- Last week, I may have seemed excited about Team USA’s World Cup win over Ghana, but that was because I thought it was over and we had won the World Cup. Well, news flash, there is more to the world than us and Ghana.
- This weekend I even watched an entire game of soccer-ing. It was the U.S. vs. our ancient rival Portugal, aka, Speech Impediment Spain.
“And I have some terrible news, folks. I care about soccer. (blows whistle) And that’s a foul on football. For using its hands. To grab my heart.”
Sportcaster: “It’s not happening for [Renaldo] at this World Cup. I am not sure how fit he really is.”
- Yeah, I am not sure [Renaldo] really is. I bet if he had taken off his shirt, only his female fans would have ovulated. No, I think I will take that back, I think I just dropped an egg just now.
“Any boy scout will tell you that is the proper way to slam the American flag in anger.”
See below for Stephen’s analysis of USA’s FIFA prospects. USA???
Take heart, Nation, because Team USA’s world cup hopes are still alive, because we play Group G co-leader Germany on Thursday, and these standings make one thing clear: we’re number one! As long as we beat Germany, also we could tie them, we’d still get through on points, and we can even lose, but then it comes down to math. If Portugal beats Ghana, by less than 5 goals, or Ghana beats Portugal, by less than 1 goal, then we’d advance on goal differential, they could even tie, that would still work, USA?????
- President Obama’s Iraq continues to descend into chaos. I don’t know why they elected that guy.
- Yes, we must send some air power on targets we can identify. And for some reason, all of Iraq’s good targets are already rubble.
“Loud and clear, sir. These are advisors, not combat troops. Big difference. A combat troop shoots a guy. But an advisor shoots a guy and says, ‘see, that’s how I would advise you to shoot a guy.’”
Stephen mentions here that he knows that President Obama watches TCR. Is this true?
Mark Mazzetti: Advising can mean a lot of things. Every fiber of Obama’s body is probably saying “I am not going to escalate back into Iraq.” His foreign policy legacy is “I ended the war in Iraq.” So we’re going back in. It’s hard to see to imagine right now you would see a massive escalation of military back into Iraq.
- As a millennial, I always keep up with the latest hashtag memes from the @ internet .app.
“It’s funny, because the situation there is traagaack.”
- Jeremy Meeks’ fans see him as more than just a pretty face, they believe he has the skills to turn around his life using his pretty face.
- With comments like: “Get an agent and training. I want to see you in movies.” and “He should be freed and be modelling somewhere.”
- Yes! He could be making a meaningful contribution to society, like walking back and forth on an elevated platform … looking bored about this cape.
Photoshop can help you promote the modeling careers of your favorite criminals.
- 1 out of 18 men in this country are incarcerated, and when you look at all the young lives trapped in poverty, violence, and imprisonment, you start to realize maybe it’s because they are total ugg-os.
“Watch this. Guilty! (changes mug shots) not guilty. But you know what? Still a little bit naughty.”
Stephen: How did you come up with the idea? Did you just take the saddest things you could think of and put them on pieces of paper and put it in the most depressing hat imaginable and then just pull them out and do it like magnetic poetry? Why make us cry so hard?
Stephen: How do you feel about that term young adult novel? Because as far as I can tell, a young adult novel is a regular novel that people actually read.
Stephen: Are you a cult leader? Because there are young people who would hurl themselves off a cliff for you if, at the bottom, they could dig a well in Haiti.
John: I hope you won’t mind if I answer your question with a question, which is – Are you are a cult leader?
Stephen: (Audiences chants “Stephen, Stephen”)

Stephen: I tell you what, if you have some time, come out to the compound this weekend, we’ll set you up with a child bride.
Stephen: Have you seen the movie?
John: Yeah, I’ve seen it dozens of times. I love the movie. I sneak into theatres and watch it still. It makes me really sad, I cry a lot … but it also kind of fills me up, makes me joyful to watch other people cry at something I made.
Stephen: Can you not afford a ticket to a movie? You really need to sneak in?
John: Oh no, no, I pay! I mean … sneak in, I sit in the back row. I pay for my ticket.
Stephen: I just wanted to make sure, because I know novels don’t pay what they used to.
