In his South Coast Repertory-commissioned "Goldfish," John Kolvenbach concocts an ingenious variation on a familiar trope: the working-class college kid wooing the spoiled rich coed. His twist — factoring in the lovers' parents, who see their own mistakes about to be repeated — affords greater ballast than the average romantic comedy musters, with moderately enjoyable results in Loretta Greco's slick but emotionally muted premiere production.
After meeting cute in the library, the uptight, science-minded Albert (Tasso Feldman) and madcap Lucy (Kate Rylie) take a semester-long Relationships 101 course from awkward fumbling to genuine intimacy. Sincerity and warmth are the long suits here, but more bitterness from Feldman, considering the institution's strict social caste system, and more sense from Rylie of delicious dalliance in uncharted waters, would add freshness to an otherwise stock pairing.
It's the context of their affair that interests Kolvenbach most, beginning with Albert's widower dad, Leo (Conor O'Farrell), whose pensioner life is a sinkhole of torpor and gambling losses. The strict budget Albert establishes goes for naught when Leo succumbs to the racetrack's siren call, putting his son's tuition money, and ultimately his entire future, at risk.
At the same time, hard-drinking divorcee Margaret (Joan McMurtrey) is battling her own ghosts, notably Tom, the charming but dissolute roue whose only redeeming act seems to have been fathering Lucy.
Kolvenbach shows a gift for wry banter in the mother-daughter scenes: "Look at you," murmurs Margaret mid-martini. "I am flabbergasted by how beautiful I used to be." If she's a wounded lioness, McMurtrey nevertheless fiercely mothers her cub when "an unfit boy" comes into the picture, an outwardly polite confrontation with Albert crackling with unspoken determination on both sides.
Unfortunately, the far more consequential Leo/Albert dynamic lacks a similar undercurrent of emotional stakes. O'Farrell's Leo seems to accept his loser status with far too much equanimity. We don't see the resentment of a dad under the thumb of his kid, or feel the ache of a sad sack who can't win for losing even with the best of intentions.
By the same token, the steel Feldman brings to his faceoff with his girl's mother is missing from his dealings with Dad. Instead, there's an air of resignation present, as if both battlers have thrown in the towel well in advance of the opening round.
Perhaps helmer Greco has steered the men to back off from too much emotional show lest the play teeter into melodrama. It doesn't, but neither does it grip, as the playwright evidently intended it should.
Opportunities for fully realized life are also missed in the physical world of "Goldfish." Leo's crummy kitchen, perfectly evoked in Myung Hee Cho's avocado-and-gold color scheme, is properly tidy when Albert leaves for college, but as time passes the environment doesn't include ajar cabinet doors or undiscarded soup cans to reflect Leo's careless lifestyle.
Would Margaret, the voracious smoker, really extinguish after one quick puff the cigarette she demands from Lucy? Would Albert, so eager to exit, immediately put down his suitcase when Leo announces he's about to tell a story? Kolvenbach's subtly etched characters should gain stature as thesps grow into their roles, exploring their physical reality and maybe taking a flyer on some increased emotional risk.

Chairshot Wrestling News Shuffle: News Involving Ashley Massaro, Ric Flair, NXT, and More! (5/17/19)
News involving Ashley Massaro, Ric Flair, NXT Tag Titles, and More!
News here! News involving Ashley Massaro, Ric Flair, NXT Tag Titles, and More!
Ric Flair Medical Scare?
TMZ Sports broke news Thursday morning that Ric Flair suffered a medical emergency that they quoted as being "very serious." Later in the day, Conrad Thompson would refute that report and stated that Flair had a planned procedure, but wouldn't elaborate on any further details. TMZ Sports would post and update from Flair's wife, Wendy Barlow, and she said:
"Due to ongoing health complications, Ric was taken to the hospital and is expected to undergo a procedure tomorrow morning, after which he expects to fully recovery."
Jason's Take
It's hard to believe everything you read when it comes to wrestling, so that's why you should be reading the Chairshot everyday. We sort through the bullshit so you don't have to. On that note, hopefully things are ok with the Nature Boy. Reading news on Flair like this makes me a little nervous, especially with the medical scare he had in 2017. But it looks like even death itself taps out to the Figure Four.
Alexa Bliss Pulled From Money In The Bank
WWE Tweeted this morning that Alexa Bliss has been pulled from the Money In The Bank ladder match, and has been replaced by Nikki Cross. The reason given by WWE is that Alexa has not been medically cleared to compete. Dave Meltzer is reporting that the reason is indeed injury related, and possibly due to Alexa's concussion history.
