All the peaks you should know in CSGO2 in 24k if you want to get good:

1. Shoulder Peek: Briefly exposing only your shoulder to bait out enemy shots, gather information and to counter AWPs. (Usually before Xantares or Ferrari)
2. Crouch Peek: Lowering your stance while peeking to present a smaller target to opponents (only high elo).
3. Wide Peek: Going as far back behind the angle you want to peek to minimize exposure.
4. Wide Swing: Swinging out wide, to make opponents holding an angle miss.
5. Wide Crouch Peek: Crouching while peeking from as far away from the wall to minimize exposure.
6. Slingshot Peek: Shifting to the destination of peek and then swiftly peeking out and back into cover to quickly take a shot while minimizing exposure.
7. Shift Walk Peek: A/D + Shift.
8. Silent Peek: Peaking using Shift for instance when you are flanking.
9. Crabwalk Peek: Peeking while moving sideways and crouching periodically.
10. Jiggle Peek: Quickly and repeatedly moving in and out of cover to gather information or bait out enemy shots.
11. Michael Jackson Peek: A flashy peek involving swift movement in and out of cover, akin to the iconic dance move.
12. Michael Phelps Peek: Ctrl and space in the water on Anubis allows rapid peek on river.
13. Ferrari Peek: Close to the wall and fast peek.
14. Xantares Peek: Close to the wall, wide swinging and fast peek.
15. Jump Peek: Peeking by briefly jumping to gain vision over obstacles while minimizing exposure to enemy fire.
16. Frog Jump Peek: Peeking by briefly jumping to gain vision over obstacles using bind whilst carrying bomb to make yourself invisible (planting anim).
17. Flash Peek: Before Peek throwing a flash.
18. Molly Peek: Running into molly to peek.
19. Smoke Peek: Shift walking through the smoke to catch opps off-guard.
20. Drop Peek: Drop pistol to make your enemies flinch and then peek.
21. Fall Peek: Jumping off an edge and peeking an opp attempting to headshot them in mid-air.
22. Helicopter Scout peek: Looking at ground and emptying the whole mag in one click whilst peeking, insta-dooming anyone in your peripheral vision.

Any suggestions appreciated.

I’m writing this review in the hopes that someone else doesn’t get ripped off like I have
I purchased the Michael Phelps Chilly Goat Cold Plunge in December and took delivery early January.
Normally I only buy products with great reviews and from vendors with great reputations for customer service and product support.
For some reason I ignored all of this when making this purchase. I couldn’t (and still can’t) find a single review from someone whose actually purchased this product. However, I figured if Michael Phelps and Master Spa were going to put their names on it, then it MUST be a good product. Unfortunately that assumption was very wrong, and here’s my honest review.
Upon receipt of the cold plunge, I unwrapped it and got it placed in my garage. Atheistically, the tub is gorgeous. I was extremely happy with the way it looked.
However, once I started unwrapping the components such as the cover, thermostat, filter cover and the covers around the base of the unit, I got the immediate impression that it was all super cheap, bottom of the barrel components. Everything except the white tub itself is extremely flimsy, and cheap. Definitely not what I was expecting from a $9000 cold plunge.
Regardless, I got everything ready so we could get it running once I had the new 20 amp circuit installed. For some reason, in the setup manual it tells you to make sure to wire in a GFCI outlet (even though the plunge whip has a built in GFCI in it already). I had a feeling these two would trip each other out, but I followed the instructions in the manual.
It powered on fine and started working towards getting the water down to the 40 degrees. I then hooked it up to the App (which is a generic app that’s used by many companies selling generic pumps). I tried setting it up to automatically cycle off for most of the day, and cycle on a couple hours before I would be using it.
The next morning I went into the garage to see if it worked.
It didn’t.
The power was off due to the GFCI tripping (just as I thought it would). I reviewed the manual again and it explicitly states that I only use a GFCI, so I powered it back on and tried again. It eventually tripped again, so I contacted support.
This was my first contact with support and the rep “Paul” was helpful. He advised me to try removing the GFCI and replace with a regular outlet. So I did and it worked perfectly. No more tripping the breaker and shutting off.
So now I tried setting the schedule again, and to my delight the cold plunge was at 40 degrees the next morning.
However, what I realized was that it wasn't cycling on or off. It was just staying on the entire time, despite any scheduling I put into the app.
The only way to control the tub (by the way) is by removing the tub skirting and using a small rectangular circuit board that has 4 buttons. Up, down, mode and power. So there’s no way to schedule or do anything with the unit other than turn it off/on, turn the temp up or down, or switch to hot or cold mode. So it looks like scheduling (an advertised feature) wasn’t actually available.
Fast forward a couple months and the cold plunge is working great. It runs 24/7, but it keeps the water right at 40 degrees. I decided I’d like to try the hot side now, so I opened up the app, made sure the mode was on Auto and turned it up to its max.
Now their marketing and manual said that it would be able to get up to temp in a few hours. So I started a timer and watched it. I started it at 5:00 p.m and by 7:30 p.m it went from 40 to 46ish. Definitely not what I was expecting.
So I went to bed, expecting it to be at 104 when I woke up. Fast forward to 8:30 a.m and the tub is only at 73 degrees. At this point I knew for a fact that something was wrong with the unit. So I took a video and added it to my dropbox folder to show support.
I continued to wait and by 11:00 the unit reached 90 degrees. And then at 11:40, it stopped warming up and threw off the error code E20. So I snapped my pictures, added it to the drive and then went into the manual to see what to do about this code.
I then followed the instructions, and reset the machine. It started working again and was able to get to 100 degrees by 12:30 (target temp was 104). However, once it hit this, the machine errored again and threw out E21.
Back to the instruction manual I went, and it said to basically just reset it. So I did, but this time the error code wouldn’t go away. And then the temperature slowly started dropping as I couldn’t get rid of the error code.
Eventually I unplugged the unit and reached out to Paul again. This time he wasn’t as helpful. I sent him the link with all of the videos/photos, but we never really got anywhere until I started getting angry and pressing to return the unit.
At this point he sends me two maintenance companies in my area with their phone numbers (and presented it to me as if it was my responsibility to call them and I would be in charge of paying for it).
This was the last straw for me. I drained the tub and asked to be refunded and return the unit. I’ve been denied over and over, with them citing a 30 day return period. However, my stance on this is that the unit hasn’t worked correctly since the day I bought it. I’ve lost all confidence that this unit will stay in good working condition over a long period of time
Things stalled out from there, so I cooled off and decided to try to get the unit working again. I filled it back up and simply tried to turn it on. Now I’m getting hit with error code E03. I followed the troubleshooting in the manual and it didn’t work (of course).
And now I’m at the end of my wits with this piece of junk.
To anyone considering buying a Michael Phelps Gilly Goat by Master Spa, please heed my warning. Do not.
I may end up being the only actual customer review on the internet for this thing, so please listen to this advice and stay away.
All of the components on this thing are very cheap quality. I have the feeling a large % of our purchase price is going for the rights to use Michael Phelps name, not in getting a quality product.
This unit is in a climate controlled garage. Not exposed to any elements. Yet it took it 18~ hours to go from 40 degrees to 100 degrees (and potentially burned itself out by doing it). The motor doesn’t work at all ever since making that switch. I can’t imagine what it’d do if you actually placed it outside in the elements. There’s no way all of the lines wouldn’t immediately freeze and burst if you did so in the winter.

