easily lose all their money from these apps raking in millions from them.

I don't see too many Trumpers defending this idiotic statement today. When you've lost even the die hards you know its over.

Great concept and I’d like to hear the 7 from future guests on the show. Credit to @KCMatt3 Question on how you defined the bands, were they ones you were loved for years or maybe just for a spell but they turned you onto a new scene?

This week we are digging deep into our own personal history and discussing the 7 Deadly Bands that made us the music fans we are today… this was a fun conversation! See how many you can guess for each person before we tell you! buzzsprout.com/788075/episod…

I’m glad Steve went back on his “no interest” feelings of hearing the latest Metallica album! I tried to convince him and the chat it was decent when it came out in 2023. And since he did the whole ReLoad box set why not try the And Justice one next?

I’m a very lapsed Catholic and I’m offended at this idiot’s proclamation

Catholics are not Christians. Christians trust in Jesus alone for their salvation. Tragically, Catholics do not. We cannot unite with a religion that says good works are required for salvation, because this is antithetical to the biblical gospel.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Actual Catholic Position on Justification: Initial justification is by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone, not earned by works (CCC 2010; Trent). Good works are fruits of grace, not its cause. The 1999 Joint Declaration with Lutherans confirms this shared view. christianunity.va/content/unitac…

I too almost went to the San Antonio show. Would have been fun and even more fun to meet with its enemy. Matt and the Counselor. Glad I saw Anthrax headline in 2022. Got full set. Black Label opened but I didn’t pay attention to them. Sorry Steve.

I also saw Megadeth recently, in 2024 headline. It was a short set but headlining. I will have to wait for the concert dvd to see this Maiden tour it seems. At least I made money selling my LA ticket for the tour.

Of course I meant in my first tweet that Steve is the self-proclaimed enemy of fun. In case the wording was a little unclear.

I’d guess this tech bro’s music taste are pretty basic to begin with

I am not joking when I say this. Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over. AI music is now very, very good. You just don't know yet because all AI music circulating today is from ~2-3 generations ago. Suno v6 pro et al has solved infinite personalized music.

Did SNL spoof the lesbian mask bar in Massachusetts? Missed opportunity.

A bit too rude? They basically want the bar manager to be sent to hell. No matter their politics or immuno situation the people on that group chat are horrible people who just want to exert control.

The fact that this is happening amidst thousands of ppl mocking some disabled lesbians for being a bit too rude while trying to raise awareness abt the ongoing pandemic is so bleak. There should be outrage at this change, which will make ppl think levels are safe when they’re not

This story reads like a parody of wokeness but it’s very true. The supposed aggrieved people are acting like entitled bullies and should be laughed out of town.

A lesbian bar in Greenfield eased its stringent mask mandate, a decision that has splintered the queer community in the city and beyond. trib.al/FyZjBWs
A Western Mass. lesbian bar required KN-95 masks. When it changed the rules, all hell broke loose....

Last Ditch Bar in Greenfield wanted to build community. They got a firestorm instead.

No kid will want to be called Generation Beta, for obvious reasons, so I propose GENERATION BRAVO! Sociologists I hope will take note.

Move the Chargers back to San Diego. Or to Mexico City or something. They're kind of a liminal franchise at this point, the equivalent of an auxiliary airport terminal.

More Judas Priest! I approve. Matt has such an odd range of musical likes. He’s not sure about hearing “Painkiller” even though he loves the title song? Does he debate so many other choices in his life this intently?