Jason's Take
If the company was worried about her concussion history and her participating in a ladder match, why did they attempt to put her in it in the first place?
NXT Tag Titles Vacated
WWE has announced that the NXT Tag Team Championships have been vacated. This shouldn't be a surprise with the Viking Raiders being called up to the main roster. WWE's storyline reasoning is due to the controversial ending of the title match between The Viking Raiders and The Street Profits that aired on Wednesday's episode of NXT. This show was taped on Wednesday, May 1, 2019, from Winter Park, FL at the Full Sail University. William Regal will address the situation on next week's episode of NXT.
It's official: The NXT #TagTeamTitles have been vacated. #WWENXT https://t.co/jtpBO6TJ20
— WWE NXT (@WWENXT) May 16, 2019
Jason's Take
I'm not really shocked that the Viking Raiders were stripped of the titles. The real question is who the next team is that will be crowned champions? Could the Undisputed Era regain the titles?
Kurt Angle On AEW
Kurt Angle is one of the handful of wrestlers who is no stranger to leaving WWE, and re-vitalizing his career with another promotion. So, rightfully, Angle would be someone to ask on thoughts of AEW competing with WWE. Angle spoke with Wrestling Inc on Thursday, and gave some of his thoughts on AEW.
"I want the fans to be excited about it. I'm gonna tell you this though, and I don't wanna come around in five years and say 'I told you so.' Listen, WWE is the No. 1 brand and will always be No. 1…There's no way in heck anybody's gonna catch up to them. If this company… I'm not daring them, I'm just saying it's not bad to be No. 2. If you're gonna set out to be No. 1, then you're gonna spend a lot of F'n money,"
Jason's Take
WWE will always be around in some way, shape, or form. WCW Monday Nitro wasn't going to catch WWE. Paul Heyman famously said that Nitro would be dead in 3 months. While the odds will be stacked against AEW, never say never.
Ashley Massaro Passes Away At 39
In a bit of shocking news, former WWE Diva, Ashley Massaro, has passed away at 39 according to TMZ sports. Massaro was transported from her home in Suffolk County, NY to a nearby hospital where she died early Thursday morning.
Jason's Take
WOW. Only 39 years old, 3 years older than myself. Thoughts and prayers to her family in this difficult time

DeMarco's WWE Smackdown YouTube Performance Report (5/14/19)
Did the blue brand deliver on YouTube? Well…Roman did!
Greg DeMarco's look at the WWE Smackdown YouTube performance for the May 14th broadcast!
As we all know, social media and other outlets have become a huge means of drawing in interaction and viewers for WWE. Most people will point to television ratings like they did during the Monday Night Wars in the late 1990's, however that can be skewed with so many various means of watching today that do not include cable television. As such, YouTube has joined social media as a metric as important to WWE as television ratings (if not more). The weekly WWE Smackdown YouTube Performance Report is a look into that success metric.
As you've become accustomed to, here is this week's WWE Smackdown YouTube Performance Report, compiled overnight Wednesday night (a few hours more than 24 hours after Smackdown went off the air), for the 5/14/19 edition of WWE Smackdown:
- Roman Reigns & The Usos vs. Shane McMahon, Elias, Daniel Bryan & Erick Rowan – 1.203 million views
- Shane McMahon & Elias attack Roman Reigns & The Miz – 1.057 million views
- Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn attack Kofi Kingston – 601k views
- Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair history/feud video package – 384k views
- Finn Balor vs. Andrade vs. Ali vs. Randy Orton – 369k views
- Asuka & Kairi Sane vs. Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville – 310k views
- Shane McMahon makes the handicap match – 111k views
- Lacey Evans promo for Money In The Bank – 82k views
- Ms. Money In The Bank promo – 56k views
- Aleister Black promo – 53k views

Greg DeMarco's WWE Smackdown YouTube Ratings Analysis
No numbers comparison as I wasn't able to compile last week's videos. Roman Reigns delivered big time this week, with two videos both over a million views. Those were the only two videos to cross 1 million.
The overall views were down, much like Raw on YouTube this week. But Raw's TV ranking improved, and it was not opposed by the NBA. That said, if you're WWE you have to be happy with the performance of Kevin Owens and Kofi Kingston.
My favorite video…The IIconics on commentary!
What did the YouTube results for this week tell you?

14 years later - I finally got into Metal Gear Solid
on 09.22.2012 (server time)
A few weeks ago Sony finally launched PSone compatibility to the Vita much to everyone's delight, despite the somewhat botched job of it all it still meant I was able to finally give Metal Gear Solid a go, a series that I have barely touched throughout my gaming history. Hell the most contact I had with the series was the MGS4 demo which left me running away confused by it all, from then on I'd continue to see it here and there in the gaming news and it always intrigued me. With the somewhat recent PSN summer sale I decided to finally give the series a go especially since I wouldn't have to play it blown up all ugly on my TV.