Michael Phelps the world’s greatest olympic athlete with the most gold medals ever goes on TV now and complains about mental health. Yet there wasn’t any mental health issues 70 years ago everyone’s got 50 mental illnesses now.
Give me a break.

This is just to weaken the USA from being the greatest most powerful empire in the world.
Stop the pussification of America and start fighting for power and freedom and winning and no sissy shit.

Man, awful background checking on Pearson Wright of Atlanta, Georgia sure reflects badly on anyone who employs him, like Cox Media in Atlanta, Georgia.
Pearson Wright of Atlanta, Georgia and his friends ("Hippie", "Sawney Wrath", and Sawney's ex-girlfriend Nicole) killed Michael's innocent dog Fritz. Michael is also not Pearson Wright's only victim, and he'll do it again.
Currently, the criminal Pearson Wright of Atlanta, Georgia works at Cox Media and his main current personal grift is called https://social-celebrity.com/ . This latest grift involves selling followers on social media sites, and he claims that real people follow the users of this service by their own free will. Assuming a service is actually rendered in response to payment, there are very few real ways a service like this can source followers. That includes bots, stolen credentials of otherwise active accounts, automated hijacking of accounts i.e. on Discord using the "join servers for me" permission. (this video exposes the strategy, not the specific operations of the criminal Pearson Wright of Atlanta, Georgia), or he may have created a separate shady Discord server or app that locks a desirable feature behind the requirement to follow users of Pearson's social celebrity service. I don't know how he does it.
Previously, Pearson Wright of Atlanta, Georgia sabotaged and stole credit for the hard work of Bart Gunshot on POTCOMC, assisted and promoted by YoGundi. The criminal Pearson Wright of Atlanta, Georgia and his frequent co-conspirator YoGundi domain squatted many Hytale-related domains when Hytale was announced, and the two used Pearson's malicious strategies to exert power over a community platform called Hytale Hub (link 1). The two have since moved on from Hytale.
On at least two occasions, Pearson Wright of Atlanta, Georgia and YoGundi illegally infringed upon the intellectual properties of The Walt Disney Company (Disney Interactive), first with their now-defunct POTCOMC store, and later the Pirates Online Retribution Game Store (don't visit without a VPN) which still accepts payments today, over six years after the criminal Pearson Wright of Atlanta, Georgia's "Retribution" codebase (which itself was stolen from TLOPO) was leaked in its entirety. Hopefully some of this matter would be interesting to The Walt Disney Company's internal legal team, or one of the firms that defend their intellectual property like Morrison & Foerster LLP or O’Melveny & Myers LLP or Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP or Munger, Tolles & Olson LLP or Latham & Watkins LLP or Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.
Just to be clear, Bart Gunshot is an innocent party in all of this and deserves justice as much as Michael.
Why do they walk free? Especially with the help of subpoenas, there is evidence of these things happening, and a paper trail, so u/mfwass, why have you of all people not pressed serious charges before the statute of limitations is up on this? Why has YoGundi never been held accountable for his participation in Pearson's schemes?
More information about the case involving Michael is available in Sawney's play by play of the events, known as "The_Quest_For_The_TLOPO_Sauce.txt" posted twice by Joseph Grey (gravity4444) in 2020 in the TLOPO Community Discord server.
I have nothing else of value to add myself, and god willing some real investigation and justice finally happens, investigators should look into the past and present staff of the TLOPO Community Discord server (unaffiliated with TLOPO the game, just the most popular TLOPO Discord server) as well as those named in this comment. To the TLOPO Community staff user "lackinganame" who asked about me, I am just someone who feels bad for Bart.
A few lawyers in the world are actually motivated by doing the right thing, and therefore might be interested in digging deeper than I did.
P.S. He was booked overnight on January 29, 2024 for a DUI, open container in a vehicle, and speeding, all at once.
P.P.S. Management of the TLOPO Community Discord server also controls this subreddit. They are connected to the same wannabe hacker group called Reign of Terror, and Upper Echelon, an in-game guild that should have been disbanded a long time ago.
The team running TLOPO the game has failed to maintain a safe and friendly community hub for their game after their falling out with Davy Darkrage. All the time, new and old players alike quit anything to do with TLOPO over the toxic environment of the TLOPO Community Discord server. After all the limits TLOPO imposed on their game so as not to anger Disney, you would think they'd care about public perception. Because if a lawyer from Disney learned about TLOPO from this thread alone, they'd be well within their rights to DMCA it over the reputation of their intellectual property being ruined by these people. Furthermore the unsuspecting women predated on by the TLOPO Community Discord server management and various in-game guild leaderships would be safer for it.

