ALT Adam: You or one of your loved one has to have major surgery. You receive a recommendation for the best surgeon in your area to do the critical, delicate operation. When you go into the surgeon’s office for the consultation their office is a standard professional’s office (big desk, nice furniture, medical books, etc) but on one of their office walls they have a life-size FatHead sticker of Aaron Rodgers. Do you still get surgery from them?

ALT You can sometimes detect an edge in how the USWNTers of the previous generation—who fought for and won pay equity, while in many cases being outspoken on various social justice issues—talk about today's crop of stars. During the live show, Press expressed her ambivalence about the current generation's public complacency. "I played soccer during the right time for me because I wanted to do that work. That is why I played. But it's a gift to not have to do that work. And so it's like, we fought so that this generation could just ball out, right?" she said. "And we get to see that, and we're like, 'Wait, aren't you going to fight for more? Like, carry the torch!'" Rapinoe identified a "more conservative" shift among the personal brands of current American stars. She gave a word of wisdom to the next generation: "Somebody's profiting off you, so you may as well be a part of it."

ALT Brian: I have a friend from high school who may be the world’s worst case of bandwagoning. In the nearly 30 years I have known him, he has been a consistent fan of Mississippi State and the Atlanta Braves, as well as a revolving door of “it” teams. At various points, he has been a fan of Notre Dame, Miami, Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida. He used to be a Tennessee Titans fan because of Steve McNair, but is now a Cowboys fan because of Dak Prescott. And for the last few years he has been a Chiefs fan. I used to make fun of him for his flavor of the month bandwagoning, especially because none of these teams won championships during the time he liked them (except Florida). When I went home to see my parents this Christmas, I met up with him like I always do to see a movie. He was wearing a Dodgers T-shirt and an Edmonton Oilers hat. He has never been interested in hockey the entire time I’ve known him. I don’t really have a question. I just need validation that he’s nuts.

ALT ITEM #20-5252899 – ROWENTA IXEO VISION ALL-IN-ONE STEAMER Price: $399.95

ALT Copy: “Make sure your holiday linens are pressed to impress. Rowenta’s powerful steamers ensure impeccable results.” Drew says: Oh, do you not own holiday linens? And are they not pressed (to impress) on a regular basis? Well then you probably don’t like Christmas at all. You must be a real asshole, buddy! “Rowenta’s powerful steamers” was actually my fantasy football team’s name this season.

ALT JJ: Who would you rather spend an hour with, Willem Dafoe or Malcolm McDowell? Both creepy, both intense, but one could answer some Spider-Man questions and the other could explain how in the world he was married to Mary Steenburgen.