I'll be honest in that I somewhat expected myself to never finish it, I've started many classic games in the past to see what all the fuss is about only to stop playing half-way through but this time was different, I was loving the game despite my doubts and reservations and was able to see it to completion. However I wondered how I enjoyed it so much, don't get me wrong I'm happy that I was able to get into it but stealth games have rarely delivered any enjoyment for me and I have very short tolerance and attention span for cutscenes, how is it this 14 year old game was able to worm its way into my heart? The answer has a lot to do with this generation.
Let's face it games aren't exactly known for their subtly, many tend to focus on mass amounts of violence and explosions, it's all guns blazing with heroic manly action heroes usually pumping bullets into whatever opposing army of the week is on stand. But there's nothing wrong with that, despite its overuse and over-saturation there's still games like that I can easily enjoy such as Gears of War.
But it's precisely because of its prevalent over-use in the gaming world that makes MGS all the more appealing to me in this current day.
Which is amusing considering what the game is all about, playing as the legendary, iconic Solid Snake who not only looks bad ass but is also highly trained in the fields of combat. You're out to stop a terrorist group which features a colorful rogue of characters with the threat nuclear war and the feature of a huge fucking robot war machine ready to devastate the world and only you as Solid Snake can save the day! But as we know the story isn't executed as some grand heroic adventure, quite the opposite in fact, this is no celebration of violence.
Due to the prime genre use of stealth you'll quickly find violence to be discouraged and only as a last resort act. Here you have to avoid what all look like everyday soldiers, the everyday soldiers that we frequently shed to pieces with ease in current games. In fact alert to your presence means a wealth of soldiers will rush in to kill you which can quickly get over-whelming. One grievance I had with the game was precisely how difficult it could be at times to shake all the soldiers off and get out of alert mode.
You can stand your ground and shoot them down but this will only save you a few pixels worth of health and time, you're reduced to running away and hiding as best you can, which could be viewed as a cowardly act in the face of today's manly tough heroes, especially for a man with such a legendary status. This creates a strong contrast to what I'm use to, a strong contrast to what I tend to expect from games. The gameplay is perfectly made so that the idea of running in with the biggest and strongest gun you have to tear everything up is actually a bad idea and not all that satisfying, the most you can do is take soldiers out silently with your pistol but hesitate or take too long and you'll be met with a group of soldiers once more.
There are no heroic brave battles here, only survival.
Another thing that we commonly see in games today are heroes who run around shooting people bigged up to be great inspiring people that we can either idolize or worship. Characters such as Nathan Drake are actively encouraged to be built up as likeable, relatable, legendary and heroic figures. The actions of these heroes are rarely questioned. With Snake however you have a different story, I'll admit from the start I was expecting a character living up to his legendary status yet straight away we have him dis-crediting his status.
Almost every character in the game is aware of him and he's sometimes met with enthusiasm and excitement just to his very presence, yet we always have him down-playing that fact, he actively separates himself from his legend, that the reality is not as pretty as the myth. Despite his expertise in what he does he holds no pride in it, he carries with a slight burden of guilt whilst never getting too mopey about it that we get tired of him. He isn't someone who doesn't care about killing people but has distanced himself from having the emotional capacity for such a thing.
Simply put killing is all he really knows in life, it's his only purpose, the only identity that matters. He has no family to love or lose, he claims to have never been interested in love or anyone else's life, as Meryl said he's a lonely man. Isolated from being able to connect to anyone on any deep level. The only people he can have some frail form of similar connection to are those he has to gun down, characters like Psycho Mantis and Sniper Wolf have also known only death and murder in their lives, all of which who themselves are also incredibly lonely.
Snake is no hero and is rarely built up as one, he's a walking example of that the legend rarely matches up with the truth. There is no glory in murder.
But that brings me onto my next point, the villains of the story, the big bad's and the bosses. Again taking the stereotype of heroes in games today the defeat of a boss is often met with pride, glee and a level of happiness to be rid of them. Again take Lazarevic from Uncharted 2 for example, Drake and us the player aren't exactly sad to see him die. A more recent example would be the bosses of Lollipop Chainsaw, obviously a tone of being sad when bosses die would be entirely out of place within the game but again it's all about the victory.
However with Snake there isn't much victory or pride to be had when he puts one of the members of FOXHOUND to their grave. Victory isn't full of honor here, when we first start fighting Psycho Mantis he comes across as nothing more than an insane, freaky mad man who's here to vibrate your controller and throw chairs at you. Yet in his final moments we discover that he just like Snake carries his own burdens, a tragic past that never ceases to haunt him, one that has clearly pulverized any potential faith for humanity.
