- Terminator: Dark Fate: November 1, 2019. Star Wars: Episode IX: December 20, 2019. Next Alien film: unknown.
- The second season of The OA is out. I’m two episodes in and digging it. In other Netflix news, the hilarious Nate Bargatze has a new hour-long special that we’re looking forward to enjoying this weekend. Check him out. He has a subdued, cerebral style that sets him apart.
- Lea and I saw a new Nissan LEAF on our walk earlier this week. I still wouldn’t call it pretty, but it’s much more attractive than the first generation was.
- The Royal Rose Diner has closed permanently. I hate to see that. I enjoyed several good meals in there. What’s the record for a restaurant at that (apparently) cursed location?
- In more positive restaurant news, the fine folks who brought you Earth and Stone Wood-Fired Pizza will soon open Clyde’s BBQ, just north of Browns Ferry on County Line in Madison. I’m hearing some tantalizing things, and I’ll probably get a preview before it officially goes live. Watch this space, as they say.
- Congratulations to Colton Herta for becoming the youngest driver ever to win an IndyCar race at Circuit of the Americas last weekend!
- Do I count four SEC teams in the Sweet 16? That’s pretty cool.

It’s possible that 2 SEC teams could meet in the finals. Now, we all know how much the country LOVES those all SEC champeeenships, huh? LOL. I’m rooting for Tiger v. Tiger.

I turned it on yesterday in time to see Auburn beat Kentucky.
Do we really, seriously, have a Final Four with no blue-bloods? That’s freakin’ awesome.
I wouldn’t say that I am friends with Nate, but I have been around him a handful of times. I’ve been on shows that he dropped in on and did a short set. Though, sometimes he would just watch. I doubt he would recognize me, but he did remember some of my bits whenever I saw him. I have a few friends that know him well. I first met him in 2010 at a local Nashville show at a pizza place. I believe he had just moved to NYC. He was a big deal in the smallish local Nashville scene. I think a lot of him personally and as a professional. It’s fun to see him succeed.
That’s cool that you’re personally acquainted with him! We enjoyed the hour-long special. He is really good, and he has something that I don’t think a lot of current comics have–clear Bob Newhart influence.
