Thanks, Donald. Personal Nations Cup highlights: seeing you on the TV rooting with the American Outlaws for both the semifinal and the final. N

“Be excellent to one another”–how very Bill and Ted of you. I approve.

Bryan McEachern

Truly brilliant.

I like that both Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter turned out to be pretty great dudes. I like that it teaches you to value both a personal connection with history, and Eddie Van Halen. I like that we can look forward to George Carlin being an ambassador for the human race in the future. And I like that the takeaway is being excellent to each other.

Flawless movie.

TOTALLY!

Bryan McEachern

Rock the Van Halen, dudes!

For some reason not getting a fully straight answer about what channels and/or streaming services the USMNT gold cup games will be shown on, at least from my internet search, anyone know what’s up?