He's been subjected to the darkest and most deprived corners of the human mind throughout his life, the only thing saving him from that being his mask, however both options lead him down a lonely life.
We see him as a pitiful figure who also has existed for nothing else besides murder, yet his final moments involve him helping Snake, his first time helping someone, he expresses it as being "kind of nice", an inkling of change within him appears ever so briefly as he quickly descends into death. The result left me feeling sorry for the character, although I felt relief that the fight was over I didn't hold all to much enthusiasm for my victory, something that Snake himself shares as he holds no joy in his win.
Sniper Wolf I also felt pity for and was quite upset to see leave. Despite the fact she shoots down Meryl into a temporary crippled state would argue that we as the player and Snake should hold a level of hatred against her but it becomes evident she isn't some blank evil character out for blood. Otacon reveals a softer side to her. She has a kind affection wolves and dogs leading to her refusal of letting them be put down, she also displays some kindness towards Otacon (which leads to him falling in love with her.)
We see these main members of the terrorist group aren't just extreme shades of black and white, again like Snake all she may know is killing but she carries this with zero joy or enthusiasm. When she shot down Meryl she intentionally didn't end her, she refuses to kill for sport. In the end these are people who are victims of war and murder, it has plagued them from their early lives and now they themselves continue the bloodshed however they've ended up incredibly sad and lonely people, waiting to be put out of their misery.
As Sniper Wolf put it
"I wasn't waiting to kill people... I was waiting for someone to kill me."
These characters end have a somewhat sombre tragic yet bitterly sweet end, even the two other boss characters Raven and Liquid I share a sense of sadness for. Despite them being Snake's enemies I'm not happy to see them go and almost wish they had the chance to live and turn over a new leaf, but war is shown to be unkind, such is the reality.
The only boss character I felt victory for defeating was Ocelot, perhaps it's a testament to the voice acting or the writing or maybe even both but right from the get go it's made evident he's a man who has no qualms with killing, he clearly takes joy in a what he calls a 'good fight'. In fact we never even truly defeat him as the Ninja quickly appears to slice off his hand which ends in Ocelot scurrying off with it. This ties up nicely at the end as it's made clear this is a character to hate and be positioned as the true villain.
In the end the point I'm trying to get across is that this isn't a game that takes luxury in violence and murder in both its gameplay and storyline, something which we rarely see today and for me personally made it all the more compelling. Despite Snake's slowly tarnished image throughout the game we never come to dislike him since we see a change in him that is able to bloom before his death. Meryl isn't just the "get the girl" character, she of all people manages to get past Snake's armour, to get past his defences and walls and see the real man behind the legend.
She's one of the few characters in the game who although is trained in combat she will hesitate before she pulls the trigger, she will shake with terror and glimpse of disgust at the very action of murder which leads to her not loving the idolized legendary idea of Snake but instead loving the man behind the legend. He connects to her on a deeper level than we see with anyone else in the entire game, he's blunt and honest yet confused by what he feels however by the end of the game he's bloomed enough to even tell Meryl his true name and finally diverts off the path of killing, because it's no longer the only thing he knows, he no longer needs to live for himself, now he has someone to live for.
Metal Gear Solid is a game that took me 14 years to finally play I loved every moment of it, it not only brought up interesting topics and characters but also never took its self too seriously with plenty of intentional and unintentional humour to help lighten the mood. I can only hope that I love it even more as I go onto play the various sequels.
Hopefully I didn't come across too preachy or pretentious here but I'll never forget my time with this game and to me it's truly impressive and remarkable that even today a game from the PSone era can still live an effective mark. You could even say "IT TOOK A WHILE BROTHER" I'll leave now...

A Buckhaven High School teenager's ventures into competitive cooking have so far proved a recipe for success.
On the menu for S5 youngster Sophie Beaton is an appearance next month in the regional final of the Rotary Young Chef competition.
The event takes place in Dundee on March 7 and Sophie qualified with a victory in the district final, held recnetly in the same city.
Along with Rotary District entrants from the whole of Scotland north of the Firth of Forth, she had to prepare a three-course meal for two people on a £15 budget.
Sophie, of Leven, won through with a starter of celery and parsley soup with a poached egg, a main course of chicken breast with a cheese stuffing, including chorizos, asparagus and barbecue sauce, and dessert consisting of a dark chocolate fondant with white chocolate centre.
