How ‘Parks & Rec’ Predicted the Chicago Cubs Winning The World Series

To many people residing in the city of Chicago, today is the best day of their lives. That is because their historically “cursed” baseball team, the Chicago Cubs, won the World Series last night against the Cleveland Indians.

That Game 7 featuring between the Cubs and Indians was truly one of the most dramatic and legendary baseball games ever played. That the Chicago Cubs roared back from a 3-1 deficit, against a team whose hometown basketball team achieved a similar feat against Golden State, but still almost lost, was absolute bonkers. And that’s not even mentioning Bill Murray was there.

However, in the minds of one television program, this outcome was pre-destined. While Parks & Rec has been off the air since 2015, it’s still delivering gems to viewers years later. The show’s final season was set in 2017, and one scene features Tom and Andy visiting Lucy in Chicago. She casually mentions that “everyone’s in a really great mood now because of the Chicago Cubs winning the Series.”

Now Parks & Rec showrunner Mike Schur is a man who knows his baseball. He used to write the cult-favorite baseball blog Fire Joe Morgan, along with fellow TV writers Alan Yang and Dave King. And as Schur explained to the Washington Post, the Cubs winning wasn’t a throwaway line, but rather, an honest prediction.

“As soon as we decided to throw the last season of ‘Parks and Rec’ into the future, into 2017, we sort of started calculating what the world might be like […]I was the only person on the staff who cared about baseball enough to track the Cubs’ minor league system,” Schur said.

While it’s still rather remarkable that Schur had the gusto to add such a prediction for a team with a 108-year curse, he’s not eager to take any credit for it.

“It’s not like I was only person who thought the Cubs were going to be good,” he said. “Every baseball writer in America knew the Cubs were going to be good. I can’t emphasize enough how little credit I feel like I should take for that prediction.”

WATCH: Bill Murray Interviews Chicago Cubs Players After Last Night’s Amazing World Series Win

As we all know by now, Bill Murray is a diehard Cubs fan and one of the funniest people alive, which made him the perfect person to interview Cubs players and executives during the drunken, raucous celebration the followed last night’s exhausting Game 7 win.

“Is there anyone you want to say hello to that you haven’t thought about lately?” Murray asked Theo Epstein, the team’s legendary President of Baseball of Operations.

“Yeah, you,” Epstein responded, before uncorking a bottle of champagne and spraying the Ghostbusters star in the face. “Yeah, Bill! We just won the World Series!”

“Oh, it does burn,” Murray said, wiping the booze from his face. “It’s a good burn. It’s a good burn. I guess this means I get a 10-day tryout now.”

He ended the interview by thanking Epstein, who assembled the championship team: “My father thanks you, my mother thanks you, my sisters thank you, my brothers thank you, and I thank you.”

Later, Murray spoke with Cubs center fielder Dexter Fowler. “You gotta pace yourself,” he advised the young player as Fowler drank champagne. “You’re going to be doing this for years. You don’t want to start drinking too early.”

“Bill, we do it for fans like you,” Fowler said. “Y’all been fans for your whole life.”

“My whole life,” Murray said. “I’ve been a Cubs fan longer than you’ve been growing that beard. It looks fantastic…I’m going to let my beard grow from now on. I want to look more and more like you.”

“I want to look like you when I grow up,” Fowler replied.

And Murray also praised right fielder Jason Heyward, who’s been in a season long slump.

“The catch off the wall? You should have a bobblehead made of that, where you’re hanging on the wall and you’re head is just bobbling.”

Finally, someone interviewed Murray about the win. “It means a huge weight has been lifted,” he said. “All this effort, the wishing and hoping that they’d win, and now it comes true. It’s wonderful, it’s fantastic. You believe in something and it actually comes true…The great thing about it is we became such great losers. Good sports, good losers. I hope we’re good winners.”

He then finished his champagne and turned back to the reporter with the empty bottle: “Do you recycle?”

