May The Bridges I Burn Light The Way: The Time I Accosted Billy Zane On A Miami Street Corner "Billy Zane!" This is me last April on the streets of Miami, yelling Billy Zane's name to Billy Zane. I have no doubt – at least for a brief moment, or longer, or forever – Billy Zane thought I was a ...

(This is for paid subscribers only. If that is you, again, thank you. Your reward is a story about me embarrassing myself in front of Billy Zane. And Billy Zane saying something I found both deeply funny and profound)

I forgot I stopped updating. Friday we were told “no good.” He stayed at the hospital until Monday. We finally took him home. Like Maverick he said, “not today.”

Love this interview, despite it touching on things that haven’t hit the airwaves yet.

Feel like HBO (and the show) would’ve been better served by putting a couple out there at the start

I’d say one burger. Maybe.

Is Kevin Jonas The Reason Donald Trump Is President? This originally published on April 11, 2018 on Uproxx, but was deleted from the internet. A couple of interesting things happened after this published. I've never experienced a reaction to a piece qui...

Initially, “Is Kevin Jonas The Reason Donald Trump Is President?” was met with scorn, until people read it. I stand by this! And I watched way too many Celebrity Apprentice clips to have it erased from the internet. Now it’s back, with added commentary

Also a weird thing, about two hours after this originally published, Kevin Jonas followed me on Twitter. I remember being like, “uh oh”

If someone wants to pay me to do this I would be very happy to get every answer from multiple perspectives.
