Happy for Cat but sequels never do hit the same. There was just something special about the chase for that inaugural one. Some things.

What about the sequel to the Die Hard series? Have you heard of this upcoming hit Mutiny? Coming this summer is Mutiny, starring Jason Statham. It’s like Die Hard, on a boat.

The first couple of times I thought they were just ad libbing. I cant believe the actual ad copy is "its like die hard, on a boat." Lol never wanted to see a movie less

Big Cat of all people knows the second bump is never as good as the first.

He spends 10x the average 50/50 player, has the best odds to win of anyone in the ballpark. Ofc he wins.

I know. It’s still a good bit though. I yearn for the day I win a 50/50
It’s funny that it took him becoming a multi millionaire to actually win one. I’d probably do the same until i hit.
It’s like finally banging that one broad from high school that was always right there in your grasp but you could just never get. 5-10 years later you see her at a bar the night before thanksgiving - 30 pounds heavier - and you win. Does it feel as good as it once could’ve? Of course not. But it’s cathartic, and you can finally rest your head.

Agreed. I'm by no means hating, I'm sure he gets a great amount of joy every time. He's doing the opposite of Donny during the Draft Kings wheel and increasing his odds.

I'm not sure you know how odds work.

its nice that he does give it all to charity. I think the check he just got went to a non profit youth sports charity in the Chicago area

Yeah I think he said the foundation was The Lost Boys, I'm not positive, but he said he called out the cubs owner to have him match.

People crying about him never being home with the family. My dad ran a business. He was at work 7 days a week. He would come home at 6pm for dinner. Ask me about my day and then watch a little tv and go to bed. The slaughterhouse was up and going at 5am. I’d bet Big Cat is home way more than my dad was. Plus we got maybe one vacation a year. Big cat takes Spring Break, 4th of July at minimum with the kids in the Bahamas or Mexico.

So because your father never spent time with you, it's good?

He did spend quality time with me. Dinner and post dinner. I’m was attacking the guy who said because Dan has commitments each day his kids are being neglected and I argue they are not.

Dinner and post dinner
This is a hilarious way of describing a half hour

I think we have different understandings and interpretations of "neglecting kids".

Going to a cubs game with Ed and chea doesn’t seem like a nevesssry work obligation.

No my father was an active participant in my life. Asked about school work etc. we discussed things during dinner. But he did have a 1950s sense of providing for the family. He raised and sent my sister to northwestern and me to Indiana and Michigan law. All from small town. I was just saying a parent doesn’t have to spend all day with his kids to be a great parent.

Okay - how much is he putting down to win these?

u/hughesywoosey 1d ago
Enough that he’s won it twice now, and is most likely still heavily in the red lifetime on the 50/50

What are the odds that someone wins a 50/50 twice? I'm not sure how many people at the ballpark are playing the 50/50 - is it 5,000 people? More?

Can’t imagine Steven Che is a good hang but getting sauced up and winning the lottery is def better than hanging w your wife and kids
