Great Lines: Podcast Edition
Sup everyone. Muneer here.
- This newsletter is going to be all the great lines and zingers from things I read on the Web. As most of you know, I read a lot. Probably more than I should.
- The links aren’t necessarily timely. I read a lot of old stuff. I’m not up with the times.
- And in the course of reading, I often see lines that are hilarious or beautiful.
- I will bring those to you in this space.
It’s been hard to focus enough to read anything, so I bring you some podcast episodes that you can listen to:
You bulljivin’ me?- Shannon Sharpe on All the Smoke (link)
If you’re 30 and you have a crew, a squad, or a tribe, you’re mentally ill.- Ali Segel on 90 Day Fiance Slumber Party (link)

And a gentleman came up to me and actually thanked me for the adopt a street light program. He had just written a check to the city for $300 to turn all the street lights back on in his neighborhood. And I did remind him that for $200 if he had supported the tax initiative, we could have had not only streetlights, but parks and firemen and swimming pools and community centers. That by combining our resources, we as a community can actually accomplish more than we as individuals.
Robert Smith
And he said?
Jan Martin
He said he would never support a tax increase.
Robert Smith
So for him it wasn’t the money. He was willing to pay more to turn on the street lights than to pay for all city services.
