Spring ahead

 Get ready bitches because we spring ahead this weekend.


The sun is shining, birds are chirping and snow piles are a melting.


This is what I learned this weekend:

1. You can still smoke cigarettes at bars in PA even if food is being served. YUCK

2. Sports betting isn't really my jam.

3. The Batman was the best one yet. I loved it. Would 100% see it again. Most comic book accurate.

4. Wait, Tooma, your blood pressure is 190 over 120? How haven't you had a stroke yet?

5. If ya happen to be in NJ hit up the Tabor Road Tavern.

6. Also if you plan on visiting Tooma, just plan your trip and bring him along. After 10 years you would think he knows the places to visit...he doesn't.

7. The Pittston St. Paddys day parade was lit. At least the people were. I have never seen so many people that drunk before 1pm.

8. No bid deal, just a double shooting at the hotel around the corner from us this weekend.

9. Bears Smokehouse in New Haven is fucking dope as fuck. Brewery, BBQ, outdoor fire pits and bean bag toss.

10. I am on the look out for a shuffle board table. See one send one.

11. Rumor has it Jeffrey is looking for a new Truck - now the race is on between Leaden and him to see who gets one first.

12.TK told me the Yarmouth St. Paddys day parade has 25,000 people.

13. Guess everyone needs to step up their selfie game.

14. When you are traveling, the estimated time is just a suggestion right? Like you are trying to shave at least 10 minutes off right?

15. Look No Masks!!

The world is going to hell

 in a hand basket and I just want to kick back with a 30 pack and watch.


This is what I learned this weekend:

1. TK runs on TK time. So Noon means 2 pm.

2. The old Hearth and Kettle in Weymouth is now Grill 151 and the foods pretty damn good.

3. I am not going to lie, not sure the last time I went to Timberlanes, but they cleaned that place up nicely.

4. Pull tabs are still a thing and I am here for it.

5. Why pay for 2 day shipping when snow messes it up and so far its 4 days late?

6. A 3 bar pub crawl with a bus included sounds silly as all hell.

7. Hulu has some new movie out, No Exit, and it is getting all these rave reviews. Its a very bad B list movie (this coming from someone who likes B movies).

8. Do people still say "getting your dick wet"? Oh cool.

9. When did everything become so politically charged? Like everything? Was it social media?

10. The new Batman movie comes out this Friday and I know people are not nearly as excited as I am for it.

11. March Madness will be back in a few weeks and man it feels like the world is slowly healing.

12. Is this Ukraine situation the start of WW3 or Cold war 2?


Tuesday, February 22, 2022

TWO's DAY

Today is 2/22/22 - can numbers be palindromes?

This is what I learned in the past 2 weeks:

1. The St Pattys day parade in Scituate is Sunday, March 20th.

2. Rumor has it, there is a planned tripped to visit Tooma the first weekend in March. Chris Leaden is in charge.

4. Brunching on a Sunday is where I am at.

5. Has anyone done their taxes yet?

6. Heard Welchie reset his chi at the salt caves.

7. Wait the vaccine passport system is shut down in Boston after 5 weeks? Who would have known?

8. Green bubble life...just ordered a new Samsung Galaxy S22.

9. Pegging ya pants is back. First it was earrings on guys and now its pegging ya pants. What's old is new again.

10. After over 2 years the State House is finally re-open.

11. I really can't keep up with Mother Nature. I think that bitch is free basing at this point.

12. Prayers up for Chrissy, having a biopsy on some skin.

13. Fucking $25 for 2 beers at Banners!! I almost shit myself.

14. Is there any actual plan to start moving on from Covid being an Emergency? Not being an ass just an actual question. Are we just going to be living in perpetual masking and boostering from now until Bill Gates' predicted next pandemic. Remind me why we are taking advice from him again?

