Every October 25 my timeline turns into a muddy field in northern France. Time for a St. Crispin’s Day 611th anniversary fitted hat drop? Just me?

These go surprisingly well with a World Series end of night Grand Marnier.
The ads: youtu.be/7gG8CDqGe6I?si=iGAP…
This gorgeous Blue Nun ad is the visual equivalent of a fondue set. Electric factory.
Reporting live from Victoria: there are no problems. Only wonderful kittens.

Kalshi's new ad runs four minutes.
Danny McBride wrote it.
The director made the E*TRADE baby ads and was supposed to make a McBride movie a decade ago.
They finally got their collab for a prediction market ad costarring Shane Gillis.
Ad lesson: If you’re going to spend a bajillion on betting ads, make them over the top.
Fans don't talk like this. Nobody in the 300s has ever turned to their buddy and said "passion never sleeps."
Life goals.
A New Jersey-based fan named Rev Ciancio visited 77 different ballparks this season. At each one, he would get a hot dog with mustard, eat it after “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” and grade it. Here are his top 10:
10. Joliet Slammers (National Association of Professional Baseball): A “rock solid” offering.
9. Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs (Triple-A PHI): “Exactly what a ballpark hot dog is supposed to taste like.”
8. Sussex County Miners (National Association of Professional Baseball): “They’re the only team that I’ve been to that has a ripper, where they’re actually deep-frying the hot dog.”
7. Albuquerque Isotopes (Triple-A COL): “It’s almost foul to highlight how good the hot dog was because there’s so much good there.”
6. Boston Red Sox: “This is one of the Major League stadiums where the lore of the hot dog holds true.”
5. Richmond Flying Squirrels (Double-A SF): “It was just a well-rounded hot dog. Like there was magic and you don’t know why.”
4. Brooklyn Cyclones (High-A NYM): “It’s part of their culture to have a good hot dog.”
3. Chicago Cubs: “I feel like Chicago teams have a right and a duty to produce good hot dogs.”
2. Chicago Dogs (American Association): The poppyseed bun was an “ingredient difference maker.”
1. Reading Fightin Phils (Double-A Phillies): “When you eat a hot dog at Reading, it’s as though every single hot dog was individually cooked. One person took one hot dog and made sure it was perfect.”

In the early 80s, there was no beer in Halloween.
Miller and Bud owned every holiday on the calendar. Coors Light was sold in 11 states.
So a brand director who threw adult Halloween parties at his house took the one holiday nobody wanted.
First he tried a cad of a werewolf. Then he hired Elvira. The rest is cardboard history. It gets weirder. 👇
Nobody remembers the Queens of Halloween that came after her.

Who is letting him do these sad pressers every single day?
In the West Wing, Leo spent a whole season fighting to let Bartlet be Bartlet. Eby’s comms team is fighting to never let Eby be Eby again.
