I think you have to give it up for Mil- E-wauKAY. Which is Algonquin for “the good land.”

King shit.
OBAMA: The president wasn't even mad. About The Saddam Hussein comparison. That part didn't bother him. But he was very upset about The Cheesecake Factory. He took great umbrage. He said I didn't understand the work of the artisans in the White House. They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke.

He’s the best there ever was, man.
OBAMA: I heard Trump when I joked over the weekend that he's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. I am the father of two daughters. Do you think I could have survived their childhood without going to the Cheesecake Factory. That was my jam for a decade.

“He bailed my ass out of jail when I got sideways at that Widespread concert at Oak Mountain in 2002.”
Dabo Swinney paid a heartfelt tribute to longtime Pelham Mayor Bobby Hayes, whom he called a “second father” and one of the foundational people in his life. “I’m not who I am without him being a part of my life,” he said.

The funniest shows that happened most every night in my lifetime were whatever Letterman was doing, whatever Conan was doing and Inside the NBA. And I’ve talked to Ernie. He’s every bit as great as you think he is.
Charles Barkley was very emotional on 'Inside the NBA' reacting to Ernie Johnson's announcement. 🏀📺🎙️❤️

You know Obama is coming with zingers in Georgia tonight after the Cheesecake Factory joke sent an entire party into a TAILSPIN. “This man thinks a Waffle House is built out of Eggos!”

Moreno says El-Sayed can’t be a senator because he doesn’t understand that Jesus came here for our salvation.

I’m no Paul Finebaum fan, honestly. Mostly because he enabled the Harvey Updyke stuff. BUT. I’d rather watch him take his shirt off every time he is on TV than Pat McAfee.

I think the top, like, alt-rock songs that have happened since 2000 are: 1. Seven Nation Army 2. Mr. Brightside 3. Maps Look, I may be off or something but the point here is that the legacy of Maps is WAY THE FUCK BIGGER than you think it is.

New sentences are being uttered every day.
Karoline Leavitt: This is not about the Cheesecake Factory. This is about the Democrats not being able to appreciate beauty.

Okay, I nailed that last prediction, so here’s another. Sean Carter Knowles Super Bowl halftime set (two options): IZZO Big Pimpin’ 99 Problems (Jack White on guitar) > Don’t Hurt Yourself (Bey comes out, Jay leaves) > 03 Bonnie & Clyde (Jack leaves, Jay returns) (1 cont…)

I could see Dirt Off Your Shoulder sliding in there. He ain’t doing Can I Get A or Jigga What. Too much editing.

It’s like when they took seven years off between LP3 and LP4 and LP4 still banged.

Pat McAfee said this. Pat McAfee did that. Wake me up when Pat McAfee actually protects my computer from viruses like I freaking paid for.