I've been thinking a lot about Project Graham, the "steroid Olympics", and that one project about an animal optimized for triathlons. On top of that, as someone who is into sports I notice that the kind of sport someone succeeds at tends to depend on their body type, and top athletes of different sports tend to have different distributions of muscle.
With that in mind, what do you think it would look like if people were able to employ gene editing and surgical adaptations on their kids in order to highly specialize them for an Olympic sport? Effectively, in this dystopian world people can really lean into the toxic competitiveness of modern day sporting by hyper specializing their kids with cutting edge medical treatments starting from within the womb so that they can compete better than anyone else at a sport. Assuming in this world that the sports themselves have been modified to be especially taxing, like a 10,000K ultra ultra marathon, diving through flaming hoops of spinning blades, lethal fencing, etc., what would people look like?
The only restriction I would want is to keep the athletes mammalian, and readily distinguishable as a homo sapiens. I'd love to talk in the comments about this kind of thing.

I’m still pretty new to swimming, having only started in December last year. I’ve been working on improving my breathing and freestyle technique, and I can now manage a sloppy breaststroke. The butterfly stroke though is not something I thought I’d ever want to learn. I’d only ever seen it on video (clips from Michael Phelps era Olympics and random YouTube vids while trying to learn something else) and it’s always seemed unnecessary and chaotic.
Until this weekend when I saw it done in person for the first time at the pool. There was a woman maybe in her 60s or 70s in the next lane who did the butterfly stroke for a few laps. It was magnificent. Powerful and graceful, with the water flung behind her like wings. I felt like I’d caught a glimpse of Winged Victory of Samothrace. It was awesome.
I’m in my early 30s, which feels pretty late to be a new swimmer, and there’s so much for me to learn still. Yet seeing that woman so powerful and strong in the water gives me hope there’s plenty of time for me to excel in this sport too.
^{^} just wanted to share with y’all :)

I started a fresh character intending to use the Masochist card the entire game. While doing this I've also been cataloging every single Named Zombie I've come across to make sure I get them all. I've been staying out of SoLa on purpose with this character to make sure those named zombies don't mess with my count. I did complete the Haus story line and have accounted for the 3 named zombies you encounter just doing the Haus story. That leaves me currently after completing all sidequests, the story, and doing all the lockboxes, at 145/146 zombies for base game.
I made sure to check that both Amanda Styles and Butcho counted towards my count and they did when I killed them. The only anomaly I've found is you get credit for a named zombie immediately upon entering the Brentwood Sewers during the It's Not Your Fault quest. When you later kill the Seismologist named zombie, you don't get credit for it. I have cataloged this happening 3 times and recorded it once. I can only assume this unaccounted for zombie when you enter the sewer is the game erroneously giving you credit ahead of time however I can't be sure until I've figured out who this 146th zombie is. Otherwise I have to assume the seismologist is bugged and the named zombie count is incorrectly inflated by 1.

148 - 3 = 145, one short of base game zombie total
Has anyone actually managed to kill all 146 zombies in the base game? I have seen claims here and there but never any screenshots.

I was at the dress rehearsal for the Dua Lipa episode tonight (via standby) and can summarize what what was changed/cut to the best of my memory. If anyone else was at dress, feel free to correct or add anything I missed :)
Student Protests

• Heidi had a bob wig at dress
  
• If I remember correctly, Mikey and Heidi’s characters were more anti-protest at dress than at live.
  
• Kenan got cheers at dress during his initial lines supporting the protests
  
• During his line about his daughter getting her degree, Kenan had a line mentioning "someone's dean" giving it to her.
  

Monologue

• I don't think her parents were shown at dress (although the lines referencing them were still there).
  
• The question from Andrew Dismukes was originally from Michael Longfellow
  

Young Spicy

• Young Spicy added additional context at the start that he needs a new tag cause there are a lot of beefs and diss tracks goin around right now in rap (indirectly referencing the Kendrick/Drake feud).
  
• When saying to "make it quick", in addition to the meter running, Kenan said he left a sandwich in the car with the windows open.
  
• At one point, Kenan asked everyone for quarters to pay for the parking meter.
  
• Kenan's joke about Young Spicy's neighbors was gone. Instead the sketch ended with Kenan's car getting towed.
  

Anomalous Man

• No changes I noticed.

Good Morning Greenville

• No changes I noticed.

