Kriegs or someone has brought him up before. Kriegs and Smithers.
Podcast thread.
Which one? The host or the guest? I am assuming the former but wanted to check.
I'd never heard either before so I'm experiencing them as a duo.

A new release from Hezbollah. Is Valieva allowed to compete in this?

Like Josh Barnett's T-Shirt, for a while thought its a metal band I have never heard about (and that can hardly happen
).
Moreover, just checked his
list of "10 albums that changed my life" and there is Sepultura - Arise (1991). That's some real stuff that influenced my teenage years a lot.
PS. rarely there is a thread I cannot derail

My English students in Moscow were heavily into Sepultura. I had never heard of them until they mentioned the band. This was 1994.

Of course. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend any Sepultura concert as their original lineup (with Cavalera brothers) broke at some point late 90s. Though have been on couple of Soulfly concerts afterwards (with Max Cavalera as lead singer/guitar) and they played quite some Sepultura songs...
By the way, as you said Moscow - this one is monstrous - Monsters of Rock - Pantera performing live at Moscow '91 :

Oh, Philip Baker Hall from Magnolia! Funny, I don’t think I ever saw that episode of Seinfeld. I thought I’d seen them all.

+1 more. Thanks Hal.
Question: I noticed the props appeared to be very slowly rotating in most of the video (except for the initial rev up after starting the engines). Is this due to shutter speed of the camera doing the filming being almost in sync with the rotation of the propellers while the B-29 was flying?
Good to see probably best bomber of WWII with probably the best fighter alongside.

most likely not the right fit for this group, but Arcane on Netflix turned out to be a damn good show (9 episodes, 40 minutes each).
IMHO this fight scene (late in the series) is the highlight of the show. For context, they knew each other as kids, but have gone seperate ways.
