I love Voyager! I'm really happy for them that they're getting that Eurovision exposure, I just hope it doesn't delay the new album too much. IIRC they've been gunning for this for a few years, very cool that they're going to get on that massive stage, it's well deserved.
It's smart for them, they won't win because a lot of people will choose the rubbish pop songs, but I suggest they're doing it for the exposure. They are not nearly famous enough for the amount of quality music they've put out!

You never know. Lordi somehow won the whole thing one year, so anything is possible. I wouldn't bet my life on it but they've got a slim chance to win if history is any guide. If I recall correctly, Eurovision has them perform live for the competition, and Voyager puts on an absolutely electric live show (seen them three times). If people get a chance to see them play anything live that will swing some votes their way.
Most likely though it will just result in a shitload of positive press and widespread exposure for them, which is still great for the band. They've got such a unique sound and hopefully this will expose them to a much larger worldwide audience.

As a European, Eurovision is one of the most bizarre things to me.

Not Great, Bob!
As an actual European, I don't know if it's bizarre, but it sure as hell is awful.

It's a grand irony that the best song I've heard from any Eurovision contest is the one year they didn't do it because of COVID.
I have an interview with a MLB team... I understand the sport, but I don't know the deeper layer intricacies. Please help lmao

I got a package for my birthday, can’t wait to open it to find out what’s inside.
What do you think it is?

I got a few rounds in over the past week, and it seems the swing changes paid off! It was fairly cold (low 40s)and I've picked up at least 10 yards on my irons... maybe closer to 15 in the mid irons. Spin seems to be up, but the greens were basically frozen... so we will see there. I might actually hit my distances I want this year to where I feel I can attack from longer distances once I get my carry distance dialed in.
Still having issues with the 4i/4H/5i area of the bag. Not the height I want nor the gap filling I need between my Cleveland Hywood and 6i. The 185-215 area of the bag is just severely lacking. I feel like swapping my fairway to the hywood last year really solved my 215-230 issues (I rarely carry a club off the deck for more than that since it may only get used once, maybe twice a round... I can really step on and crank 240 if I need to out of that club). I think I'm gonna take a swing at a Maltby 23 hyway. Similar style of club as my Cleveland and if it could fill the 195-205/210 area with consistency I could probably take out two clubs and add another wedge (currently run 48-52 bent to 53-58... PW is 44).
Also considering trying out a mallet putter. I'm a pretty good putter and this might be a trying to fix what isn't broken... but been playing around with tracking my strike I do wonder if a bit more moi would ease the impact of that slight inconsistency. I am more of a straight back and through putter. More worried about the weight and getting the right feel on with distance.

Just state over and over that Bonds is a Hall of Famer.
Just about analytics and stuff. Not sure how it all works past what I saw in Moneyball lmao. But the interview is in an hour so we'll see how it goes
Baseball is a simple game but you could talk intricacies for days.
What are you interviewing for?
Haha, you sound qualified!
Good luck, though. You probably don’t need to know anything to plug numbers into a formula, I wouldn’t think.
Go PSG!