15. TK found Crossroads in Braintree and now has a new favorite Friday day drinking spot.

16. The Harp has not changed one bit in 20 years. Think Kristen and the Noise are playing next weekend after the Zoo.

17. Wordle and Quordle. I mean what a time to be alive!

18. Whats going on in Canada is crazy as all get the fuck out. 


Monday, February 7, 2022

So more winter?

I know that the rodent down in Punxsutawney said more winter but I already told you TK said less winter so snow until April 27th. LOCK IT UP!


This is what I learned this weekend:

1. Chrissy hates John Mayer, with a passion, and I don't know why.

2. I guess Bezos didn't make enough money during the pandemic, Amazon is going up $20.

3. Well I binged Reacher and I enjoyed every second. If you read the books the show is more inline with that than the Tom Cruise movies.

4. If you haven't watched the Tinder Swindler on Netflix, like whoa.

5. Shh don't forget Welchies Bday is Thursday and Jeffreys is Sunday. So as always party like its your own.

6. Just found out that even the Cape has a fucking St. Pattys day parade.

7. Congrats to Mario on the B Fit challenge in 18 minutes and 20 seconds.

8. Have you ever read Alice in Wonderland? Would you get an Alice in wonderland themed tattoo/sleeve?

9. Speaking of tattoos, I heard a whole back piece is about 40 hours. Just saying!

10. Rumor has it Joe Martell is not going on the wagon but is stopping going out to drink.

Blizzard is over

Just letting ya know that we are almost into February and TK told me we are almost through this winter. So if you are wondering, yes he is like the anti ground hog.  Hope you guys like snow in June.


This is what I learned this weekend:

1. Snow makes people lose their minds.

2. Even Bill Gaudet is into Wordle.

3. I love me a good snow party at the bar.

4. Congrats to Papi for the hall but what are we doing here? It has to be an all or nothing type thing. Not a popularity contest.

5. Is anyone as excited as I am for the Jack Reacher show on Amazon starting Friday? Ok, cool.

6. I got Chrissy into Peacemaker and man does he love it.

7. How can you not have school 2 days after a snow storm? I mean what!

9. We have the superbowl set, who are we rooting for?

10. The Royal Rumble for free on Peacock is where its at. Even if it was a bad showing.

CRUMBL

 Well a hot new cookie place opened up in Hanover so of course I had to try it. Lots of different choices that change every week which is always a good thing. I went with a reeces peanut butter cookie. Decent sized and tasty. But living up to their name, it did crumble as I was trying to eat it. Now I love a warm soft gooey cookie but this was literally falling apart. Now I do have to admit this review was done the day after I got the cookies so I had to warm it up. But I'm also hearing they don't serve the cookies warm except for the chocolate chip. I will have to check them out again and find out all these answers. Of course I'm gonna have to wait until the lines go down. Crazy out the door lines at all times. They are open 8-10 Monday - Thursday and 8- midnight on Friday and Saturday for those late night cravings when the edibles kick in! Bonus that they deliver!




Score - 6.1

Monday, January 24, 2022

all messed up

I think I may have covid brain or whatever the fog part is. I thought this weekend we were already into February...nah that's next weekend.


This is what I learned this weekend:

1. Pat Noble is retiring within the year - 58 years old and all done.

2. Have you watched any of these Harlan Coben series on Netflix?

3. Chrissy and fam are jumping ship from Verizon wireless and going to Xfinity wireless.

4. Rumor has it Chris Leaden is joining Chrissy on the trek to see Tooma. Has hell frozen over?

5. If you haven't had the pizza at True North you should give it the good old college try. Detroit style is something man.

6. I am hearing all these people losing weight when they get covid...huh?

7. You guys know that the football season is coming to an end so that means its Square season!!

8. Not many things more humbling than biting your tongue while you are eating.

9. Are you guys ready for the next Artic blast cold wave to come through?

10. Who is playing Wordle?


Monday, January 17, 2022

OK OK OK

We are 17 days into this new year and already it feels like we should be into March. When the clock hits 5:00 pm it feels like its midnight.