Back in December, Sophie won the local competition, organised by Rotary Club of Leven, at which she and runner-up Ellie Brannan were selected for the district final.
One of the judges in the Leven contest, Dave Edwards, senior lecturer at Fife College, had mentored her ahead of the district competition, which was a great bonus to the Rotary Club, helping to keep the enthusiasm going and providing encouragement for those taking part.
In Dundee, Sophie (16) was accompanied by her mum and her sister plus school staff, including her home economics teacher, Jennifer Sherwin.
Sophie and one other young chef will be representing Leven's Rotary District at the regional stage.
It will feature two contestants from each of the three Scottish Rotary Districts, plus a fourth district from the north east of England.
If she wins, a trip to Wrexham in Wales for the next stage awaits her.
Sophie and Ellie Brannan have also been invited to participate in Rotary Club of Leven's youth evening on May 5, helping hotel staff to prepare their respective dishes.

Here at SAFS we kicked started our New Year with a big trip to the Pantomime.
On Friday 22nd January 2016, we treated a group of our adult service users, along with a few of our Parents & Carers support group, to a trip to the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre to watch Peter Pan.
As the curtains opened there was a great applause of excitement from all our adults as they had been excited all week to go to the Pantomime.
A trip to the Pantomime had been a request from all the adults themselves.
Thus those who came with us were all thrilled to see the giant scary crocodile and the evil Captain Hook played by John Altman, well known for his role as 'Nasty Nick; in Eastenders.
Overall the pantomime had been a great success, as all of our adults loved the surprise guest act, being the Chuckle brothers; Paul and Barry.
Hence the whole journey home all that was heard was "Ellooo" in a northern accent.

- For the variant appearing in the games, see Brock (game).
Brock is originally the Gym Leader of Pewter City Gym but he decided to follow his dream to become the greatest Pokémon Breeder he can be. After his defeat from Ash Ketchum, he quickly gave up his title. He accompanied Ash on his journey for quite some time, all while trying to live up to his goal. He currently wishes to be a great Pokémon Doctor.
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally, such as these examples from what happened in the anime: a hit with Charmander's Flamethrower in The Ninja Poké-Showdown, when being hit in the back of the head by Arbok's tail in Who Gets to Keep Togepi?, and when he makes a face for Larvitar in A Crowning Achievement. This has been the center of fan attention for a long time. He also has spiky brown hair and tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the anime (until Iris in the Best Wishes series).
Along with Tracey, Cilan, and Kiawe, Brock is the tallest of Ash's traveling companions and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager. Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn three different outfits, all of which have had the colors orange, green and brown with blue shoes.
Original series
In the Original Series, he wore an orange t-shirt, a lime green cargo vest with 4 pockets, a dark brown belt with a gold buckle and dark red pockets, brown jeans, and blue-gray sneakers with white trim.
His original outfit is also seen during flashbacks throughout the anime series' run.
Advanced Generation
In the Advanced Generation Series, he appeared in a new outfit, which consisted of a brown short-sleeved jacket with orange trim, a green short-sleeved undershirt, grayish-brown cargo pants, and indigo sneakers with light blue trim.
Diamond & Pearl
In the Diamond and Pearl series, he wears yet another new outfit, consisting of a green collared shirt, an orange vest with brown trim, khaki pants with knee stitching, and blue high-top sneakers.
Sun & Moon
In the Sun & Moon series, Brock's old outfit in the Original series has minor changes. His lime green cargo vest lacks the two pockets in the edge of both sides making his vest turned into a denim vest.
During the Gym battle against Kiawe as he mega evolves his Steelix into Mega Steelix, Brock was in shirtless which he removes both his lime green vest and his orange t-shirt making him resemble his counterpart in both games, Pokémon Red and Blue as he reveals to wear a necklace with a Key Stone embedded as a pendant where he later removes it to activate his Key Stone to mega evolve his Steelix.
During his and Misty's visit in Alola, he wears a cloudy blue sky and plain landform-theme buttoned shirt, beige short pants and blue shoes.
Brock is considered the most mature, wise, and levelheaded of the main characters and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any Pokémon battle, and often explains them to the other characters, probably because he was once a Gym Leader. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling.
Brock always carries books and maps with him and thus, is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in the Advanced Generation series this role was mostly taken over by Max, who owns a PokéNav. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as Potions, Pokémon food, and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in The School of Hard Knocks, the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his bag was demonstrated, as he pulled a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.
Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely when he catches sight of a beautiful woman. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship, which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as Wilhelmina, Temacu, Natalie, Lucy, Holly, Autumn, Narissa and Lizabeth, but most others do not notice him or are not interested.
