The Daily Friday: Friday 3/7

1. SBF has interview with Tucker Carlson from prison, says that he has befriended Diddy, who has “been kind to him” in jail. My heart is full. Would watch a multi-cam CBS sitcom about them called “Friends for (25 to) Life.”

2. Stephen A signs new ESPN contract for 5 years and $100 million, makes more than Klay (fair), CP3 (justified), & Lu Dort (wrong.) Better start saving it up for medical bills after this confrontation with LeBron. He will dismember him.

3. Brother of Australian Olympic’s breakdancer Raygun charged in $100k crypto fraud. I woke my grandpa up from a coma to tell him this and he sighed so deeply his lungs collapsed. That’s just how he says “I love you and am proud of how you’ve chosen to spend your life.”

4. Chinese fast food spot Mixue has surpassed McDonald’s as world’s largest restaurant chain. Keep building these play-place goon caves and you’ll be back on top, Mickey D’s. Chills like you read about.

5. 12 finalists for video game Hall of Fame include Angry Birds, Modern Warfare, Golden Tee, Golden Eye and NBA 2k. All unanimous picks IMHO. Please add NFL Street, Clash of Clans, and Family Guy Video Game next.

NFL: Chargers cut Joey Bosa, who was the one of the 2 remaining Chargers from the San Diego era. I hope Boltman is doing ok. Love you buddy.

NBA: Jesus, how much money does Terry Rozier owe his bookie? Just decline his Venmo request and block him on Instagram like the rest of us do.

How does Steph Curry do this? He may be more efficient at half court shots than he is at stopping affordable housing in Oakland. And that’s saying something.

I need to see Charles Barkley and Kendrick Perkins have a take-off. Early odds are Barkley -500, but we’ll see if those move.

MLB: Detroit Tigers go yard on 3 straight pitches in spring training, score 6 runs in 2 minutes. Electric.

Barry Bonds says he can still hit a 100 MPH pitch at age 60. Honestly, I believe him. Legitimately think a team should sign him. I’d watch every at-bat.

SUN’S OUT, RUM’S OUT

It’s been a long winter, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We are knocking on the door of prime good weather season and I can feel it in my bones. Can you? 

When the sun finally starts to come out and the vibes start to turn up, nothing hits the spot quite like a Bacardi & Cola. The recipe is simple. Just 1.5 parts Bacardi Superior Rum, 3 parts cola, and a littleeee lime as garnish and you’re ready to rock. 

So what are you waiting for? Go find your perfect cocktail mix today. 

GIRL FRIEND GROUPS VS. GUY FRIEND GROUPS

Banger this week. So many lines will be entering my vocabulary moving forward. “She’s not a good person. She has no virtue” is an early contender for phrase of the year.

Yet another reminder to snag your ticket’s to the squad’s spring tour starting 3/27. Toronto has already sold out, but there’s still tickets for Boston, Pittsburgh and Arlington up for grabs.

WHAT ELSE IS GOOD

BALL UP TOP: Montoya saga ends with our hero leaving Temptation Island with his head held high and his ex-gf in shambles. It’s like Rocky says: life isn’t not about how hard you can hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep going. Respect.

Respect to the good people online who have been transvestigating the new Shrek. Exactly how we should all be spending our time. Unheard of level of unemployment.

Jennifer Garner has now publicly said that she has ‘no interest’ in reuniting with Ben Affleck despite his wishes. She’s just playing hard to get. Chicks are like that, trust me.

Jealous of this guy who smoked the world’s hottest pepper from a bong and went blind. Now 1) his other senses are heightened and 2) he doesn’t have to see Adrien Brody’s art. Goals.
