No way I’m going on a rocket with Bezos’ wife. It’s a 50/50 coin flip at best; either he loves his wife and wants her to return, which would leave you very safe, or he is ready for a new model and a space incident would be the cheapest way possible to fix the situation.
What if the team that gets the ball first goes on a drive of say, 9:57, and kicks the game winning FG or scores a TD as time expires, does the other team still get the ball?
I wouldn’t know, Hulu decided to end the program just before they announced the winner smh.
I guess it’s time to ban the: “Be Aggressive… B-Be Aggressive!” Cheer
Schumacher F1 Car

From the same auction…I’ll save $53m and just buy one of Schumacher’s first F1 cars for a cool mill, and hang it on the wall…

I don't know how they expected that to succeed long term given its price point.


Other than the super hardcore nerds, no one that can afford Four Seasons level prices and has infinite options for where to vacation were ever going to choose to be stuck in a hotel LARPing, with no pool, spa, or other luxury services…

There is a lot of shite he isn't supposed to be doing on youtube, but he does it anyway. You can look it up yourself and see how many people were in previous vids.


I don’t disagree there, but there’s no law against how you pick a ‘contestant’ for his YouTube stuff, and that doesn’t mean it’s rigged on YouTube.

The difference is, he’s gotta answer to Amazon for this show, and Amazon isn’t going to leave themselves exposed.

Most of these people if not all are actors, you can go back and see most of these people in other Beast videos.


I don’t think they can legally “fake” any of the actual show, legally they’d have a giant class action lawsuit against the show and mainly Amazon.

I think the reason why everyone is trying to out “good guy” each other, they’re all trying to get in the good graces of the Beast team and be in future videos

the old guy absolutely made the right decision in picking the new captains close friend. Stupid for everyone else to call him out.


That part was so ridiculous. Especially since that dude’s decision earlier saved 3 of the top 10 when he selflessly passed up the million dollars.

The first guy was right to eliminate the women. The women had been loudly saying they were gonna do everything to keep their “sistas” around

*All three were idiots for not taking the million dollars, and removing 1/3 of the contestants left, (around 40 ppl I believe?) … the idea of “integrity” when all but ONE person will eventually get eliminated anyways

International YouTube and geoBlocked in the US. I would have turned it on and left it on for 24 hrs if it was that easy here.


Spend a couple of dollars on a vpn, and that problem is solved. Much cheaper than peacock per month.

In GTP, Dries Vanthoor crushed it during quali and the first little bit of the race, but he was also their downfall. He got too impatient at the end and broke the car trying to do an ill-timed pass, and then their strategy bungled it even more when they didn't change the nose in that last caution


We made our way to the grandstands for the last 2.5 hours, it was electric keeping up with the battles in all the classes till the end.

The two Porsches at one point really were in a class of their own darting through the traffic, Dries did a fantastic job catching them as much as he did.

It’s a shame there were so many issues in the night sessions. It was super cold, the cars were on skates coming out the pits on cold tires. Kobayashi put on another show when he got it at night before their car had issues. Dude is super fast, even at his age.

Also, watching Connor Zillich drive is a treat. You can just see his speed vs everyone else when he’s in the car. Drove into one too hot to end their chances, but the kid is electric.
Weather is beautiful here in Daytona. If you’re a bmw, in any of the classes, you’re liking what you got so far.

We scored an infield parking pass off Facebook, it’s well worth it. Great spot. I can’t wait for sunset, that’s my favorite part of the race.

After the 4 degree weather and blizzard all week in Louisiana, I’ll take a breezy 40s tonight, after the 60s we’ve had today
Are there any updates on the progress on getting I-10 reopened from lafayette to Baton Rouge?

I need to get from Lafayette to Slidell and can’t find any good info. 190 seems to be the way for now…

lol. Ohio state is one of the few with the big bucks.


Those guys with the big bucks just got what they were paying for though. Telling them they need an additional $10m to keep a guy that’s already on the team is going to be a harder sell than you think.

It’s not just an OSU problem, it’ll be a new problem going forward for anyone who wins a title and has an incredible freshman talent like that.

His nil “valuation” is @ $3.7m from Google search… He would be crazy to not entertain an offer of 2x to 3x that.
I think he should enter the portal now. Dude already has a natty, and could garner Bryce underwood type money on the open market.

Kid has already shown he could go to the nfl right now, may as well get paid as much as possible over the next 2 seasons he is forced to play in college.

*I can’t see OSU NIL ponying up big dough for next season, they got their money’s worth this season, no need to spend big next year for them.

re: Dune Part 1 vs Dune Part 2

I love both movies, but tend to agree here.

Part 2 would’ve been better if the beginning half was slightly condensed and back half wasn’t as rushed.

Ex) it just immediately cut to Feyd bombing the rocks and his uncle’s line: “Old fashioned Artillery, brilliant” …. What did he actually do different than Raban from earlier in the movie when Raban fired all the missiles at the mountains earlier?

Imagine Blake Dean vs Jordy Culotta being battling salesmen for who you let fix your roof


That roofing Co gonna be sponsoring every travel ball tourney and pimping Blake out as their org’s face. Wouldn’t be the worst marketing strategy really. Better than being stuck in a losing battle @ a college w/ no money & dwindling resources.

Did you camp in the infield when you went previously? I’m looking into it for next year. Although Petit Le Mans looks like a blast too!


In my past two trips, I flew in and slept in a rental car the first time, then flew right back home, pretty much only sleeping on the plane for 48 hours (I don’t recommend that route)

The second time we went we tent camped outside. It was cold as hell, but it was great, we got there super early on Thursday when the gates opened and got us a perfect spot on the back row, right by the entrance (so no one was behind us & got extra room).

*The problem I’ve noticed now, they’ve taken away the tent camping spots that were closer to the trams and converted them to Arab spots. And the outside tent camping is reduced to the far back corner (which is a long hike to the trams to the infield)

*Id love to get an infield camping spot in the future but they’re hard to come by unless you want to pay a lot more.

For this trip, I figured out what dates this year’s race would be held while watching last year’s race, and booked a vrbo for really cheap about a mile from the track, so we’ll have a spot to easily go back and forth to during the night.
Will be heading back to the Rolex for the first time since the 2019 race. Hopefully we get a full 24 hours this year and the rain won’t be as severe. (Every race we go to, no matter the series has rain or a threat of rain. Smh)
