This is insane....likely that a few got injured, so a word of warning.

I don't want anyone to get seriously hurt but I'm not going to cry for anyone who attends a bullfight.

There's a car shop in the NE that has a funny sign that I double take every time I drive by it.

This is still hilarious. They got real bang for their entertainment buck that day.

One of my favourite podcasts I've listened to was called "Missing Richard Simmons." I think it was just 6 or 7 episodes and came out about 5 years ago

The host of the podcast was a former producer on the daily show and a friend of Richards. He basically is trying to find out why Simmons just disappeard from the public eye.

Highly recommend. I knew almost nothing about Richard Simmons and not even sure how I stumbled on the podcast but thought it was a great listen.

I am 100% on team Bull whenever I see these Spanish bullfighting videos. So incredibly stupid that torturing an animal for entertainment is still a thing over there, hopefully the bull got a few notches on his horn before they put him down

Ditto. Go Team Bull.

At the same time though, these fine folks came out and paid their money for an evening's entertainment and hoo boy...they got their money's worth.

Maybe not the way they thought they would, but thats what happens when you screw with big, dangerous animals.

It was like an inverse of the running of the Bulls in Pamplona.

The thing is...juggling and ball control is important, but there are so many people in this world with outrageous ball-control skills who just cant hack it as actual players.

This sport looks so cool! I like it!

Ronaldinho has apparently become a huge Teqball player since he retired.

Yeah, that seems right up his alley! Outrageous ball control skills without all of that pesky 'running about.'

I dont doubt he'd be awesome at this. This is a seriously cool sport!

Like that Brazilian girl? Her control is sublime.

I'm not going to listen to it, but I'm curious. What was the reason?

He wanted out of the public eye. He was in a lot of pain and didn't want to be seen. He was never missing, his whereabouts were known before the Podcast was released. He was at home being a loner for awhile.