This is what I learned this weekend:

1. Winds that are 50+ MPH, the Cape is not a fun place to be.

2. I have come to the conclusion that I HATE Stop and Shop. They have changed the lay outs of their stores, they carry many less items than before, their shelves seem bare and their buy 2 get 1 free "sales" fucking blow. Sorry I don't need 3 containers of strawberries or 3 heads of cabbage.

3. Tattoos are a very expensive hobby to have.

4. I do not know one person who thinks this Boston vaccine passport system plan by Michelle Wu is a good idea. Most everyone I know is vaccinated.

5. When is the right time to get another dog?

6. Thank god I did not go out for that Pats game Saturday night, I would have been pissed.

7. So pretty much as fast as Omicron came in, it is now leaving (queue up Miley Cyrus Wrecking ball please). Is it time to rip the bandaid off??

8. How do we go from fucking 3 degrees Saturday to 50 today? Mother Nature must be doing the yayo at this point.

9. Chrissy is planning a trip to the Poconos to see Tooma March 4th if anyone is down to go. Rumor has it there is a planned stop at the Tabor Road Tavern.

10. Jared Rowland is coaching his daughters basketball team. Look out Rick Pitino.


Sorry gotta Jet!

Monday, January 10, 2022

2022

 Well, 2022 is off to a great start.

Yes I missed posting last week, I had the Covid.


This is what I learned while I was away -

1. Congrats to Orett on his 4th child coming soon, his first daughter.

2. Chrissy and his wife are getting a camper and have a site up in NH. Get ready to PARTAY!

3. We had to put Ronin down, as he had cancer.

4. What is worse - accidently biting your tongue or burning the roof of your mouth?

5. I love good people who do good things for others, Brian and his wife Jenn are great people.

6. I love that TK is spreading his wings - Alumni, Bates or Rags. Doesn't matter where but he ends up at one of those places. Can't wait till he ends up at the Next Page.

7. I recently read that 1 in 6 Americans have had Covid and at the time I thought that was high, now seeing everyone get Covid, I think it may be low.

8. Fantasy football is over, the Red Zone is over but at least we have playoff football.

9. Chrissy is back with the food reviews - gotta give the people what they want.

10. First Betty White now Bob Saget!

11. Catching a BU hockey game at Agannis is always a good time.

12. Chris Leaden is going to start a side hustle for meal prep for the week. Gotta drop him off $35 on Sunday and that gets you 5 meals for the week.

13. Big shoutout to Martell for helping me change out my ceiling fan.

14. If you see Jeffrey, don't speak to loud, as he seems to be hung over for 2 days now.

Taco Bell Wings


Taco bell is no stranger to trying out new and interesting menu items. but straight up chicken wings? and only out for ONE WEEK??? well i had to get down and try them. 5 wings for $6 isn't horrible. they were done in no time, came out hot, very crispy but still juicy. they are breaded and coated with taco bells seasoning that they use on their nacho fries. served with a side of ranch. if this was a permanent item i would get them every time with my usual 8 tacos. i highly suggest you go out and get them this week before they are gone (and then of course brought back every once in a while) 

solid 6.7!

This is what I learned recently:

1. The Matrix movie is meh. Not really sure it needed to be made.

2. I did like the Hawkeye series. Kind of wish it was longer.

3. Nothing quite like running into your brother on Christmas at the Chinese food joint.

4. Man everyone losing their minds over rapid tests, or lack thereof.

3. Some people don't give a shit about anything but themselves. They are beyond selfish.

4. Boosters or no Boosters, when does the world return to normal?

5. Where do you stand on a fake tree vs a real tree? Deal breaker for Martell.

6. Apparently, Mario is a darts guy now.

7. Omicron, Unicron, Decepticon when the fuck is this Covid shit ending. Can we just go back to living our life? If ya get sick hopefully you are vaccinated and you don't die. This cannot go on for another year.