No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. He also likes both Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of his friends or others around him, especially Misty and Max who both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably Croagunk, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women and dragged him off as well as punishment for his behavior.
His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development, and his role has generally been one as support for other main characters, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action of the series. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like Pokémon training and Pokémon Contests, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. This caused him to question if he was actually pursuing his dreams like his friends were near the end of the Diamond & Pearl series and ultimately lead to him deciding to become a Pokémon Doctor instead. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to Team Rocket's quest to capture Pikachu, in which both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail.
Upon his family, he is very caring towards his siblings including his younger brother, Forrest and has a great respect for his father, Flint. In A Family that Battles Together Stays Together! and Grating Spaces! He also shows his anger and disdain towards his mother, Lola who is responsible for remodeling the Pewter Gym into an aquatic gym, as well as her ditzy behavior.
Brock has skillful knowledge about Pokémon, due to being once a gym leader also his knowledge about them is the reason why Uxie chose to connect with him, which makes his battling skills very amazing as well. He can cook awesome food for People and Pokémon, who all love it, also he has good fishing skills, sewing skills and cleaning skills.
When Ash arrives in Pewter City, following getting his Pokémon healed at the Pokémon Center by Nurse Joy, he travels to the Pewter City Gym to face Brock for his Boulder Badge. However, due to Brock specializing in Rock-type Pokémon, Pikachu is no match for Onix, and Ash is forced to surrender the match. After Ash loses to Brock, a stranger offers to help make his Pikachu stronger. Pikachu (after being hooked up to a local hydro-power station) becomes stronger and manages to defeat Geodude, but Onix remains too strong. Onix has Pikachu in a body bind; however, Pikachu's previous electric attack ravaged the gym, which set off the fire sprinklers, weakening Onix. Though Pikachu is able to then damage Onix further, before Ash can deal the finishing blow, he is restrained by Brock's younger siblings, demanding he leave Onix alone, before Brock orders them to stand down. Though Ash technically won, he declines the badge on the grounds that he unfairly beat Brock, but Brock later catches up to him and presents him with the Boulder Badge anyway, saying that he wants Ash to fulfill his dream of becoming the best. The stranger that first helped Ash reveals himself to be Brock's father, Flint. Flint has a tendency to keep people in the dark about who he is.
After entrusting Flint with taking care of the gym and the rest of his siblings, Brock is now free to train himself and joins Ash and Misty on their journey. Since then, he travels with Ash and Misty on his many adventures. In the Orange Islands series, he leaves the team to join Professor Felina Ivy but mysteriously returns to Pallet Town when Ash wins the Orange League Championship. When asked what happened, Brock just rolled up into a ball and replied, "I don't wanna talk about it" or "Don't mention that name". This would happen every time someone mentioned Professor Ivy. Rejoining Ash and Misty, Brock travels to Johto, where he continues to help Ash and Misty. Upon the conclusion of the Silver Conference, the three part ways, Brock heading back to Pewter City. It is there (in an episode of Pokémon Chronicles) that he discovers his estranged mother Lola (Mizuho in the original), who, because she is a Water-type Pokémon Trainer, has ruined the reputation of the Gym he defended so long ago and had ended up filling the gym with water (causing Brock to comically freak out and keep repeating "A LAKE!!!" when he first sees it).
By defeating his mother, he restores the Gym's reputation and proceeds to leave all his Pokémon (except Forretress) to his younger brother Forrest, before departing for the Hoenn region, where he catches up with Ash and his two new friends, May and Max.
The group travel across Hoenn and then return to Kanto to participate in the Battle Frontier. The group went their separate ways and Brock met up with Ash in Sinnoh. While there, they meet a new coordinator named Dawn and her partner Piplup, who joins them on their journey through Sinnoh.
During this time, both Brock's father, Flint (Munō in the original, who was also Brock's predecessor as Gym Leader), ran off again, and his oldest younger brother Forrest (Jirō in the original) took the role of Gym Leader in Pewter City, as well as the responsibility of caring for his many other younger siblings. Brock is the oldest of ten siblings, with five brothers and four sisters.
Brock is always well-equipped and is sometimes the voice of reason when Ash and Misty (and later, May and Dawn) get into an argument. He is also hardworking and is always willing to help others. Coupled with his experiences in taking care of others, Brock often prepares food and does most of the chores for the main characters. Brock is also exceptionally good at making food for Pokemon.
At the end of the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl series, Brock aspires to become a Pokémon Doctor, and work alongside Nurse Joy. After departing from Ash and Dawn, Brock returns home to Pewter City to train to become a Pokémon Doctor.
