Daily Dirt for Wednesday, April 23, 2025

I seem to run into the nephew living in disgrace way too much … Welcome to today’s three thoughts that make up Vol. 1,263 of The Daily Dirt

1. We’ve all met them, more than likely on a daily basis.

Oh, you know them very well. They are members of the esteemed Lee family. They regularly work their way into our lives.

Most of us know the cousin who cannot take a joke and you have to watch what you say. Yes, that would be Serious Lee.

Then there is the long-lost brother with the attitude: Sarcastic Lee.

And don’t forget that uncle you can always predict: Usual Lee.

It’s not hard to remember the nephew who lives in disgrace: Shameful Lee.

Or the grandfather who has a difficult time understanding metaphors: Literal Lee.

And unfortunately, every family has a black sheep it tries to avoid and/or hide: Ug Lee.

That the Colby Jack Pub Burger is returning to Culver’s.
That Krispy Kreme has a new cheesecake doughnut collection now available.
That after more than a decade away, Dodge is (hopefully) coming back to NASCAR. The Dodge Ram will be returning to the Truck Series in 2026, if all goes well. Dodge is also hoping to return to the Cup Series in the not-too-distant future. Dodge last competed in NASCAR in 2012.