Why Our Doctor Wants You To Vote For Legal Marijuana

Why Our Doctor Wants You To Vote For Legal Marijuana

Four states have a referendum legalizing adult use of cannabis on the ballot this year. Five other states have initiatives for medical marijuana programs. What does legal marijuana mean for you?

As a licensed urologist, I encourage the voting for and passing of these referendums.

My reasoning for this is that I feel there is a place for legal marijuana in the arsenal of wellness and health. We have 25 states and Washington D.C. where it has been legalized in some form or another. The addition of other states will put pressure on the federal government to legalize the use of legal marijuana.

Why is a federal mandate important?

Right now, it is illegal for a medical practitioner to prescribe cannabis by federal law. It falls under the same jurisdiction as the prescription of heroin. By prescribing this, licensed medical doctors can have their DEA license revoked. A DEA license is earned through many years of hard work and few physicians want to lose this license.

Therefore, few practicing physicians try to fit the study of the properties and use of cannabis into their knowledge base. Most gain knowledge from anecdotal stories from their patients.

My experience is that patients who have good effects are happy to discuss the use of medical marijuana with their physician if they trust that the physician will not stigmatize them for use. Those patients who have no effects, an adverse effect or worry about their physician’s thoughts on the matter will probably not discuss this with their physician.

The anecdotal stories can be over-weighted on the positive side or not discussed at all. Most physicians prefer properly studied peer reviewed articles about the merits and potential side effects of drugs before they will prescribe them and risk the health of their patients.

A federal law allowing medical marijuana would have a significant effect on the proper use of cannabis. This would encourage pharmaceutical companies to study the drug and would allow for peer reviewed articles about it’s use. Our knowledge base would significantly increase to allow us to use this on a more scientific rather than anecdotal basis. There would be less of a stigma regarding physicians who prescribe it and patients who use it.

So now it is up to us, the people of the United States to take a stand. Medical marijuana is not going away. Vote yes to increase our knowledge and awareness.

An Open Letter To Anthony Bourdain And His Hatred Of Craft Beer

Anthony Bourdain, chef and author of the famed memoir, Kitchen Confidential, was recently interviewed by Thrillist about a myriad of topics, from food to craft beer. Bourdain took the time in this interview to describe his hatred of beer culture. As a longtime bartender and lover of beer, here is my rage response:

Dear Anthony Bourdain,

I read today you don’t like craft breweries. That one afternoon in San Francisco, you were “desperate” for a beer and you walked into a bar and couldn’t get the pint you were looking for. (It’s highly unlikely, by the way, that the bar wouldn’t have a cold pilsner or lager, but whatever). You were disgusted by the folks talking about and drinking different shades of craft beers as if they were diners talking over the traits of their appetizers. Let me jog your memory.

I walked into this place…and I noticed there was a wide selection of beers I’d never heard of, which is fine. But I looked around: the entire place was filled with people sitting there with five small glasses in front of them, filled with different beers, taking notes. This is not a bar. This is f—ing Invasion of the Body Snatchers. This is wrong. This is not what a bar is about.

People in bars. Taking notes and inspecting samples of beer. Discerning flavor and composition and complexity of something they’ll soon consume with their bodies.

I’m sorry, did I miss something? THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING WITH FOOD. Except in this case, the bar was down the block from whatever hotel you were staying at and not in a restaurant in some developing nation that you could exploit on television.

Over the years, Tony, you’ve become as well known for your criticism of other people as you have for your food. And the brewers and drinkers of craft beer have caught your eye now. Why? Because you would rather stumble into a dank, depressive bar — bars with patrons slung over the last bit of beer holding out hope someone will buy them one more shot. That’s your history, right? Drinking for depravity. That’s always been your thing. Lights low, so no one can see what you’re doing. You don’t want a room full of people articulating what they enjoy about a glass of something under warm lights. Well, not unless it’s something over which you can purport mastery.

