We had my FIL over last night for dinner and he was talking about a couple of the channels he really loves, one that I recall was "Professor of Rock", who basically has a show about rock music, interviewing rock stars, etc. And when I mentioned a guy that a coworker showed me, who is the same genre, named Rick Beato, he said "oh yeah I know him; we watch his stuff too."
Good Shows,the PoR fits perfectly in an imperfect kind of way. The type who would seam to land here

If I do something, it'll be cooking-related. Granted that is a very crowded genre on YouTube, but the more that I think about it, I think I can offer a unique voice that I don't see anyone else doing right now.
If you'd stop gargling on IPAs perhaps

I don't know if MaximumSam is old enough to remember, but there used to be a chain of record stores around Columbus called "Buzzards Nest Records" or something like that. The guy that started the store lived down the street from us. My sister would babysit for them once in a while. If it were later in the evening, I would go over with her and watch TV or something as she would be scared to be there by herself. 

In the basement, he built or had someone build, a room that was lined wall to wall with albums and photos of famous artists that he had been either at his stores or at his home. (Once his stores started doing well, he bagan to sponsor/promote rock concerts in Columbus. And now and then, he would have the artist(s) come to his home either prior to or just after the show.)

Every now that then, we would see a limo parked in the Cul-de-sac where his home was and knew it was most likely a rock star or band. I do remember seeing Bob Seager on one occasion and Paul McCartney on another. I didn't get a chance to meet them, but we would ride our bikes in the road when the limo's would arrive so we could see who it was. It was exciting as a kid I guess.

I too met Ditka. He was hammered.

So was Harry Caray.

Walter Payton was a pleasure.

Jim McMahon is a riot. Drunk as a skunk.

Lou Boudreaux was pretty cool.

Carlton Fisk was very stoic.

Pete Rose was an asshole.

I'll have to think about more. Definitely more Chicago Bears.

It was mostly when I was younger, so memory fades.
pete seems to always act like an asshole. he just can't help himself. i wonder if he'd be in the hof rn if he weren't a jerk.

I'd think the same. Man, what a jag bag he is.

It was the year of his hitting streak and was in Chicago to play the Cubs, who did not have lights for night games in 1978. My dad worked at the tracks (this one was at Maywood Park just outside of Chicago) and I went with him to work that night.

Rose was there and I went up to him and asked him for an autograph. 

He said, "Get the hell away from me kid!" I was 11 years old!

My Dad said, "I hope you go 0-4 tomorrow." He went 0-6. Asshole.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

most think Pete the cheat would be in the hall today if he had owned up to his sins and shown some remorse

I hope he never gets in
