Let’s get Wednesday rolling with a fresh new edition of Screencaps, wildfire smoke working its way south out of Canada and my brain questioning if I’m being a little too strict with the pool behavior of Screencaps Jr.’s friends.
But, first, let’s get started with our World Cup friend Freddy who was in Tennessee on Tuesday to watch France-Spain and shoot guns with some red-blooded Americans who showed the German how we celebrate freedom on our turf.
Simple: by blowing s–t up.
INTERNET TRIES TO DUNK ON GERMAN SUPER FAN FREDDY AFTER DISCOVERING HE’S BEEN TO AMERICA BEFORE
It’s good to see Freddy back to doing what he does best on Twitter – showing the Real America that the coastal LIBS absolutely despise. And his numbers are back to being through the roof. Nearly 1M people have now seen the video of the Tennessee guys unloading some serious weaponry.
The video of the Tennessee homeowner’s gun collection is over 1.1M views and there’s nothing the scumbag LIBS who ran him off Twitter two weeks ago can do about it.

This is something that we’re starting to deal with on a fairly regular basis at this point. We’ve tried to let Screencaps Jr. have some leash this summer because boys want to be boys, but as time goes on, it feels like there’s a quickly declining level of respect for the pool and the rules we’ve set for some of the 13-year-olds who show up and want to act like maniacs.
Screencaps Jr. is starting to say that we’re embarrassing him by telling the friends to knock it off.
I’m sure many of you guys have been down this road. Did you ever have a problem telling one of the boys you’ve coached in baseball, or who has spent the night at your house multiple times, to stop being an idiot in your pool or on your property?
I remember random parents having no problem telling me to stop being an idiot when I was 13. I thought this was basic parenting. I thought this was part of the “it takes a village” saying.
And, as for the kid who told Screencaps Jr. that the next pool party is at his house because there won’t be any rules is welcome to have the next party. Have at it, chief.
Tell me your past experiences: joe.kinsey@outkick.com
– Nick asks: Do you think the MLB All-Star Game should stop having fans select the starters, or are you OK with it? Personally, it always bothered me even as a kid that that some players got voted in because of reputation, and not what kind of season they were having. See Ken Griffey Jr., Cal Ripken Jr., Ozzie Smith, etc., on the downsides of their careers. But that’s me.
Kinsey: Not only should fans be allowed to vote in the all-stars, they should have to use those paper ballots like we all got at games back in the 1980s and early 90s. I remember smuggling 40 or 50 of those ballots out of Riverfront Stadium thinking I was going to rig the ASG for Barry Larkin.
– Mike T. in Idaho writes: 41% of American men under 30 believe they could score on a penalty kick at the World Cup if given the chance. Chance of that happing at World Cup level play .00001.
Kinsey: I am in the 41% camp. We’re talking about a 12-yard kick. It’s actually achievable based on the distance. Is a guy going to go to the plate and get a hit off a 98 mph fastball? No chance. Could I put a foot on a ball from 12 yards out against a 6-foot-6 goalkeeper? Yes. It doesn’t mean I’m going to make the shot, but I can make contact and give myself a chance. The first part of the act is easily achievable.
The world of dynamic pricing has made its way to bowling alleys
Just when you thought Big Private Equity hadn’t thought of everything, it turns out they’re using dynamic pricing for lanes on Saturday nights when you used to pay the same price as on a Tuesday night.
If you have a mom and pop lane in your town, you better go support that business before some PE bro swoops in and turns it into an operation where you have to have an app to rent lanes.
– Justin in Sherwood Park, Alberta explains: Even though there’s a sh-tpile of land up here & you’d think we’d have lots of space between our neighbours, all of the cities are run by rabid tax & spend leftists who want to impose their will on us regular folk. My house was built in 1990, so we have decent space between us & next door, but the new areas are brutal – only 8′ is required between lots now. Zoning & building regulations have changed over the past few years to allow this, driven by developers who want to squeeze more houses into the area.
It also doesn’t help that elected officials & bureaucrats all share the same brain: I swear that they went to Amsterdam once, saw all the bikes & tiny houses, & said “this is what we need back in Canada”. So now we get to enjoy a bunch of infill housing (where one house is torn down & two skinny houses are built on the same footprint) & bike lanes (seriously – in Edmonton, they’ve spent millions on converting vehicle lanes into bike lanes in a city that experiences winter for 6 months a year).
Don’t even get me started on the electric bus debacle, where they spent tons of money on electric buses, discovered that they don’t work so well in the cold, spent tons more on battery blankets to keep them warm, discovered that they didn’t work either, then had to mothball the whole fleet when the supplier went bankrupt…

And with that email, my work here is done today. I need to hear from the pool owners. Do you allow teens to turn your pool into Panama Beach 1989 or do you expect them to have some sense? I’m trying to find some balance here.
Let’s go have a great day.