And I get it. Craft beer is bougie. There is room to criticize, but not by you, Tony. Not by a scam artist. You appropriate culture and you’ve made gobs of money doing it. You bring cameras and artificial lights to fisherman docks in Vietnam, to noodle houses in Cambodia, to farms in Mexico and then take what these workers have made and put your name on it. You’re a cancer. You give back nothing.

And when you can’t get a cheap glass of cold piss beer to wash down your hip flask, you throw a tantrum. You go on a national platform and tell people craft breweries are turning people into zombies? Homie, you literally look like a zombie.

I’ve been a bartender in a beer bar for over six years and I’ve written about beer for the last two. Beer evokes fantasy and image, history and conversation. It’s one of civilization’s oldest creations and is experiencing a renaissance. And this new plethora is often digested in public. Deal with it.

If you walked into my pub tomorrow, I’d ask you to leave. I’ve always had this feeling you were an untrustworthy hypocrite, from your pithy east coast affect to this latest nonsense. So, Tony, I choose to raise a glass to you out of the goodness of my heart. Wherever you travel to next, I hope you learn a real lesson.

Cheers, Tony.

What The Marijuana Measures On The Ballot Mean: Nevada, Arkansas, Florida

Nine states have marijuana measures on the ballot this November. Here’s a look at the ballots in Nevada, Arkansas and Florida and what the props mean to you.

Nevada: Recreational Marijuana

Nevada voters will see Question 2 on their ballots next week. Nevada has legalized medical marijuana, and decriminalized the substance, but Question 2 would legalize certain amounts of the substance for adults over the age of 21.

Question 2 would legalize the purchase and consumption of one ounce of marijuana or less, or ⅛ of an ounce of “concentrated” marijuana and adults could grow up to six plants, as long as they cultivate them in an “enclosed area with a lock.” The Nevada Department of Taxation would regulate the sale of recreational marijuana, and cultivation facilities would be subject to a 15 percent excise tax.

There’s been a range of polling on Question 2–some polls make it seem likely that voters will resoundingly vote “yes,” others make it look like the vote will be closer. Nevada is a state to keep an eye on the night of November 8. For more information on the state of marijuana legalization in Nevada, click here.

Arkansas: Medical Marijuana

Arkansas voters will weigh Issue 6 on November 8. A similar measure appeared on the ballot in 2012, but it was defeated by a slim margin. Originally, there were two competing measures on the ballot for medical marijuana–there was also one called Issue 7–but it was stricken from the ballot on October 27 due to invalid signatures. While it will still technically appear on the already-printed ballots, votes for it will not count.

Issue 6 would legalize marijuana for 17 qualifying medical conditions. It would also set up a Medical Marijuana Commission to regulate the implementation of medical marijuana in the state. Tax revenue would be used to cover costs of the program, and then designated percentages would go to the General Fund, vocational training programs, the Department of Health, and other specific departments.

Recent polling doesn’t look too great for the supporters of medical marijuana in the state, and it seems unlikely at this point that Issue 6 will pass. For more information on the state of marijuana legalization in Arkansas, click here.

Florida: Medical Marijuana

Floridians will be voting on Amendment 2, which aims to legalize medical marijuana for specific debilitating diseases and other conditions approved by licensed physicians. A similar measure was defeated by voters in 2014, but supporters of Amendment 2 hope that this measure clarifies some deficiencies in the 2014 measure that caused it to be defeated.

Amendment 2 would explicitly legalize medical marijuana for approximately 10 diseases, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, and Parkinson’s disease, among others. Doctors would be able to certify other patients who have similarly debilitating conditions to the diseases already specified. Because this is an amendment to Florida’s constitution, it requires a supermajority of 60 percent of voters to pass.

Recent polling shows strong support for Amendment 2, above the 60 percent threshold. For more information on the state of marijuana legalization in Florida, click here.

What The Marijuana Measures On The Ballot Mean: Montana and North Dakota

Nine states have marijuana measures on the ballot this November. Here’s a look at the ballots in Montana and North Dakota and what the props mean to you.