9. Wait, Lip Synch battle is still on TV??

10. Uber eats is soo effing expensive.  Fuck Yo FEES!


Monday, November 29, 2021

Get your Xmas shopping in early

2. Not Your Average Joes has gone down hill real quick.

3. Chris Leaden's hatred of cranberries runs deep.

5. When do Sox Pax go on sale? Anyone know?

This is what I learned from Georgia:

1. The Mercedes Benz stadium is huge and nice.

2. Pats fans travel well.

3. The northeast needs some mother fucking Waffle houses.

4. Athens is a great place to catch a college game, go Dawgs.

5. Pretty sure no one in the south gives a fuck about Covid.

6. Peri Peri sauce rules the menu down there for wings. Let me tell you it's got some sneaky good back heat.

7. Blue cheese stuffed peppadews are something that I never knew I actually needed in my life.

8. The Claremont lounge is 100% the stripper graveyard. I am willing to bet the oldest stripper I saw was in her 80s.

9. I wonder if Chrissy bumped into TKs wife down in Aruba?

10. Please tell me you have seen these bizarre posts that Smiddy has been posting on his Instagram?

11. I cannot get used to everyone being so nice and calling me Mr. Derek down there.

12. All my Uber drivers were from NY or NJ, so I guess that many people retire in GA!

13. Coors light is not available everywhere. I had to drink Miller Lites, Mich Ultras, Budweiser heavy and Corona in a fucking can.

14. Senoia is where they tape the Walking Dead and believe me everyone will tell you that when you visit. Then point out all the extras as they walk about town.

15. To Go beers are a fucking thing and should be made available in every state immediately.

16. Tough loss for coach Lundrigan and the Hull Pirates team.

I hope that everyone has a great Turkey day. I mean the turkey this year must taste better since the price is up exponentially.


Monday, November 15, 2021

It is go time

 This months half over. Pretty soon it will be 2022. It can only go up, like the gas prices.


This is what I learned this weekend:

1. TK hates concerts. He can't wrap his head around why you would pay to watch someone play music. Has no problem watching a sporting event though.

2. Joe Martell had never heard of Yodels. Like what kind of world did you grow up in? Probably more of a little Debbie guy.

3. My underground weather guy told me La Nina is pushing her way through and it should be a mild winter. Not so much for the Pacific North West.

4. Congrats to coach Jeffrey on a huge win, thanks in part to Julian's 3 TDs and 2 2point conversions. Moving onto the Super bowl next week in West Bridgewater.

5. I went and saw Eternals, I thought it was pretty good. In no way is it the worst Marvel movie. That distinction still belongs to Thor 2.

6. Is there anything worse than that damn Island boy clip? Like how does that become famous.

7. Wait, the Patriots play the Falcons in ATL on Thursday and I am flying in on Friday? What is wrong with me?

8. In the past I have not really been a fan of the food at Buffalo Wild Wings but I will say they have really stepped it up since being bought out by Arby's.

9. I am more than happy to get a salad from time to time but it does not need to be swimming in dressing.

10. So winters fast approaching and they are saying Covid is going to get worse? HUH? People stay in most of the cold season, alone and miserable watching anything and everything on Netflix.


Monday, November 8, 2021

Oh yeah

 November is always my favorite month.


This is what I learned this weekend:

1. There are only 8 weeks left this year and that is kinda sad.

2. Will 2022 be the year we are done with Covid?

3. I guess somebody fell asleep before the UFC 268, yeah its me.

4. Never did I ever think I would learn so much about Prostate cancer at a bar.

5. Apparently, Rotten Tomatoes is bombing the new Marvel Eternals movie because there is an openly gay super hero. HUH? 

6. Any given Sunday, am I right NFL?

7. All of a sudden everyone wants to head down to Athens for a Georgia game.

8. You guys are not going to believe this but TK is making friends with bartenders.

9. Chrissy is gonna be looking for Natalee Holloway starting this Saturday.

10. Congrats to my youngest brother on his engagement.