Challengers Baby

• After Bowen and Marcello's back and forth "I'm 41 so it's not weird." "Yes it is!" There was an additional line from Bowen where he says it's weird "in a different way." [Correction] Marcello full line at dress was "Yes it is! Just, like, in a new way!"
  
• Edit: Bowen posted the dress version on his Instagram.
  

Penne alla Vodka

• No changes I noticed.

Dua Lipa - Illusion

• Introduced by Sarah Sherman instead of Troye Sivan.

Weekend Update: Colin Jost and Michael Che

• Colin did not say "It's the first night of spring, so we'll start tonight with puppy murder."
  
• Joke added for live: "President Trump seen here definitely not sleeping."
  
• Joke added for live: Che's follow-up to the Columbia students joke where he says the school should "stop telling students the truth" like him with his girlfriends.
  
• I believe Che's punchline about the Final Four was about a different sports event.
  
• Joke added for live: Colin's 11-day cruise joke
  
• Colin cut joke about a guy who killed some people and the punchline is that he ate them (cause he's fat)
  
• Colin cut joke: [paraphrased] Hope Hicks testified at the Trump trial, where she proved that the courtroom sketch artist can draw people that look human (cut to side by side of Hicks and Trump's sketches)
  
• Colin cut joke: [paraphrased] In the Trump trial, Hope Hicks testified that Trump trusts Melania's advice. Well we know at least one time that wasn't true (cut to picture of Trump and Stormy Daniels)
  
• Che did the same ad-lib after a bomb about Drake dropping another diss track, but he also did another one on a later bomb at dress, saying "And Kendrick just released a reply!"
  
• At one point after a joke bomb, Che said something that sounded to me like "Just put me on the cast, Lorne!"
  

Weekend Update: Kristi Noem's other dog

• There was joke using "All Dogs Go to Heaven" where they added a couple words making it specific to Noem's dogs.
  
• Marcello also held up a book he is going to release [can't remember the title]
  

Weekend Update: Jojo Siwa

• I don't recall hearing the snippets of her song played at dress.
  
• She originally ate the cigarette. (I think it didn't get a big enough reaction to warrant doing it again).
  
• Gay pop joke - Instead of Colin saying “I think that’s just pop”, he said “there’s been loads of other gay pop artists: Elton John, Ricky Martin, Renee Rapp. Also make up my gym playlist.”
  

Weekend Update: Jerry Seinfeld

• They punched up the Ryan Gosling part a bit for live. I don't remember it having as many jokes, and there was originally a line advising Gosling to stay at home with his wife and kids.

Fat Daddy

• No changes that I noticed.
  
• As they were setting this up, I could hear Punkie telling Kenan and a few crew members about something she had cooking in her dressing room.
  

Dua Lipa - Happy for You

• Introduced by Marcello Hernandez instead of Jerry Seinfeld.

Tiny Statement Pin

• This was slightly longer at dress. I remember there was a pin mentioning Trans rights on screen with the Ceasefire pin.

Jingle

• The Dua's "5 daqs deep" was originally said by Bowen.

Cut for Time
\1. Hotel/Restaurant (live sketch)

• Chloe Fineman is at the front desk of a fancy hotel/restaurant. On the phone she says they are fully booked, but they can make room for Leonardo DiCaprio and his five guests. Mikey Day and Heidi Gardner (Mikey looks dressed like a 00s rock band frontman and Heidi looks a little Paris Hilton-esque) come in and ask for a room/table. Chloe denies them and they go into the “do you know who I am?” routine. Mikey (who has a ridiculous name I can’t remember) is from a “famous” band known for their song “Becky’s Mouth”, which Mikey sings for Chloe and it sounds like Jessie’s Girl, as Chloe points out. Heidi (also with a ridiculous name) is a model/actress and she mentions a commercial she was in. Dua Lipa enters as the third in their group. She cites her own list of silly sounding credits. Kenan comes out as the manager and gets mad at the group. Mikey tries to prove his importance by pointing out his car (not shown) from [fake car brand with silly name] which he got before it even released to the public. Kenan calls it ugly. Mikey also cites his expensive [fake clothing brand with silly name] clothing and Heidi her fancy bag with an LLF on it (standing for something starting with Luigi). Heidi pulls out a bottle of their brand of Ferret Vodka, which has a Ferret-haped stopper. Then, Colin Jost comes out in full vacation get-up, who the staff recognize as Colin Jost, and says he knows the trio and they can come sit at his table. He says he was just listening to “Becky’s Mouth”. End of sketch.
  
• I thought this was pretty good. Sad to see a rare Colin Jost sketch appearance cut.
  

\2. What Would You Do? (live sketch)

• There is a standard “What would you do?” intro where the premise is explained. In this episode, two actors will simulate a racist encounter in a pizza place to see how the patrons will react. Andrew Dismukes is the actor playing the guy behind the counter, and Marcello Hernandez is the actor playing a Latino guy with an accent buying a pizza. Marcello tries to order a pizza and Andrew suggests he illegally immigrated. As Molly Kearney, playing a nearby patron, is about to react, Dua Lipa and Ego Nwodim barge in. The narrator explains that these two women came in and interrupted the shoot so they couldn’t get the patrons’ reaction. They are both in fancy tracksuits (different colors) with a lot of makeup on and Dua has big hoop earrings. Both in trashy English accents, they start accosting Andrew. They say they’ve both been experiencing terrible diarrhea and it’s because of the pizza. They say they’ve only been in the US for a day and have just had the pizza, a pretzel, and some oysters a guy on the street offered them. They describe in excruciating detail how bad their diarrhea was and how it hit them as they were getting on the subway with a joke to the effect of “Stand clear of the expelling women”. Andrew tries a few times to unsuccessfully explain to them that he is just an actor and that they are shooting. Dua and Ego say that they themselves were “shooting” (referring to the diarrhea). They eventually get it when he says they are on TV. They get all excited, but say they wish they were prepared and Dua laments that she has her small hoops on. And I believe it ends with them realizing that they’re “dia-ruh-rhea” story got recorded and the narrator says that they kept it as revenge for ruining their shoot.
  