Montana

Montana voters will see I-82 on their ballots, the latest step in a long fight over medical marijuana in Montana. While medical marijuana is legal in Montana, I-82 will ask voters whether or not the current three-patient limit on dispensaries, as well as a few other restrictions on the law, should be repealed.

In 2004, Montana legalized medical marijuana via a ballot measure. But in 2011, the Montana legislature passed a bill that limited dispensaries to three patients each, as well as limiting advertisements and requiring a state review of doctors who prescribed medical marijuana to more than 25 patients in a year. There was a long court battle over the new legislation, and it finally went into effect in August. I-82 would roll back that legislation and open up dispensaries to more than three patients, change the restrictions on doctors, and expand who qualifies to be prescribed medical marijuana.

Given recent polling, it looks very unlikely that a majority of voters in Montana will vote in favor of I-82. For more information on the state of marijuana legalization in Montana, click here.

North Dakota

North Dakota voters will vote on Initiated Statutory Measure 5. A “yes” vote on the measure would support legalizing marijuana for designated debilitating medical conditions. North Dakota has also tried to put medical marijuana on the ballot before, but failed in 2012 when some of the required signatures were determined to be illegitimate.

Under North Dakota’s medical marijuana law, conditions that would qualify include cancer, HIV/AIDS, epilepsy, among others. Patients would also be able to petition for more conditions to be added to the list. Initiated Statutory Measure 5 would also set up certain mechanisms for the regulation of medical marijuana in the state.

Unfortunately, there does not appear to have been polling on Measure 5 in North Dakota, so it’s difficult to tell how this vote will go. But polls from 2014 do indicate that voters were in favor of medical marijuana by a slight margin. For more information on the state of marijuana legalization in North Dakota, click here.

Eddie Redmayne Goes Super Method, Becomes An Animal

Eddie Redmayne Goes Super Method, Becomes An Animal

Maybe you’re the type of person still pondering if Eddie Redmayne is in fact a Great Actor. Like, you recognize he’s talented and theatrical—he is British, after all—but question his accepted greatness.

You perhaps were one of those aghast, jaw-dropped, googling the legal definition of “robbery” people when Redmayne won a 2015 Oscar for The Theory of Everything. You thought, cool capital-A Acting there, dude, contorting your body, really going for the role of Stephen Hawking, but you also saw Birdman, which means you saw Michael Keaton in Birdman, which means you screamed “How did Batman lose to fucking that?” while watching the 87th Academy Awards.

Maybe, just maybe, you’re the kind of person who lies awake during those nights insomnia attacks, watching the fan spinning round and round, wondering, “What the hell was Eddie doing in Jupiter Ascending? Was than an accent? Did he go 110% Method? Should anyone go that Method? In a movie where Channing Tatum dressed up as a space-skating, trendy L.A. hipster elf—like an actual elf—you were the strange one, Eddie. How? Why? What happened? Are you a Great Actor or are we supposed to just think you’re one?”

And this theory of yours—that Eddie Redmayne as force-of-nature Actor narrative is being forced upon us—was only bolstered when you watched The Danish Girl, a movie tugging your coattails, begging, just begging you “take it seriously.” That year, when random strangers inquired “What is Oscar Bait?” you showed them that picture of Eddie Redmayne you have saved on your phone for such situations.

But they say Great Actors need Great Directors to unlock that thing deep inside them. This week, something miraculous happened for Eddie Redmayne: he met Ellen Degeneres. Yes, many dismiss Degeneres because of her stage—daytime television—but her sandbox consistently uncovers talents in celebrities they never knew they had. For Redmayne that talent was simple: dude can nail a damn animal impression.

So for those Eddie Redmayne doubters, send a huge thank you to Ellen Degeneres. Because now we know: Eddie Redmayne is the Greatest Actor of our generation.

What The Marijuana Measures On The Ballot Mean: Arizona, Maine, Calif. and Mass.

Nine states have marijuana measures on the ballot this November. Here’s a look at the ballots in Arizona, California, Maine and Massachusetts, and what the props look like.

