5 Things I Know: ‘Heart of the Beast’, 2026 Cardinals, ‘Digger’ hype, ‘Ted Lasso’ review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
5 things I know, fast pitch version:~HEART OF THE BEAST is my favorite movie since PIG. I’ve seen it twice and will again before the movies leaves theaters. The movie hits like Tyson, celebrates the relationship between a dog and human better than any movie before, and features Oscar worthy work from Brad Pitt (no bullshit) and a wonderful German Shepherd.

Who says you can’t do two things at once?

What if the person who believed in you enough to talk you back into pursuing comedy was the exact person who tried to drown you by taking everything?

Going to pick up sauceless pizza for my son is hard enough. He’s been around 15 years, and the red sauce doesn’t interest him at all. I ran out of red flags years ago, and stopped calling penalties when I realized I’m the dude who eats uncooked ramen noodles. Everybody has their thing.Subscribe nowThankfully for the pocket book, he has gotten into the cheap pizza graces as of late. $8 for a pizza these days is a steal, and all I have to do is go inside and enter a code into a portal that
