Surviving Barstool: The Muppet Power Rankings
Before we get into what everyone came here for; figuring out which Muppet Brandon Walker is (we all know, right?) let me quickly introduce myself. My name is Pat Geary, but online I go by Poolside Pat. Why Poolside? Because pools rock. Somewhere deep in the YouTube archives, you can find me reviewing a handful of them. The plan was simple: get famous, or at least get free hotel rooms. Shockingly, the bit never caught on. I was born and raised in the great state of Connecticut

Daytona's Best and Worst Paint Schemes
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have made it to the last race before the Chase, Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona International Speedway. Top 5 Paint Schemes: Number 1: Todd Gilliland with the Grillo's Hot Pickle Car As if the Grillo's man wasn't likeable enough he becomes the Gillionaire and then comes out with this? I need a top 15 finish from him in this car. Ideally a win but a victory lane diecast of this car would hit so hard. Number 2: Ross Chastain with the Wendy's Waterme