Arizona

Arizona has Proposition 205 on the ballot. Arizona will ask its residents to vote on whether or not to legalize recreational marijuana for adults in the state over the age of 21. Medical marijuana is already legal in Arizona, but under the current state laws, essentially any possession of recreational marijuana is treated as a felony, and the legalization of recreational marijuana would be a big change.

Proposition 205 would allow individuals over 21 to possess less than one ounce of marijuana, and grow up six plants in their homes. The sale and cultivation of marijuana, as well as the enforcement of the new provisions, would be regulated by a newly established Department of Marijuana Licenses and Control. Use in public, use by a minor, and possession over the allowed limits would still be illegal. Additionally there would be a 15 percent sales tax levied.

With just a week to go to until the election, polling on the measure in Arizona is pretty dead even. We’ll have to wait until election night to see which way Arizonans decide. For more information on the state of marijuana legalization in Arizona, click here.

California

Voters in California will be casting their vote on Proposition 64, which would legalize recreational marijuana for residents 21 and over. California decriminalized marijuana in 2010, and medical marijuana has been legal for almost 20 years. California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana.

Proposition 64 would legalize the possession and use of marijuana by adults 21 and over in the state, up to eight grams of “concentrated” marijuana and 28.5 grams of marijuana overall. Possession would still be illegal in some places, however, like on school grounds. Individuals could grow up to six plants. Public use won’t be allowed, but adults can smoke in their own homes and in specifically licensed businesses. The regulatory body that currently deals with medical marijuana would be expanded to deal with the recreational implementation, and two new taxes would be created–one focused on cultivation and one focused on retail sales.

Support for Proposition 64 has been consistently high, and it seems likely that Californians will vote in favor of the measure. For more information on the state of marijuana legalization in California, click here.

Maine

Mainers will vote on Question 1 on November 8. Currently Maine has legal medical marijuana, and has decriminalized marijuana in the state. Additionally, the cities of Portland and South Portland have already legalized possession and use. A “yes” vote for Question 1 would support legalizing it for adults over 21 in the rest of the state. This is not Maine’s first attempt to legalize recreational marijuana, as a few measures have failed in the past.

Question 1 would allow individuals over 21 to possess 2.5 ounces or less, and grow up to six mature plants. It would also set up the possibility of “retail marijuana social clubs,” presumably bar-like establishments where recreational marijuana could be consumed. Recreational marijuana in Maine would be regulated by the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry, and there would be a 10 percent sales tax.

Currently, support for “yes” votes on Question 1 appears to be holding a slim lead. For more information on the state of marijuana legalization in Maine, click here.

Massachusetts

Bay Staters will vote on Question 4, which would legalize marijuana in the state, and regulate it similarly to how alcoholic beverages are currently regulated. Marijuana is both currently legalized for medical purposes in the state, and decriminalized.

“Yes” votes on Question 4 would support legalizing marijuana for adults over 21, including the possession of up to one ounce in public, and up to 10 ounces in a home. The possession of up to six plants would also be legal. A Cannabis Control Commission would be set up to regulate legal recreational marijuana and the substance would be subject to both the state sales tax as well as an additional 3.75 percent excise tax. Certain municipalities could choose to raise that tax another 2 percent as well.

Massachusetts seems likely to vote “yes” on Question 4, as most polls have consistently shown voters in favor of the measure. For more information on the state of marijuana legalization in Massachusetts, click here.

Double Take Comics Delivers A Robust ‘Night Of The Living Dead’ Expanded Universe

Are you ready for another beloved film franchise to receive the expanded universe treatment so common these days? What about a comic book universe loosely based on the film Night of the Living Dead sound to you?

The zombie obsessives of the world know Night of the Living Dead was one of the original mainstream zombie flicks and franchises before the zombie craze really took over thanks to current properties like The Walking Dead and World War Z. But neither of those properties would likely exist without Night of the Living Dead, which helped invent the zombie genre behind director George A. Romero’s vision. And thanks to the folks at Double Take, his zombie universe is about to get expanded.

