Elizabeth Hurley Is Dialed In Heading Into Summer, LIV Haters Had A Bad Weekend & Fan Fights Ref At Basketball Tournament
The War On Real Eggs was on display this weekend in Chicago
I'm back from a research mission to Chicago with Mrs. Screencaps to attend the annual National Restaurant Show where companies show off the latest and greatest in food, cutlery, drinks, tech, innovation and solutions to do better business.
Mrs. Screencaps is responsible for designing one of the bigger booths on the floor at McCormick Place, so we head out each year to see her creation come to life.
I tag along because the NRA show is, in my mind, because I love food samples and this place is Costco's Sample Saturday on the best PEDs ARod ever injected into his ass, or wherever he rammed them into his bloodstream.
Let me make it 110% clear -- this might've been the most samples I've ever seen offered at the NRA show and I've been to like 5-6 of these shows. Dare I say it was overwhelming? At one point after the ice cream from Wisconsin, I had to take a break. The samples were piling up and the banana cream ice cream with little chunks of wafers hit me hard.
Yes, I eventually rebounded to hammer a sample slice of pizza, NY Strip chunks and an Icee, but my production level definitely slowed.
My biggest takeaways from the 2023 show:
Who wants a sushi sample!?! You could eat sushi until you puke at the National Restaurant Association show. This is why they can't open this show to the general public. It would be absolute chaos.
Mrs. Screencaps' booth is straight ahead towards the front in a prime spot, but it's blocked by the Pepsi rigging system.
Very first popcorn vending machine I've ever seen. Seems easy. You pick a size, insert your card, payment processes, you push and hold the button until your popcorn bag is filled.
The Trump Hotel Chicago is legit
I'm not a world traveler like you guys, but I like to think I know a good hotel when I stay in one. The Trump Chicago lived up to the billing. The place didn't miss on a single thing. It was first-class from the minute we pulled up to the valet. There were no big-timing attitudes, just helpful guys doing their thing.
No, there weren't murals of Trump everywhere. No, there weren't campaign signs for Trump 2024.
Yes, we tried the complimentary bottles of Trump Water® and it tasted like your normal H2O.
Yes, I was mesmerized by the TV in the bathroom mirror. Now that's the touch I expect out of a 5-star hotel. I didn't even know I needed a bathroom mirror TV until I lived through the experience. I have to say, it's much easier to get ready for dinner when you can keep track of the PGA Championship in the bathroom.
Thanks, Trump.
Yes, that's a dishwasher and a Sub-Zero fridge, but the fridge was way too loaded down with $11 Heineken's to stock it with your own beers. I have to assume housekeeping would clear it out if you asked. Yes, the cabinets are stocked with plates, wine glasses, and silverware. There's also a Miele induction cooktop to the right of the sink.
No, I did not slip and crack open the $175 bottle of Tito's.
Hopefully, we aren't charged $11 for moving the Trump bar to take a photo.

IG images not loading on iOS -- again
I'm going to let Matt speak for the dozens of people who've written in over the last 6-7 days.

Hi joe— I’ve tried the last fix that you published a few months ago about deleting the website data in settings and that had been working for me until about 10 days ago.
Now the problem is back and that fix isn’t helping.
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for all you do for us regular guys.

I can't remember the reader who solved the issue the last time, but I'm once again asking for the public's help on this one. One of you must have a solution to make the IGs work again. I'll tell you what, I'll send (ONE) item from the OutKick store to whoever solves the issue.
That's right, on me.
Someone make the IGs Great Again because people are beating me up over this one -- again.
That's it for this morning.
It's the final week of school around here and I know many of you are busting ass to get everything tied up at work so you can bolt Thursday and not return until after the holiday. Let's buckle down and get after it for four solid days. Deal?
