Well I don't listen to the X music so........
I need to bring my tablet back in and go back to streaming stations elsewhere or even start streaming talk radio again.

The X has played.... ****ing ****, they're playing the Chili Peppers again. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of bands that have been played on this station, and they insist on playing the same 15 bands.

I've heard that new Struts song 3x this morning, Rise Against has been on at least twice (probably more since I was out for an hour doing upgrades), and now the Chilis will be making their third appearance. I really used to like this station too.

Pretty much every time I hear music on the X is stuff from the 90s and early 00s. Is that stuff considered alternative any more?

Growing up I remember the golden oldies stations with music from the 50s-60s...these were 20-30 year old songs in the 80s. I guess they should be playing nirvana & the spin doctors nowadays.

Hop in the car to leave work and the radio is already on 93.7 because my self-hate is well documented. Against all odds, The PM Team is not on commercial. I give them 10 seconds to hear what they’re talking about.

HOW THE **** ARE THEY STILL DEBATING CONNER V. BELL!?!?! IT’S BEEN THE SAME TOPIC FOR THREE **** WEEKS! IT’S LIKE THEY’RE CONSPIRING FOR MUELLER TO EMBARASS HIMSELF!

I'm surprised they finally let the Murray vs. Fleury debate end on these shows.

How else is Mullzy supposed to pound home his righteous indignation over Leveon Bell if they don't talk about it all day, every day?? He's on Bell's side more than anyone ever if you hadn't heard.

Mullzy is flabbergasted that you don’t affirm the ethos of Lev Bell.

Mullzy admitted yesterday he never really paid attention to the Pens before Crosby and Malkin came aboard. I can let that slide for Poni who isn’t a native Pittsburgher but it doesn’t excuse. Mullzy IMO. And he won a contest to be a sports talk radio host.

I wouldn't blame anyone for ignoring the Penguins from fall 2001 through 2004.

Not sure, but did you know that, for a limited time only, GetGo Café & Market is now offering "The Pilgrim"? Their roast turkey sub, topped with white Cheddar, cranberry sauce, and gravy on stuffing bread!

Tried it last year.. was not very good at all.

The Yard has a great take on a thanksgiving sandwich that is top notch.

Not really a fan of any of those novelty Thanksgiving items. That includes Mad Mex's "Gobblerito".

Do they know GetGo has salads too? I imagine they eat like crap when out on the road.

Cody tweeted about a medical issue October 1st and DK didn’t believe him so Cody was suspended. Something about a meeting called after that and Cody had an issue with his passport so DK decided to fire him. The personal reasons reasoning was done to make DK look good so it didn’t look like he fired another person.

If you poke around a bit more, it looks like Yohe was stirring **** on the Twitter machine.

Is it true that Yohe only publishes 2 articles a week? That's weird if true.

I'm pretty happy my subscription ended and it wasn't set to auto-renew. I actually think quality wise, the site went down the tubes even further after that exodus last year.

I'm sure I could probably move this to the restaurant thread and get a few more responses, but I never understood the hype about the gobblerito. It's turkey and a bunch of other things smashed into a burrito shell.

Yeah eff the gobblerito. I had to make these things, what a pain in the ass. On top of this these burritos are steamed. Putting and pulling burritos in and out of a industrial steamer is the absolute worst.

I wonder if he REALLY gets paid 6 figs? So let's say 100k / (52 weeks in a year * 2 articles a week) = $962/article. And how long does each article take? OK maybe there's more to the job! And maybe I'm making some assumptions.