For those unaware, Double Take is the comic book imprint of game publisher Take-Two Interactive. While a comic book company owned by a game publishing company creating comics about a beloved film property seems like a recipe ripe for disaster, the project is spearheaded by Bill Jemas, of Marvel Ultimate Universe fame. And put simply, Jemas and his creators deliver.

What Double Take has managed to do, is create a funny, clever, and oddly educational comic book universe. The stories are as easy to consume as fresh human brains. Spruce and sometimes very aware of themselves, these stories remind readers all there is to love about comics. They also build upon that strong foundation with Easter eggs sprinkled throughout with 1960s nostalgia like pages from a TV Guide or parody ads sure to make you chuckle.

So while you’re still in the Halloween spirit, go watch Night of the Living Dead for free on YouTube. Once you’re familiar with the world—or if you want to just dive right in—you can check out the first three issues for free on the Double Take website. The digital reader for their comics makes for a very cinematic experience. Here’s some quick initial thoughts on what the series has to offer.

Rise Vol. 1 Sister’s Keeper

Rise follows the story of siblings Barbara and Johnny Ozarowski (based on Barbra and Johnny Blair from the film). The setup and dialogue is similar to the film including the classic line “They’re coming to get you Barbara.” The difference is that after Johnny’s knocked unconscious, he isn’t turned into a ghoul; and instead of feeding on his sister, he rescues Barbara from the “ghouls” attacking the farmhouse.

As it were, Barbara and Johnny’s story takes a different turn, as they meet up with a hitchhiker named Amy and the three are taken to University Hospital, where all isn’t as it appears on the surface. The crew gets sedated and held in quarantine by the military. But one of them figures out what’s going on and they develop a daring escape before the quarantine zone is “sanitized” by the U.S. Air Force

Rise was simply the first book I picked up, but it doesn’t seem like a bad place to start your journey. It follows characters (more or less) and events from the movie, and expands on them in an interesting way. The coloring adds some interesting flair to the artwork, including some inspired shading of people’s eyes underneath their glasses. Thanks to the off-color font choice resembling something close to Arial—a non-standard choice for comic book lettering—the dialogue reads and flows well.

Plenty of questions leave me wanting more from this story, like why do the zombies like candy? What’s the deal with Amy and Johnny? Are they high-functioning zombies? In any case, I’m hooked on this new universe and its characters and look forward to reading more

Soul Vol. 1 No Saint’s Day

Soul follows nicely after Rise, because it continues the story of Ben, our hero from the film.  Unfortunately for Ben, in this story he’s living out his own Groundhog Day nightmare: Live, die, repeat.

He awakes in the cellar, just like at the end of the movie, but instead of being shot in the head, the bullet only grazes him. This sets off a chain of events that leads him to live out his day repeatedly. After several failed attempts, he teams up with the deceased occupants of the cellar Harry and Helen, who may or may not be figments of Ben’s imagination.

This book was a bit out there story wise. It also borrows artwork from Rise for a few pages which is a bit jarring, but other than that the artwork is consistent. Though not as immediately enjoyable as Rise, it’s not without big potential.

Baby Shower Ends In Outrageous Street Brawl

A baby showers should be a time of joy, a gathering where family and friends get together to celebrate the miracle that is human life. It’s also, for some, a chance to watch two clumsy men bloody each other in a street fight.

The Seattle Times reports the incident took place Saturday night, when a huge crowd, including many people who’d been attending a nearby baby shower, gathered around two men fighting in the street.

Police told the Times that the two men were apparently awful at fighting, with one man accidentally punching an apartment’s window and the other somehow breaking a bottle over his own head. Nevertheless, police said “friends and family members attending a nearby get-together, which reportedly was a baby shower, gathered to watch the fight.”

Detective Mark Jamieson wrote in his report that a “large disturbance erupted between the gathered friends and family members over an unknown issue as the two men continued to fight.”

Eventually, order was restored and the two men were taken to the hospital. It’s unclear if the baby shower continued.
