Sturgill Simpson tested positive for coronavirus - a month after he showed symptoms, because his doctor didn’t think he showed enough symptoms or something.

If you do some digging, you'll find prices that aren't super outrageous or anything. I've found quite a few that are from good ranked sellers for around $70(ish).

Conrad's podcast covering the Brawl For All is a pretty fun listen. Apparently this was supposed to be a Season 1 episode, but VICE cut the episode order back down to 6 (or whatever it was). Bruce Prichard was going to be a part of this I guess, but when it came time to film S2 stuff, he was back in WWE. And they also say that The Rock told Bart Gunn's son to convince his dad to do the episode, since he was an extra on Ballers and introduced himself to Rock (as Bart's son), and told him that he was thinking about doing something for Dark Side of the Ring. I didn't know Rock was a fan, but I guess he's made it publicly known before or something. They also got super high and drunk with The Godfather at his strip club the night before his interview.

I’m right there with ya, buddy. I turned down an overtime shift when all this hit the fan a few weeks ago, and from what I hear I was made fun of for it since I told them I wasn’t comfortable even working my shift right now, much less covering for someone else when there’s nobody at work to begin with (so the other guy should be okay to work alone - like I am this weekend!) Good to hear you know some people that got their stimulus checks. Maybe this all isn’t bullshit after all.

You know what’s dumb? Being an essential worker for an automotive plant, when the only other bodies here are security guards. I have to do inventory all weekend, and that’s it. Know what I’m going to do when I get that done in, like, 5 hours? Play Switch and watch Hulu. So dumb. I’m grateful I haven’t been furloughed like the production/assembly workers, but... fuck. This is pointless.

Yeah direct deposit supposedly started on Thursday. I mean, I haven't gotten anything, and I'd be shocked if I did get anything from now until the 20th. I'm within the threshold for the payments, but, man... I just don't have faith in this. I'm waiting to be proven wrong.

You mean direct deposits, right? Supposedly the physical checks for people that won't/haven't/aren't going to provide the IRS with their bank details will be the last ones to get this. I love that this is a one-time payment, too. We've got to pass another massive spending bill to get another check, I guess. Out of that $2 trillion, I think the American people only saw something like $250 billion of it or something like that. 'Murica. (No, I don't trust the government, R or D, to roll out a project like this, but it'd be great if it happened since I could use $1200)

I'm so upset right now. I just need to kill and skin a hare so I can get the hunting & fishing trophy in Far Cry 5... but I can't find a hare for the life of me in the hunting spots. I even get Boomer to be my companion, and nothing. Ugh.

DDP didn't want Jake back in the house due to coronavirus, and Jake says a baby is staying at the house now too so that's an added factor as well.

AEW is basically there - they have enough content to last them until May 20th, supposedly.

If these guys and gals are going to keep going through the motions during their entrance like a live crowd is there (taunting, climbing the turnbuckles, etc) then at least put wrestlers in the crowd 6ft apart or whatever. It comes off as really weird watching Tegan Nox do her poses and shit to an empty arena, facing the hard cam. Ladder matches in front of a crowd of absolutely 0 people are dumb ideas. Don't do it. This would have been a fine 6 way elimination match or something. On a positive note, though, I'm glad Io Shirai won. I'll watch the fuck out of Io vs Charlotte. I watched up until that tag team match with the guys Malcolm Bivens is managing. Then I got bored and played Far Cry 5 instead.

I need to know if you stayed until Part 8.

Yeah, I'm aware of that, what's airing now is from the Nightmare Factory. Except Dark, which this week was from Daily's Place. Which is what I mean - he could have filmed stuff that first week to air at a later date, but I'm aware the bulk of their in-the-can stuff is from Week 2 at Daily's and last week at the Nightmare Factory.

I didn't even think that was Hikaru Shida's best AEW match, let alone the best women's match so far in AEW's history. It didn't seem to really even pick up and get terribly interesting until the final 5(ish) minutes or so. That might just be me, though.

They were taping stuff at that first Daily's Place show.

Cody Rhodes is really good at professional wrestling.

While we're talking about Brawl For All, apparently Vince wanted to do another one in 2010 with the original NXT cast. We got robbed of Daniel Bryan in a shoot fight against Heath Slater.

Pretty sure the ladder match tonight is to crown a #1 contender.

Hey, whoa, now is not the time to talk about ratings! All jokes aside, I rather watch a Michael Nakazawa match. But, I do have NXT on record tonight, because I love their women's division and that ladder match has crazy potential.

I’m just going to sleep all day and forget about this for the next four years, personally.

FWIW Meltzer says he spoke to someone in NXT who would know about Rhea's situation, and they denied it. But who knows.

Today fucking sucks, from a standpoint of (insert topic we can't discuss here).

Hangman was at the Daily’s Place tapings, which is where they filmed the Moxley/Hager match that’s going to air next week (and where the matches from Dark this week came from). It’s entirely possible they filmed stuff with Hangman at those shows.

The latest Dark was from Daily's Place, though.