In the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl Special Episode 2, he's revealed to have photos of Ash, Misty, May, Max, Dawn, Piplup, and Pikachu to remind him of how much fun it was traveling with them. He also chooses his brother Forrest to replace him as Gym Leader so he can study to become a Pokemon Doctor.
In the Best Wishes episode Expedition to Onix Island!, Brock was mentioned by Dawn during their lunch break at the beach as Cilan wants to know who he is. Ash finally tells Cilan and Iris about Brock as his previous traveling companion and he currently studies as a Pokémon Doctor.
Brock was last seen along with Misty, May, Max and Dawn in The Dream Continues! when Ash remembers his friends throughout his journey before falling asleep for his next journey in the Kalos region.
In the Black and White Special, he encounters Cilan in a small town. He helps treat Pansage after it got hurt fighting a Gyarados. The two form a fast friendship and work together as they help Gyarados. As they part ways, they both realize they never asked for each other's name.
In the Sun & Moon series, Brock returns alongside Misty when Ash returns to Kanto along with his new Alolan friends in the Alola region as one of the special guests for their special curriculum class. Brock was first seen introduced himself to Lillie as a Pokémon doctor in-training while checking up Lillie's Alolan Vulpix who is discomfort from motion sickness. Brock tells her that her Vulpix will be fine which she thanked him for his actions. Upon his reunion with Ash, Brock flirts with a flight cabin attendant only to be pinched in the ear by Misty who scolds him that they came here to see Ash not to act like an idiot. Both he and Misty finally introduced themselves to Kiawe, Mallow, Sophocles, Lana, and Lillie. Both guide them within Professor Oak's laboratory and also release some Pokémon including his Geodude along with the Alolan ones who were released by Misty. Brock also restrains the Marowak he releases due to the strong rivalry towards Kiawe's Alolan Marowak but their rivalry never came to a halt. As everyone splits up to find Kiawe's Marowak and Lana's Popplio, Ash recalls to them about their previous journeys in Kanto and Johto regions until his reunion with his Bulbasaur. After finding both of their Pokémon, they were caught by the Meowth robot manned by Team Rocket. Brock and Misty release both Crobat and Staryu to aid Ash's Lycanroc to fight the robot as he let his Crobat unleashes its powerful Supersonic to counter Meowth's control allowing both Lycanroc and Staryu to destroy the robot with Accelerock and Bubble Beam before Bewear catches them in flight. He was among with the others who were put to sleep by Jigglypuff's Sing who emerges from the destroyed Meowth robot.
After the incident, they are seen eating at sunset during their welcoming party until the next day they bid farewell to both Delia and Professor Oak to depart to Cerulean City by bus where he is being asked by Ash about who runs the Pewter City Gym which he confirms that it was operated by his younger brother Forrest. When Misty reveals that her three sisters were absent at the Cerulean City Gym due to their travels, Brock becomes depressed as everyone gives him a hearty laugh.
Brock later battles both Sophocles and Lillie in a handicap by using his Geodude at the newly rebuilt Cerulean City Gym. Brock also tells Sophocles that electric attacks won't work on the ground type when he mistakes his Geodude being an Alolan type. When Lillie's Alolan Vulpix unleashes its Powder Snow, Brock let Geodude unleashes its newly learned Gyro Ball to disperse the attack, surprising them both.
Later on, Brock battles against Kiawe who releases his Turtonator in a Gym battle as he releases his Steelix. Ash was surprised to see Brock is even stronger than before as he cheers him and Kiawe on in the battlefield. His Steelix manages to withstand Turtonator's Flamethrower as takes it down using it's newly learned Gyro Ball followed by both Bind when it caught off guard and damaging it with Dig who attempts to use Dragon Tail. Brock taunts Kiawe for being desperate to win as he was knowledgable about the Z-Moves and wants to show his full strength. He later removes his vest and shirt to reveal his necklace with a Key Stone embedded as a pendant as he rips it to mega evolve his Steelix into Mega Steelix much to Kiawe's horrible shock. Despite his efforts to beat his Mega Steelix with Turtonator's Inferno Overdrive, Brock confidently let his Steelix to use his Stone Edge to defeat it immediately. Brock later serves as a referee in the battle against Ash and Misty. When Ash and his friends are about to return back to Alola, Brock gives Sophocles and Kiawe some Boulder Badge despite the latter's loss in their Gym battle. But before they depart back to the Alola region, Ash tells him and Misty to visit him sometime at Alola which they agreed.
