This is for @Ciardelo and it's totally random.

I'm not sure why this popped in my head but refresh my memory.  Several years ago there was a discussion on Bellgab about snacks or fast foods, etc.  Are you the one that told me about a specific brand of popcorn that was really good?  I think it could be found in the dollar stores.  I may be mistaken.  If it was not you, my apologies.

Uh, yeah! That was me. At Dollar Tree they have "Brims" brand popcorn. It's been long enough that the bags are smaller now You've got a good memory @ShayP

Looks like it's Jason Callon Approved. 

Since Dollar Tree & Family Dollar are owned by the same people now, they may have it there too!

Thanks!  Good memory sometimes, but not with that bonus question at Mrs. Thompsons.   Ah yes, Brims.  Glad to know they have smaller bags.  I can't handle all that.   I've had a craving for popcorn and my go-to Utz brand is scarce.  I actually think my memory was triggered when you mentioned your location in a different post on this site.  Funny how that works.  Was it a portal? 

Cheers!

The Rick Emmet interview on with JBW on CTM was damn good. I then found the segments from Arc Midnight with Mike Levine (May 2 2020) and Gil Moore (in the last week or so of April 2020)

John must've been a real fan back in the day to have every member on the broadcast these days.  I renewed my membership - another 12 months. I really do enjoy his news segments, he can get quite funny at times and his humorous and snarky remarks towards those he despises.

Hell yeah it was good! @KSM32  I found the Levine one and listened to it yesterday.  A lot of commercial breaks though.  I heard JBW mention he interviewed Moore but I swear he said it was on a show that I never heard of.  I'll search for it.

I'm with you regarding JBW being a fan.  He is good at the musician interviews.  His Legends of Rock interviews were great on C2C with Leslie West, Paul Rodgers, Jack Casady, and Ian Anderson.  I wanted more.

I do the month to month subscription, simply because he has grated on me in the past and I would hastily cancel.  I'm digging most of what I heard so far since I resubscribed.

Cheers man!

"I was a royal bastard for nearly half my life with a propensity for violence" - @ShayP

The above is an exact quote from you many months ago. I have wondered what the 'Ell you meant by that because it seems so against your current (seemingly nice) disposition and would like a back story if you feel like sharing with all the other kids

Propensity for... VIOLENCE!!! Like punching and hurting folks! Gadzooks man what gives!?

What the hell man!?    @KSM32  That was random. LOL!  I do recall posting that but not sure when or in what thread.  Not even sure what context I even meant by posting it.  Anyway, yes, like punching and hurting folks.  I was "Aggro" and had no issue with getting into fights.  You know the type.  The "likes to fight guy."  Overreacting. I had no patience and took everything personally.  Also couldn't stand assholes (which turns out I was one).  Not proud of it but as one gets older they wise up.

I'd like to think of myself as a nice guy.  I believe I am.  However even today there are boundaries.  I will defend people dear to me and stand up to people if need be.   Overall, I treat people with courtesy, kindness, and fairness. Believe me, it is genuine.  When I started to mellow out a friend of mine said "Man, it's like you're going through a renaissance."  All of my friends noticed the positive change. That really felt good; especially since I was alienating people during that time.

By the way, did you look this up because of my recent two rants about the restaurant and that pizza dude?

No. I have not yet read your pizza rants - shall do so!

Ok so you were a 'hothead' and had a tendency to shoot first, ask questions later ( me, still, sometimes ) Very nice to read your positive reports on changing all that.  I was picturing you geting fist throwing angry at a prep cook in some kitchen back in the day. Kitchens can be stressful, I know that.

Kudos @ShayP

Is being a royal bastard better than being a commoner bastard @ShayP? I mean, I would think so, for sure.

@KSM32  Thanks man.  It took a long time to get my attitude straight.  I'm glad I did because if not I'd be in jail, homeless, or dead before I hit 40.

I only got in one personal skirmish in a kitchen but that was probably 25 years ago?  I have broken up plenty of them though.  Even customers.  Yes, stressful.    Some kitchens are like pirate ships. 

One of my rants is in the sandwich thread and one is in the pizza thread regarding that Barstool Sports douche.

LOL! @Ciardelo  In fact, yes.  It felt quite regal at times.  Then again, when I posted that comment I may have finished watching a bunch of Brit Coms and the like, so it may have rubbed off on me.  Now that I think about it, I was tempted to call my neighbor a 'right git.'
