  • I'm Embarrassed to Admit This, But

    I listen to the Dan Lebatard Show on ESPN 790 (Miami) almost religiously because of its refusal to take sports too seriously and its determination in not talking about the same dumb stuff every other sports talk radio program talks about. Something else I admire is the way it laughs at itself far more than anyone or anything else. Promo lead-ins after commercial breaks are often edited collections of stupid things the show's host and co-host have said on the air, and there used to be an annual awards show where voters would select the dumbest moments of the year.

    One (really idiotic, but really funny) recurring segment has the on-air and production personalities each take a turn stating an honest completion of this sentence: "I'm embarrassed to admit this, but..." It's pretty dang funny.

    In that spirit (and as a response to the sustained negativity that's characterized HT these many years), here is a space for voicing complaints, confessions, and admission about ourselves. If you post a complaint in another thread about someone else's behavior or personality, come here and post one about yourself. Perhaps by not letting ourselves off the hook once in a while, we'll be more eager to let someone else off the hook once in a while.

    (Stupid crap eliminated.)

    DUDE! When did anyone say what you should and shouldn't listen to???
    Are you still following the precepts of Chairman Mao?

    Get real.

    We love you anyway, regardless.

      I don't understand your question. Where do I indicate that anyone has told me what to listen to?

        I will go first.

        Ten years ago, I had a job interview at a school where I really wanted to teach. The night before the interview, I took a really good shower, then gave myself a haircut (I'm not great, but I don't suck). I've got this really weirdly shaped bathroom, and the corner near the shower where I cut my hair is kind of out of the way, albeit in plain sight.

        I swept the hair I'd just cut off into a tidy pile in that corner, meaning to get a dustpan and toss it out the next day.

        Before I finish this, I want to underline the fact that the hair was very clean when I cut it off. It's not quite as clean now but it's not gross or anything. I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I know because that little pile of hair is still there. I plan to get to it soon.

          Don't feel too bad, it gives your house guests something to wonder about when they use the bathroom and see a pile of hair in there, I bet their imaginations run wild with thoughts about the source.
          Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.

            Ah, the importance of clear communication!

            I thought you were saying that:

            I'm embarrassed to admit this, but:
            "I listen to the Dan Lebatard Show on ESPN 790 (Miami)...."

            Hence my stupid reply.

              I'm embarrassed to admit this, but, far too often I have a few too many glasses of fermented grape juice and post the most stupid things online! (Whew!)

                I'm not embarrassed to admit that this actor got his just desserts.

                  I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I look at fast food restaurant male managers who hired teenage girls with suspicion as much as adult male boy scout troop leaders.

                    I am sometimes embarrassed to admit that I never learned how to swim.

                      I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I was addicted to porn in college.

                        I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I pretend to talk on a cellphone when I see a person asking for money at a street corner. I see a lot more abled bodied people asking for money than someone in a wheelchair. I walk with a crutch, so I feel that an abled bodied has a nerve to do that. I saw a pregnant woman went apeshit by yelling at a person who ask her for money.

                          I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I used to mock and make fun of people who stood in line in order to get their hands first on whatever latest-and-greatest gadget Apple is putting out. And yet, there I was at 6 am last week Friday, sixth in line at the Verizon Wireless store in Moanalua, waiting for an iPhone 5.