Brock and Misty return to visit Ash and his friends in Alola after their classes in Pokémon School. When visiting the Pokémon Center, he became lovestruck on Nurse Joy only to be pinched in the ear by Misty. Brock then decides to stay at the Pokémon Center to help Nurse Joy. It was revealed that working at the Pokémon Center was harder than he thinks. Because of his assistance, Nurse Joy gives him a Comfey as a token of gratitude. After Ash and the others defeated Team Rocket, Brock sets up a tent outside on Professor Kukui's house to wait for Ash and Misty and he prepares a stew for dinner. As they arrived to see him, Misty's Psyduck pops out on her Poké Ball to eat their dinner much to Misty's annoyance.
The next day everyone compliments on Brock's cooking before visiting Kiawe's farm in Akala Island. When a wild Kangaskhan is defending it's child due to its injuries, Brock decided to tame it by releasing his Comfey given to him by Nurse Joy to soothes them with its move. Despite being scratched by a Kangaskhan, Brock manages to tame it so that its child be treated its injuries. Upon Olivia visits Ash and the others, Brock became lovestruck towards her as Olivia begins to have feelings towards Brock but was pinched in the ear by Misty. He and Olivia battle one-on-one between her Lycanroc and his Sudowoodo and the fight begins. Their fight were interuppted by Team Rocket who captures Ash and the group including their Pokémon. He and Olivia teamed up to fight the gigantic Team Rocket's Meowth robot by letting Lycanroc and Sudowoodo to hit it with Rock Slide and Low Kick combination. Brock then joins up with Olivia to unleashed the Z-Move Continental Crush in a heart shape to smash the robot in explosion before Bewear and Stufful took Team Rocket away and rescues Ash and the group including their Pokémon. Afterwards, they watched the fireworks display before he and Misty decided to return back to Kanto.

Running Gags
Over the course of the series, there have come to be a couple of recurring gags related to Brock that has become quite prominent.
One of the most notable running gags in the anime is that Brock makes advances and goes virtually love sick crazy on every girl his age or older, and is usually met by rejection, confusion, or being dragged away from them by Misty, Max, or his Pokémon, Croagunk. One of the several exceptions was Professor Ivy, the Pokémon Professor from the Orange Islands, with whom he spent some time away from the show. He later returns but refuses to explain why he left her, simply saying "Don't mention that name!" Pike Queen Lucy of the Battle Frontier in Tohjo Falls seems to have a liking towards Brock (partially because she has a soft spot for Pokémon with squinty eyes) almost traveling with him before Max interrupts. Other girls who had feelings for Brock include Wilhomena, Temacu, Natalie, Autumn, Narissa, Lizabeth and Holly. In the Sun & Moon series, the Kahuna Olivia also has feelings for Brock despite the latter became lovestruck on her appearance.
His crushes include the various Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys, which he can differentiate with ease based on very perceptive but minute observations. Because of this, he can spot imposter Joys and Jennys instantly. Other crushes are Rhonda, Rhoda.
Oatmeal Pokémon
Another one of the notable running gags is how Brock is forced to entertain an audience while other characters retrieve something which would typically be another Pokémon that would have been putting on a show for the current audience that has likely been stolen by Team Rocket. During the cases in which he does, such as he repeats one song (usually an English version of "Takeshi no Paradise", one of the Japanese ending themes) ad nauseam to the point that he is either booed offstage or loses interest in singing. He once revealed that the reason why he sings that song over and over is that it's the only song he knows. After Ash finished the Sinnoh league, Ash and Brock left back to Kanto and went their separate ways. In the Pokémon DP Special Episode 2, Brock is shown studying to become a Pokémon Doctor, and even has photos of Ash, Pikachu, Misty, May, Max, Dawn, and Piplup, reminding himself of how much he misses all of them.

He was afraid of the mansion and showed dismay and horror when they talked about advancing inside. He was fine once he found out that the ghosts were actually Shroomish, though. He was also fine on Ghoul Daze!, among other episodes.
- Brock's real dream is to become a Pokémon doctor. However in "Jirachi: Wish Maker", he said he wanted to become a magician because he could make "beautiful girls appear out of thin air".
- He can notice the small things that make each Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny physically different.

Drain chicken in colander and rinse well. In a large bowl, mix chicken, walnuts, mayo and sugar. Stir well! Slice grapes in halves and add to mixture. Stir to mix grapes. Add more mayo to make the consistency you like. Serve chilled with your favorite cracker or make into a sandwich.

This is also good using leftover fried chicken instead of the canned. If you have a couple of extra pieces left in a 'bucket', just debone the meat and chop it as coarse of fine as you like. Add the other ingredients and you have a quick fried chicken salad. The extra crispy bits in the bottom of the bucket can be added for even more flavor.
What brand name chicken was used? I bought some from sam's club & it was too tough & stringy. I like the recipe.