• This was one of Dua’s best comedic roles all night so it was a shame it was cut. I guess the toilet humor could be a lot for some people, but it worked for me (and I thought the audience liked it).
  
• Marcello was also wearing a mustache that IMO was really working for him.
  

\3. Graduation (live sketch)

• Bowen Yang, Chloe Troast, Marcello Hernandez, Ego Nwodim, Dua Lipa [Corrected by u/wincew, Dua was not in this], and one or two others are on a college campus. They talk about their upcoming graduation and Chloe Troast with a guitar starts to lead them in a song to the tune of Graduation by Vitamin C. They recap their college experience year by year for a chorus/verse, with every year getting ruined by some world event. For each year, Kenan comes out with the respective NYE glasses for that year and for each bad news topic, they cut to JAJ as an anchor reporting that event. In 2020 they had Covid. Then they had the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Kenan says “How did you forget about January 6th?” The students all say at least they had some good things like corn kid, and the Ice Bucket Challenge (“that was 10 years ago!”). Then they show Ego and Marcello in bed together (still standing with a sheet placed in front of them and a bed stood up behind them), which cuts to Roe v. Wade being overturned. Then graduation comes in 2024, but they find out the ceremony is canceled because [they say something to indicate the Gaza protests, without mentioning them explicitly] reasons.
  
• Maybe not the most original observation, but I liked it and liked what it was saying. Not really surprised it got cut though.
  

\4. Drinks after Work Promotion (live sketch)

• Bowen Yang, Ego Nwodim, Andrew Dismukes, Dua Lipa, and Molly Kearney (?) are out for drinks at a bar after work. They are talking about a promotion Andrew just got (due to nepotism) and how he is now their boss. Andrew makes a comment about removing a framed photo of Dua and her son. She gets offended since it’s actually a picture of her and her husband. Andrew points out she looks much older than him. Something causes the whole group minus Andrew to sing the song “Don’t Matter” by Akon. Andrew says he loves that song and it’s actually it’s his favorite song. Dua doubts him and asks what his favorite part is. He sings the chorus “Nobody wanna see us together”. Dua points out that his favorite part is just the chorus, to which he responds “that’s why it’s the chorus”. Dua insists he doesn’t actually know the song and challenges him to sing along if she plays it on the jukebox. As the song starts, Andrew sings the chorus, and then when the verse starts, he says his throat is dry and starts sipping his beer. Dua calls him out, but the rest of the group tells her to calm down. He finishes his beer just as the chorus comes back in and sings the chorus. When the next verse comes, he repeats the dry throat thing and grabs Ego’s wine and does the same thing. Dua gets more mad as the group polices her. The next verse Andrew fakes having to sneeze. Then he fakes getting a phone call about his mom being in the hospital “oh she’s okay?” and immediately breaks back into the chorus. He fakes the phone call again, but Dua grabs his phone and throws it. After the group gets upset with her again, she admits she was really just mad about the promotion, cause she really thought she was gonna get it, and is just taking it out on Andrew. Bowen then reminds her that she didn’t get the promotion because she twisted the nipples of the water cooler guy and the only reason she didn’t get fired is because he spilled it on her and she threatened to sue. The sketch ends with Dua and Andrew singing the “best part” together, with Andrew taking a high harmony.
  
• I liked it, mainly for Andrew’s killer timing with each of his verse-chorus gags, but I’m not surprised it got cut.
  
• As they were setting up this sketch, I waved at Dua and she made eye contact and waved back at me and so I was slightly distracted and starstruck at the beginning of this one.
  

\5. Babysitter (live sketch)

• Sophie (Dua Lipa) is trying out for a babysitter gig for parents Mikey Day and Heidi Gardner. She seems to be getting along with the kids (extras) and Mikey and Heidi say how they don’t even want to see the other candidates cause they like Dua. Dua says how she appreciates that they don’t judge her for her past. They didn’t realize she had a past, which leads to her revealing she was in jail for DUIs. But she reassures them she doesn’t drink any more except [punchline I don’t remember]. She also mentions how she can’t read, and how in jail she fell in love with a guy, Winslow. She holds up a crayon drawing the kids made for her, with her as a stick figure behind bars, and written “visiting Sophie at [funny alternate name for jail]”. Mikey reads it aloud and Dua goes “so that’s what it says!” Dua asks if it’s alright that she invited her boyfriend over. There is a knock at the door and it is Kenan as Winslow. He has a long straight black wig and a long straight brown goatee and he is (as described by Mikey) “dressed like Carmen Sandiego”. Dua mentions something implying he runs a cult. Behind him are Chloe Troast and either Sarah Sherman or Chloe Fineman, who are dressed a little like what I imagine a Victorian schoolgirl would look like. Kenan introduces them both as Sophie. Mikey and Heidi ask “did he make you all change your name to Sophie?” to which all the girls confirm. Kenan then asks Heidi if she is “bleeding” because he needs it for a ritual. She is scandalized. The kids come back after interacting with Kenan and they both have red cloaks now, to Heidi and Mikey’s horror. That might have been the end of the sketch, but I can’t remember.
  
