In honor of our cross-podcast athletes like Robert Rozier, I would like to propose a Fantasy Football league where the potential for detriment to society takes the forefront. We're talking Deshawn Watson as your QB. a redemption case, like a WR or RB who got shot and is still in the league. Drug addiction, recovery. The potential for domestic violence. These should all be factors in drafting. I'm thinking a 12 person, full PPR league on ESPN. Let me know. Still got a couple weeks till the season gets going.

Edit: James’*

Anybody notice James doing the cameos less in newer episodes? (James’ grandma, Dexter Manly interior designer from NYC, Vince McMahon)

Could just be me, but I haven’t heard any of em from new episodes from like the beginning of the year maybe. I miss those, they definitely added great comic relief in some wild stories (Dexter trying to hide the athlete from Vince behind his front door lol)

I bought tickets for the Milwaukee show months ago but I can’t find my tickets, does anyone know what app the tickets originally download to for the Pabst?

I can’t find any kind of receipt in my email.

In the hotel business I’ve encountered hundred of celebs in my tenure. Some A list, some way down the alphabet.

Here’s my favorite story.

Ludacris stayed at my hotel in 2002. Our hotel got all the concert acts in town. I was working audit.

He came into the hotel around 1am after the show, no fanfare, nothing big, I buzzed him in. All good.

15 or so minutes later an attractive young woman comes in, not suspicious. She said hello she small talked cordially then headed to the locked elevators, but had a key, and went to her room, so I thought.

An hour or so later, a man calls from an outside line. I give the customary phone greeting with hotel name, and angrily asks, “wait did you say hotel?”
I repeated and confirmed hotel name. He said he got a call from this phone number. I told him I had no way of knowing which room or who called. He got angry and said something about “her doing it again.”

The young woman from an hour before comes down to the lobby about 15 minutes later, with another person, chatting. Suddenly my doorbell rings. A man enters, immediately sees the woman, he starts screaming at her.

Then Ludacris comes into the lobby from elevators, asks the woman what’s up, and the guy is like “did you f**k Ludacris?” And Ludacris seems to be familiar with this young woman. My spidey sense tingling, I page security. Turns out, the young woman is the guy’s wife. And they start verbally tussling. I’m watching, waiting for security. They finally arrive (it always feels like security will never show up).

While security intervenes in the feuding couple’s drama, Ludacris decides to avoid confronting angry man and approaches me at the desk like nothing’s wrong, asking for a water, with a little light in his eye, slightly muffling a giggle. I get him his water, and Ludacris and I actually had a very pleasant chat at the desk while the screaming ensued. He was very charming and polite, considering he just banged the dude’s wife (I have no idea why she called him from the hotel phone tho, there was def no sign or implication Ludacris put her in danger).

The husband and wife left and Ludacris went back to his room. Security told me he had his young kids in the car and left them in there crying while he came in to scream at his wife.

It’s a funny story, and Ludacris, I gotta say, was one of the nicest, friendliest celebs I ever met at the desk.

After 3 or 4 years of listening to STM, I finally decided to join the Patreon. I listen to the show constantly and I’ve pretty much caught up with the regular episodes, so I figured it was time, especially since I now have a whole pile of bonus episodes to work my way through.

And I already got my shout-out!

I actually tried to make things as easy as possible for Jimmie. My real name is Dutch and I figured he had absolutely no chance of getting it right from the spelling.

Google Home has been pronouncing my name as “Sonica” for years, which is actually a pretty decent phonetic approximation of how you would pronounce my name in English. I always thought that was funny, so that’s also where my Reddit username comes from.

Naturally, I used “Sonica from The Netherlands” for Patreon too. I thought I’d made it foolproof.

Jimmie: “Sonica… Sonica? From The Netherlands.”
James: “Sonica?? What the hell?”
Jimmie: “Sonica, like Sonic’s girlfriend?”
James: “That’s what I said.”
😂😂😂
So much for helping them out.

But genuinely, it was so fun hearing two people I’ve listened to for years suddenly say my name. You spend hundreds and hundreds of hours listening to them talk and inevitably feel like you sort of know them, while obviously they have absolutely no idea who you are. Then suddenly you’re sitting there listening and they’re talking about you, even if it’s only to wonder what the hell your name is and decide you’re Sonic’s girlfriend.
Absolutely worth it!

Does anyone recall the episode where the guy was very impotent and murdered someone, then on the stand he had to read all his texts about sexual stuff and how he couldn’t perform and it was infront of his family and all that. I remember it being hilarious but also very cringy to listen to.
Cheers legends

What the actual fuck is that episode. And the ending, wow....

This is a long shot but here it goes. I can’t remember exactly what the anecdotal story is here with Jimmie, but he speaks about his friend asking him to go over to his old house or ex-girlfriend’s house to get his Click dvd, and Jimmie is laughing super hard about it. James says “your Click dvd? Really?”

I’ve been trying to find it forever and I haven’t had any luck yet.
