Grizzlies on national TV alert: Memphis hosts Minnesota tonight at FedExForum at 8:30. The game will be televised on ESPN. The Grizzlies’ 2022-23 “Big Memphis” City Edition uniforms, celebrating our city’s connection to hip-hop, will make their debut tonight.
The big local news of the day is the change in the weather. Get those winter coats out of storage, because you’re going to need them. Today is the last day we will crack the 60-degree mark for a while, and tonight we’ll drop to the mid-30s with rain moving in after 10 PM. Read more on the MemphisWeather.net blog
This commercial cracks me up:
Medicare Martha. She reminds me of some of the people who sit at the corner table at Max’s Sports Bar.
Super excited about upcoming movie The Iron Claw. I haven’t been to a movie theater in years but I’ll go for that one. David von Erich was my favorite wrestler before he died.
Today is Veterans Day. Cheers to those who have served or are serving.
Desmond Bane got fined $15,000 by the NBA for kicking the basketball into the stands Monday night,
ABC 24 spoke to drag performer Moth Moth Moth about the ridiculously stupid bill in the Tennessee legislature that would ban public drag performances. Moth says the bill would threaten her livelihood.
Hmmm the bill bans “adult cabaret” in public… would that mean the end of burlesque at the Blind Bear too?
Play drag queen bingo while you still can at the Moxy Hotel tonight at 7. Imagene Azengrabber hosts.
Heardle is a Christmas music-themed game.
Yesterday I was told, “You should come to Max’s Saturday morning and talk trash to the Tennessee fans about losing to Georgia.” Believe me, the thought has crossed my mind. But I enjoy my Bardog Saturdays with Randy and Theresa and Butt Slut #1 to give them up at this point. Although, Butt Slut #1 may be unavailable tomorrow due to house-sitting responsibilities. Hmmm… her nickname implies the existence of a Butt Slut #2. Can we get a pinch-hitter for tomorrow?
Attn Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock: Sometime when you’re filming your TV show in Downtown Memphis, you need to come in Local on Main at lunchtime and smell-l-l-l-l-l-l-l-a. What Miss Helen. Is cooking. (eyebrow) I’ve read there’s a lot of fish in your diet. Friday is fish & chips day.
That’ll do it for now. Back tomorrow with more news.