• I think the weakest sketch of the night so this was a fair cut.
  

I thought overall it was a good episode, but I personally would have cut the Young Spicy sketch and replaced it with the What Would You Do? sketch.

Ayonna is a busy little beaver cleaning house before her same-day visit with Jamahl and her court sentencing of 15 or 90 days. Her friend, Lexi, with the mini springy Slinky-like curls is helping her round up her daughter, Ahmira, and her son, Darien, who maybe not so surprisingly doesn’t live with his mother full-time, but visits on weekdays. Otherwise, Darien stays at his grandmother’s, Keisha’s, house. Starting early to avoid responsibility, Ayonna had her son when she was 17 years old and wasn’t ready to be a mom so that arrangement became a comfortable habit. But for all her fake mommy-hood vibes, she only has eyes and time for boopie who gets an ass load of thonged buttock décolletage because Romeo’s Juliet is as happy to gratify her man as to piss off the guards. Girlfriend don’t care who sees her jump up and down to chizzel so that thing sits right. Clack clack on the track – all a-bord while her tongue is hanging out waiting for a traffic signal to retract back into its mouth. She wants to be a slut for Jamahl (like Camilla wanted to be a tampon for Prince Charles.) No worries, honey, you already are his 4-ever ho giddy with the prospect of your felon drilling you with his motorized gearbox snugly aiming for your precisely-sized diameter. He’ll miss her over her “dumb ass bid” – a sentiment she shares with Keisha when she flings herself onto Mom’s couch after the kids are safely tucked away. Jamahl is human so he’ll speak to other people just not any other females – like Clinton’s famous 1998 quote about Monica Lewinsky, “I did not have sex with that woman,” because he knows she’s jealous. Both misbegotten lovers are in the same boat and need to keep a watch on each other’s sanity - the same two people who jumped into their respective boats with little foresight and a lot of alacrity. Keisha, softer, younger, and prettier looking than her stumpy daughter – she of the bad choices, stoically listens as Ayonna continues to blame her situation on the police who confoundingly penalized for the “dumbest charge they made in America” setting in motion a chain reaction of events over which she has no control. Doesn’t Mommy get it? Apparently not because when Mommy says she’s been further discommoded and won’t be around forever to assist, Ayonna nearly jumps off the couch on which she had so lazily been resting to screech that she better be there to pick up the pieces because that’s what mothers are for, ironically disregarding the fact that she isn’t picking up the pieces for her children; she’s smashing them to bits as she waits for her man to come home to pick up the rest of her pieces. I mean if someone doesn’t hand her a broom and a dustpan, what is a selfish girl supposed to do?
True, standing so proudly in the jail’s culinary art kitchen with his sunglasses perched on his head ready to avoid the glare of fluorescent and LED lighting, his popping chest straining against the white-on-white undershirt and shirt, practically bouncing on the balls of his feet unable to contain the fineness of himself, is playing with recipes to possibly outcook Shonta. He’s just now encountering squid and mixing it with crab and mozz-a-rella to make a seafood omelet – a dish many on the outside can’t afford to eat – assuming they would want to. The restaurant is Shonta’s long-held idea for which she saved 25K, but it was stolen and now True is to be the invisible (in more ways than one) restaurant manager – as sound an idea as LaTisha and Keith’s loan business - so she visits Fannie’s African restaurant for advice while True is on the phone. Fannie had to wait two years to see a profit – typical for that industry, but True wants to see it in two months. Fannie wisely suggests that Shonta ensures that one-half the restaurant is officially hers as partners, in love and life, can change as easily as a seasonal menu. Later, Fred, her sticky-fingered, pimp-vibing stepbrother with as checkered a past as True, even having been fellow inmates in the same jail for 6 months, comes limping in to try and salvage some trust in their relationship. He’s the 5K safe stealing equivalent of the cookie thief who denies, denies, denies stealing cookies even as the crumbs fall from his lying lips. Why would this addict rob his relative of a golden opportunity just because the situation unfolded itself in his lap with the exuberance of a dandelion’s fluffy seedhead? Furthermore, he adds that she doesn’t know what she’s getting into when she gets with True, awakening Shonta’s Spidey senses, and they need to be quivering as she is as surrounded by victimizing men as Conestoga wagons in the untamed West.
Outdoors man Rick is shopping with his nieces, Dyana and Veronica, a corrections officer, to spice up his wardrobe. He’s supposed to be a ladies’ man. Kind of Kevin Bacon-ish. Divorced, he decides to try and find his high school crush, Samantha, recently released and now working at a re-entry center. She’s still blond and attractive, three granddaughters and resisting/obstructing officers and two felony DUI offenses later. They’ve been “dating" for over 3 months. Can we digress for a minute here? Old-fashioned dating wasn’t a blanket term used as a fig leaf for surfing through dating apps, speed-dating strangers in a neutral space, having quickies in the front seat of a car in a Compton-like neighborhood like Hugh Grant, or timed jail calls. Well, that’s ok, Rick has also had an alcohol and party problem himself, like Sammi, until 2 ½ years ago. In fact, he was a functional drunk until he started blacking out, which was when he started getting help. They have that in common. He awkwardly confesses that he’s been sending her money, never mind how much, 25K, and intends to marry her. The nieces are shocked, and Ronnie explains cons’ cons while Rick is scrunched in embarrassment looking wretched as his younger relatives admonish him for his naïveté.
That family video chat didn’t go that well. Conflict-avoidant Joey was outed by his sister’s minor bombshell of his prior relapse. As he relates this to a cavalier Michael on their phone chat, a fight is going down in the jail background as pepper spray cuts off their communication temporarily, perfectly illustrating Joey’s concerns about their communication skills. It’s not so much that as the ubiquitous secret one partner always has. This time it’s the release date. Pre-board in three months and parole board in 6 months before finding the recommended release date, and if parole is denied, Michael can wait from 6 months up to a year before being reconsidered. In fact, he could be in for another 6 years and that’s the straight answer he doesn’t want to give Joey, as well as the number of his past lovers, in and out of stir, and who knows what else. Of course, the silver lining to an extended sentence could be either time for honing those skills, which will require every one of those minutes, or the chance to reconsider throwing in with a fellow addict whose spent more time behind bars than in front of them.
It's a Joan Rivers, “Can we talk”? moment or coming to a gunfight unarmed as Kate begins to unwind, like an ectothermic snake after the equinox, feeling the warm sun spilling from the rock it’s hiding under. That’s because Tennie tells Kate some hard truths like her initiating a petition to address excessive sentencing that Kate wouldn’t assist with or even sign. Tennie explains but doesn’t apologize for her past. Cheyenne’s dad died when she was 1-years old and Mi’yah’s dad is MIA. When Kate discovers that Tennie isn’t a spoiled selfish boogie hogging the spoils to which Kate feels she’s being rightfully denied, she reluctantly admits, “I might like her,” but it wouldn’t do to like her right away, of course. They both walk away unsettled; Tennie concerned that Rob hasn’t called to find out how the visit went so Tennie decides to weaponize those insidious cameras to have a night to herself. Rob is incredulous and turns the convo into telling her his case manager suggested turning down parole and staying in longer which Rob unilaterally decided to do. He doesn’t tell her he’s got a portrait-sized tattoo of a past girlfriend on his arm he somehow needs to erase and that’s more important than disrupting other peoples’ plans. Well, it’s what happens when you decide to become a permanent living art installation with few chances of rotation. And speaking of art, the slightly tilted looking piece over Tennie’s bed looks like either a crude attempt at Pointillism or mold spreading like cracked black pepper flung on a crumpled Saltine.

