1. Why are the people on the outside of the mine wearing hard hats? Is someone going to throw a rock at the families or the Chilean President? It reminds me of pro baseball managers. Why do they all wear uniforms? Are they going to pinch hit or something?
2. Who had the flag idea first? Texas or Chile? Oh and I am glad they they had time to paint that flag on the rescue tube. However, I am shocked that Coca-Cola did not figure out a way to plaster their logo all over it. You gotta know if it was a US rescue, McDonald's and Coke would be all up in that.
3. I am glad that Chile had the good sense to schedule the rescue for prime time. I hate repeats. I and am still mad they did not broadcast the winter Olympics live. RUDE. Oh and hey dumb ABC Olympics bosses, did you see Bruce
4. What the freak is the temperature down in Copiapo, Chile? Why so many puffy coats? Oh and hey, I like saying "Copiapo."
5. These guys look remarkably non-chalant upon emergence from that tube. I would definitely need a bottle of wine with a Xanax chaser before I got in that thing. Hold up. Matt is pointing out that these guys are miners and are used to confined spaces because, ya know they are miners. Whatever.
6. I am kinda in love with Mario Zimwhatshisname (the second miner). Also, I am cracking up because as they were showing his picture earlier, I was thinking he is an "older gentleman" then MSNBC informs me that he celebrated his 40th birthday down there in the mine. Nuts. I am 41, but in my mind, I look 24ish.
7. Whose car alarm keeps going off? Yo homes, check yo Escalade.
8. Quit showing US miners. We just look stupid. No offense if you are a US miner who was once trapped but later rescued and are now on MSNBC giving your thoughts. BTW, did you ever see Coal Miner's Daughter? I think I know every line in that movie. Remember when the only premium channel available was HBO and they only played about 4 movies each month over and over? To this day if that movie comes on, I am compelled to watch it. It does not matter whatever else is on or what part of the movie I stumble across, I watch it. Maybe it is just THAT great of a movie or maybe I just revert back to 1981 and think that is all that is on.
9. Are those guys getting overtime for the months down there? If it was the cheap company that Matt works for, they would probably deduct the cost of his food and water. I would have to call Gloria Allred to straighten shit out.
10. Do you think these reporters are going to stay up all night ++++ for all 30 miners?
11. Matt claims to have no memory of the coverage of the rescue of little baby Jessica who fell in that well in the 80s. How is that possible? I wonder if he remembers the OJ low-speed freeway chase??? Jeesh. What about 9/11? Oh wait. He was probably playing frisbee golf that day.
12. These reporters make me want to cut. So stupid.
