4/25 and I'm only 35 years old.

An amazing singer/songwriter, a brilliant comedic actress, and a generous philanthropist beyond measure. RIP to perhaps the last American icon with virtually unanimous approval.

There goes my ability to afford to cheer on Giannis and the Heat this year in my home city.

Vice is the first movie that comes to mind. So tiresome.

I still have to check IMDb before I watch any new movie to make sure James Corden is not in it.

I haven’t seen so many ineffective crosses in Mexico since Hernán Cortés couldn’t convert the Aztecs in 1519

It’s so obviously “Kids.” Most of these other songs skew older. Like how many people born in 1994 grew up with “All My Friends?” “Kids” was both popular enough and cool enough to unite those from middle school to grad school in the late 00s.

Apt name as I often felt like praying to the Holy Spirit while trapped on their unsafe flights.

I can provide the diverse viewpoint of being a straight white man who lacks a PhD and is overly familiar with small details from random episodes of "The O.C."

The idea that any NBA player should stop themselves from surpassing 81 points in honor of Kobe Bryant is maybe the most legitimately insane sports take I've ever seen

Announcing a new "Savesies" Standard for Philly: It is OK to reserve dug-out parking spots with cones/chairs as long as Philadelphia Public Schools are closed/virtual. The day that they are back in-person, life moves on. Street parking is now a public good. Saving parking spots is unethical.

I’m sure it’s good, but I believe I will be able to stop making it. I need to sleep, work, take care of my cats. Won’t be constantly in kitchen making batches of scallion shrimp and crispy rice.

My 8th grade Geometry teacher wanted to show us the "funniest movie he had seen in a while" after a hard test. That film was White Chicks. Unbelievable.

Definitive guy. Like a 6 year period where he was around the 75th best player in MLB.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

It's easy to mock, but having seen all of them, I actually have F1 at #6 on my Best Picture Rankings. Very good crowdpleaser with incredibly exciting racing scenes.

You could say that performance stands tall even in the great ensemble. I gently kid. Great movie.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Dum Dum Girls were a great band. One of the best indie rock bands of the late 00s/early 10s. Forgot about their Smiths cover. #xpncountdown

Britney Spears' take on "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is both (1) not my thing and (2) exactly the kind of curveball I want during a one vote wonders morning show. #xpncountdown

Faith No More's "Easy" was definitely an 11 for me. Unexpected, offbeat, but not mocking. #xpncountdown

The placement of Marvin Gaye's version of "I Heard it Through the Grapevine" at 149 is shocking. People must not know it's a cover. Using that logic, I think Aretha's "Respect" misses the top 25. #xpncountdown #possiblyfoolishprediction

It may be a cover, but "Sloop John B" is great proof of Brian Wilson's genius as an arranger and producer. RIP. #xpncountdown