Despite the typo in the title, this is the second part of my list for Missouri's execution roster. As stated in the first part, character count limitations forced me to split it into two separate posts. For the link to part 1, please click here.
The currently executed 98 offenders, cases 50 to 98:
50. Samuel Smith (1979-2001, lethal injection): In 1979, Smith bound and strangled a physician, 28 year old Zachary Moraitis, to death while robbing his apartment. He was charged and convicted for second degree murder, and given a 12 year sentence for it. 8 years later, a group of inmates, which included 24 year old Marlin May, attacked another inmate. Smith intervened, got into a knife fight with May, and stabbed him to death.
51. Jerome Mallett (~1985-2001, lethal injection): Mallett shot and killed James Froemsdorf, a 35 year old state trooper that pulled him over for speeding, with his own handgun when he tried to arrest him. He fled the scene with a handcuff stuck on his left wrist, which was still on him when Mallett was captured two days later. As a child, Mallett suffered an injury that deformed his right hand, which enabled to slip it out of the cuffs during the botched arrest. At the time of Froemsdorf's murder, Mallett was wanted for robbery and parole violations.
52. Michael Roberts (1994-2001, lethal injection): Roberts tricked his neighbor, 56 year old Mary Taylor, into letting him hang out at her house with the intentions of pulling a robbery. They watched television together for several hours until Taylor decided to hush out of the door. He then pounced on her with a hammer he snuck inside, and inflicted 19 blows to her head. Roberts also poured boiling water on Taylor's face, choked her with a telephone cord, and stabbed her with her own butcher knife. A total of $200 and other undisclosed valuables were stolen and most of it was spent on cocaine.
53. Stephen Johns (1982-2001, lethal injection): During a gas station robbery, Johns and his accomplices shot and killed the clerk, 17 year old Donald Voepel, and took $248 from the register.
54. James Johnson (1991-2002, lethal injection): Johnson got into an argument with his wife and daughter in their home and tried to evict them both at gunpoint. The police were called, and Johnson shot and killed the responding officer, 27 year old Leslie Roark. He drove to the home of another police officer, and fired on his family while they were having a Christmas party. The officer's wife, 38 year old Pam Jones, died in the shooting. Johnson then attacked other policemen in their homes, and fatally shot 54 year old Sheriff Charles Smith in one assault, wounded an officer in another, and gunned down a deputy sheriff, 42 year old Sandra Wilson, when she tried to respond to his rampage. He took a female hostage in a standoff with police, but Johnson released her and surrendered after a day of negotiations.
55. Michael Owsley (1993-2002, lethal injection): Owsley and his accomplice double crossed their dealers, 18 year old Elvin Iverson and Ellen Cole (age unknown), during a drug deal and tied them up at gunpoint. The pair beat and strangled their captives in the hope of extorting money from them. Iverson was shot point blank in the head while Cole managed to escape their captors.
56. Jeffrey Tokar (~1983-2002, lethal injection): Tokar and his girlfriend drove into a remote countryside in search of empty houses and farms to rob. The couple picked a farm house owned by 35 year old Johnny Douglass as their target. While they were burglarizing the property, Douglass returned home from an errand with his 8 year old son and 4 year old daughter. The family ran into the couple when they went inside, and Tokar held them at gunpoint. Despite Douglass' daughter pleading for her father's life and Douglass' own pleas, Tokar shot him dead. He had a long history of burglaries, and was released from prison after serving 3 years for burglary just months before the murder. His other previous convictions include DUI and assault.
57. Paul Kreutzer (1992-2002, lethal injection): Kreutzer bound and raped 36 year old Louise Hemphill in her own home. Hemphill was stabbed in the neck, beaten with a baseball bat, and strangled to death with a belt. Her purse, along with other incriminating items such as duct tape, bloodied gloves, and a bb gun, was discovered in Kreutzer's possession.
58. Daniel Basile (1992-2002, lethal injection): Basile was hired to kill 28 year old Elizabeth DeCaro by her husband, who wanted to collect a life insurance policy. He carried out the murder by shooting Elizabeth dead in her kitchen.
59. William Jones Jr. (1986-2002, lethal injection): Jones was dating a much older man, 49 year old Stanley Albert. He shot and killed Albert "execution style" in his apartment, wrapped him in a blanket, and dumped his body in a forest. Although Jones claimed that he acted to protect himself from a sexual assault, prosecutors postulated that the murder was motived by his desire to steal Albert's car (which he was captured speeding in).
60. Kenneth Kenley (~1984-2003, lethal injection): In the last of a day long string of robberies, Kenley stormed a tavern and shot a customer, 27 year old Ronnie Felts, dead. He kidnapped the tavern's owner, but she managed to escape from him in the parking lot. Kenley also abducted a woman during a convenience store robbery earlier that day, and sexually assaulted and shot her. She managed to jump out of his car window and survived her injuries. He was released from a 4 year prison sentence for theft just months before his rampage.

