MAGA beauty Margo Martin had booing Knicks fans sweating, Sophie Cunningham hits the gym & old-school MLB!

The second Hunchback Day of June. The First Lady has a birthday today (my wife, not Melania). It’s been raining all day, so the kids are stuck inside and I’m staring down the barrel of not one, not two, but three meetings this afternoon.

Today I feel like I’m in a pressure cooker. There are a lot of balls in the air. There’s a lot at stake. I’m woefully unprepared for this birthday because I spent all day yesterday putting out fires, which means we need to work hard in this lesson so I can get it together before spending the night on the couch.

But that’s what patriots do. Your back is against the wall, you’re running out of time, is your season in jeopardy? Will we melt under the pressure, or will we get to the table and get the job done?

Hit! Let’s roll.

Welcome to Hump Day Nightcaps, where MAGA beauty Margo Martin delivers a dominant performance at Madison Square Garden for Game 3 despite the Knicks coming up short.

What else? Dalton Rushing channels the 1980s for the Dodgers, Blue Apron joins HelloFresh to shove Pride Month down our throats (go ahead, joke), and Sophie Cunningham works in the elevator before an unreal pass to Caitlin Clark results in this week’s buzzer beater.

What a RUN for the best thing in the WNBA right now…and I’m not talking about Caitlin!

OK, let’s get to the point. I’m running out of time. Buy you a black cow national Black Cow Day, and get ready for the Hump Day ‘Cap’!

Margo Martin powers through the evil boo birds at MSG

For those who don’t know (raised hand), the Black Cow is essentially a root beer float. True story, apparently. Sources tell me that the original drink was created in 1893 by a man named Frank J. Wisner from Cripple Creek, Colorado.

And what I mean by “resources” nationaldaycalendar.com:

As the story goes, one night he found himself staring out the window, thinking about the soda line he was producing for the citizens of Cripple Creek. Suddenly an idea came to his mind. As he looked out the window, he noticed the full moon shining on the snow-covered Cow Mountain. It reminded him of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. He hurried back to his bar and added a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream to his Myers Avenue Red Root Beer, the kids’ favorite soda flavor.

When he tasted it, he realized that it was successful. Wisner named the new creature Black Cow Mountain, but local children shortened the name to Black Cow..

Thanks Ed_thetrophyurty! I’ve never seen someone dive into the X’s and O’s of root beer this much, but I appreciate it.

And this class is now smarter for it!

Okay, we’ve been fooling around enough. Let’s kick off this show with Trump aide Margo Martin heading to MSG:

Dalton Rushing takes us back in time

It’s nice to see Margo isn’t affected by all the nasty boo birds! And by the way, you’ll be stunned when you find out what the usual suspects are lying about. Actually It happened before the 3rd game.

Strange!

No, Rachel. Trump was not booed any louder than the opposing team. What kind of world do we live in here? Imagine blatantly lying about something you knew there would be visual evidence.

Damn, someone was at the scene of OutKick! Dan Z. was there and confirmed that although the chants drowned out the chants, it was nothing compared to when the Spurs were introduced.

So why let facts get in the way of solid virtue signaling? God knows that side has never been stopped before.

Very predictable. It’s so pathetic.

Anyway, that’s enough NBA talk for today. Let’s head to the diamond and check in with Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing, who I’m pretty sure everyone hates:

Sophie’s choice and add Blue Apron to the list!

Juuuuuuuuuuust! a little out there! Incredible slide from Rushing. The man doesn’t even try to hide it. Closer to the outfield grass than to the actual base!

This is how the game used to be played, you know? Back when baseball was a proper game. But then Chase Utley tried to split Mets shortstop Rubén Tejada in the 2015 NLDS and all hell broke loose:

Unbelievable. That slide brought this This, From MLB:

Rule 6.01(j), called the “Chase Utley slide rule,” is clarified as follows: Major League Baseball. In the process, the rule was made more applicable.

Under new Rule 6.01(j), a runner will be required to make a “bona fide slide”; This is defined as making contact with the ground before reaching base, being able to reach and attempt to reach base with hand or foot, being able and attempting to stay on base at the conclusion of the slide (except at home plate), and not changing path in order to initiate contact with a fielder.

Yes. It’s hard to defend Dalton after reading this. It’s pretty cut and dried. Oh good. They don’t make them like they used to!

What a great game we played.

Okay, let’s quickly turn this big Hump Day class into a bigger Hump Day Night. First?

We talked about assholes on Monday after the disgusting Pride Month ad campaign at HelloFresh went viral. I don’t want to repeat it so check it out here.

Anyway, you can all add Blue Apron to the list!

Oh my god. These people are just CORPORATE. Probably a good sign that we should all stick to cooking for ourselves.

By the way, I smoked a few racks of ribs yesterday. For those who want to try it this weekend, the 3-2-1 method always works.

At 225 it took three hours to unpack.

Completed in two hours 225.

It opened for another hour at 225.

And no, I did not remove the membrane beforehand. This is the biggest scam in America next to home insurance.

OK, that’s it for today. Good work everyone. Sophie Cunningham hit the gym this week before feeding Caitlin Clark an absolute MISSILE for the game-winner on Monday night, and it was the most American thing I’ve ever seen.

See you tomorrow.
