Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Tuesday Night Wednesday Special!

In that I’m at least starting this on Tuesday night, due to a rehearsal Wednesday morning/afternoon and gig Wednesday night. Why did I agree to go to Washington Heights? I don’t know, not the biggest fan of myself I guess, because that shit’s far from where I am in Queens. With four very full 1″ binders and my violin? Yeah, definitely a glutton for making life difficult for myself.

Well, better that than being Wander Franco, at least.

That’s the brief news segue, incidentally. The Wednesday news is basically talking heads debating about how hurt DAK! is, so that’s not really news.

Sports on:
Copa Semis
“Look at this country!” vs. “And now I have to win one in America.” (Uruguay vs. Colombia, 8:00, FS1)

Blah blah blah Prime and other jokes
“Eh, game’ll be over when the starter gives up a crooked number in the 1st” (NYY vs. TB, 6:50, Amazon Prime)
Holy shit, an actual Wednesday Night Baseball! (Because the teams are good.) (LAD vs. PHI, 7:00, ESPN)

As I’m currently under word count, time for some ass-saving in the form of a discussion topic: So, this past Monday we drafted road trip tunes. As I mentioned, I have two separate playlists considering highway speeds or cruising down street speeds. I actually have a third playlist for when I’m tired after a long gig and I have miles to drive. After all, I’m regularly driving back late at night for 1-2 hours. Lakewood or the Poconos or the Hudson Valley are all far, and especially if I’ve heard loud music for the last several hours, I don’t want that. With that in mind… after-work playlist. Long day at the office or wherever, something to unwind on the trip back (even if your rush hour sucks).

And with that I definitely hit word count, so we’re good!

Senor Weaselo plays the violin. He tucks it right under his chin. When he isn't doing that, he enjoys watching his teams (Yankees, Jets, Knicks, and Rangers), trying to ingest enough capsaicin to make himself breathe fire (it hasn't happened yet), and scheming to acquire the Bryant Park zamboni.

I propose shortening The Paris Olympics to simply The Parilympics.

I have found this story intriguing. Boomers got stuck holding their own hot potato investment and are just straight up, “let us just do a temporary repair because I haven’t personally got much more time to enjoy it — after that, you all can deal with it.”

For a simple chill road trip tune this one does nicely.

I appreciate Uruguay’s tribute to democracy, but reenacting January 6th seems like a questionable choice at best.

SonOfSpam

Didn’t see the melee; how many guys did Suarez eat?

Horatio Cornblower

Guy thinks ‘Alive’ is a porno.

SonOfSpam

It’s shown on IMAX at Donner family reunions.

Fox News: “Peaceful, police-led Capital Tours are breaking out worldwide!”

Malacia en el Palacio.

Horatio Cornblower

Completely off-topic, but still very, very important:

Peter Frampton’s gonna be pissed.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“…possibly while high.”

Horatio Cornblower

Death, taxes, and Luis Suarez being garbage.

blaxabbath

Just so I’m clear on this. Uruguay has money for a soccer team but I’ve got to borrow against my grandchildren for their war with Russia?

Horatio Cornblower

THANKS BOLIVAR!

Doktor Zymm

Uruguay is at war with Russia? Neat

Horatio Cornblower

I don’t see what all the excitement’s about; this is hardly the first time something unexpected from Columbia showed up in Miami.

Horatio Cornblower

How did he save that!?

Mr. Ayo

¡PALO!

LemonJello

BAH GAWD, KING! THAT’S…THAT’S SUAREZ’S MUSIC! HE’S ON THE FIELD!

If only there was a product from Columbia that could help their players right now…

Mr. Ayo

Oh yeah, they have a ton of coffee! Espressos for everyone!

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Do they grow bananas in Colombia? Those are good for a burst of quick energy too!

Mr. Ayo

Yes, but they’re only 10th worldwide in banana production.

I also checked pickles for any cramping issues, but they’re not even in the top 15.

blaxabbath

10th total or per capita.

High per capita suggests there’s enough for the natives.

Mr. Ayo

Total, I didn’t do any deep dive on these stats

Doktor Zymm

And chocolate, a bit of caffeine along with carbs should help out!

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Xavier McDonald is from Columbia, SC if that helps

My back still hurts. No idea why I’m not self medicating with weed.

Horatio Cornblower

Maybe you are and just forgot.

blaxabbath

I need to take a break from the weed.

What’s an actual duration that is worthwhile?

Gumbygirl

I’m sure these are words in English, but they make no sense to me at all.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

That’s pretty neat that Mark Linn-Baker coaches the team from Colombia.

Dunstan

I guess Mepos didn’t make it through qualifying.

Chill road music? This song works in any playlist.