It escalated to the breaking point when Crotts invited Goodwin inside her home in an attempt to have the issue peacefully resolved. Goodwin instead forced Crotts to perform oral sex on him and bludgeoned her to death with a hammer. His execution was controversial, as Goodwin allegedly had a cognitive disability.

He began by beating Ray in her trailer, cut her jaw with a knife, and threatened to kill her if she stepped foot in Sanders' trailer. The attack had the opposite effect of its' objective, and instead terrified Ray to the point of moving in with Sanders for protection. Weeks later, Bucklew "borrowed" his brothers' handcuffs and guns, and stormed Sanders' trailer. He shot and killed Sanders, shot at his 6 year old son, and kidnapped Ray. Bucklew bound her with the handcuffs, dragged her into his car, and raped her. She was rescued by police officers, who wounded and subduded Bucklew in a shootout. However, Bucklew briefly escaped, and attacked Ray's mother and her boyfriend with a hammer before he was recaptured.

90. Walter Barton (1991-2020, lethal injection): Barton was condemned for the fatal attack on his landlady, 81 year old Gladys Kuehler in her trailer. She was raped and stabbed over 50 times. A page from Kuehler's checkbook was taken, which was used to transfer $50 to Barton's account. Blood found on his clothes were also linked to Kuehler by a DNA test. Kuehler and Barton were reportedly close and many accounts report that he assisted her in walking and did chores around her home. However, she had him evicted due to falling far behind on rent days before the murder. Barton, his attorneys, and supporters in Missouri’s Innocence Project pushed that the blood on his clothes was from posthumous contact with Kuehler’s body while allegedly discovering it. From such concerns, his execution was a source of controversy.
91. Ernest Johnson (~1990s-2020, lethal injection): Johnson held a retail store at gunpoint. In retaliation for the employees destroying the safe key, Johnson shot 3 employees, 58 year old Fred Jones, 57 year old Mable Scruggs, and 46 year old Mary Bratcher. When the victims survived the initial shootings, he beat and stabbed them to death with a hammer and a screwdriver. He had previous convictions of robbery and burglary, and was released from prison a year before the murders. His execution was contested, as Johnson had brain surgery to remove a tumor in 2014. According to his attorneys, the operation rendered him cognitively disabled, and therefore was ineligible for execution.
92. Carman Deck (1996-2022, lethal injection): Deck, his sister, and their mother's boyfriend invaded the home of a couple, 69 year old James and 67 year old Zelma Long. They shot and killed the Longs, and stole jewelry, checks, and a total of $200 from the house.

He had several unrelated sexual offenses against a former stepdaughter and other unidentified women, and was involved with drug trafficking. Despite his history and the other damning evidence against him (including testimony of his brother mentioning that he confided about committing the murder and traces of Angela's blood being found on his glasses), Taylor was popular among Missouri Innocence Project organizations for his daughter's alleged claims of him calling her 2,000 miles away from the crime scene.
96. Michael Tisius (2000-2023, lethal injection): In an attempt to break a friend out of a rural jail, Tisus shot and killed two guards, 33 year old Leon Egley and 36 year old Jason Acton.

At the time of the murder, Johnson was a transient with a criminal history, but I couldn't find any specifics regarding his past convictions. Johnson's execution was a source of controversy, as he was previously diagnosed with schizophrenia.
98.Brian Dorsey (~2006-2024, lethal injection): Dorsey was on the run from a drug related debt to his dealers and retreated to his cousin, 25 year old Sarah Bonnie, and her husband, 28 year old Benjamin, for sanctuary.
