// Los Angeles to San Francisco
I see a sheriff's car entering the roadway and slow down. It moves behind me and flashes its lights.
Really? Goddammit.
Sheriff: Do you know how fast you were driving?
Jon: No…?
I did.
Sheriff: No?! 90 in a 65.
But everyone drives 90+ on this stretch of I-5…
Sheriff: I smell weed.
Jon: What?
Sheriff: Show me your weed.
Jon: Uhh… There is no weed in this car.
And if there was, it would be gummy and ursine.
Sheriff: Do I need to bring the dog out?
You're driving around with a weed-sni—
Jon: The dog won't find anything.
The sheriff calls his partner over.
Sheriff: I smell weed faintly. Do you smell it?
Jon: Oh, you know what? You may be smelling my air freshener. It's…sage and citrus. I didn't buy it. Someone bought it for me.
Sheriff: Can I see your vehicle registration and insurance?
I hand the sheriff my registration and insurance cards.
Sheriff: These are both expired.
Jon: What?
Shit, I didn't switch out the insurance card in my wallet.
Fuck, did I renew my registration?
Guh, how many points is this now?
Sheriff: I'm excusing your lapsed registration because DMVs have been closed. Your court appearance will be in Lamont.
Pfff! I ain't driving out to Kern County to contest a speeding ticket.
What if I received a speeding ticket while driving out to contest a speeding ticket?
Slower Sadder Less Productive
Thinking about Goldbely re-branding as Goldbelly.
Was no one spelling it with one L, like Jon with no H?
Did people think it was not a legitimate company with its seemingly misspelled name?
Was someone squatting on goldbelly.com?
Did they go with one L at first so it could be trademarked, like how WWF added a Z to Taz's name?

Pasqually's Pizza
Four Kings is half hour scripted show about four best friends who live in the penthouse of the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.
Three of them are world class poker players and the fourth is a bookie who makes the line on absolutely everything.
Together they travel the world in search of the highest stakes games with the most colorful of characters.
With a loyalty and integrity level that is rarely seen, these four best friends stick together and watch each other's backs through everything that comes their way in their search for becoming world champions.
Without a COVID-19 vaccine, Four Kings is a period piece.
Set in a post-COVID-19, pre-vaccine world, however, it could be a perverse Entourage.
Oh yeah!!
Foreign countries tracking their self-isolation for 14 days after arrival – oh yeah!!
And Jeremy Piven.
It's Just! Citric Acid. Nothing Else!
It's Friends. It's fucking Friends.
