I was really disappointed that he didn't throw actual punches.

Was Walz booed at for the Springsteen bit? Am I out of the loop on something?
Springsteen concerts often sound like he's getting booed, because people are chanting BRUCE. That's probably why he said it too, to kinda clarify.
Thanks, makes sense!
They might have been yelling "BRUUUUUUCE". It confused me when I watched one of Springsteen's old concerts and thought the crowd was booing him.
I thought it was boos at first but it was definitely "BRRUUUUCCCEEEE!"
I think it was a good-natured jab and the boo was more for the idea of their governor going to Jersey to see Springsteen, but that's a guess and I bet someone local has a better take.
It wasn't booing. It's a Springsteen thing to chant BRUUUCE.
Thank you, that makes perfect sense.
Ms. Harris? Last time I checked shes married...
Ms is not Miss
"Missus" is pronounced as "Missiz" and abbreviated "Mrs."
"Ms" is another title of respect used to address a woman, and it's pronounced as "Miz". It's often used when a woman's marital status is unknown
It's also used in many places as just a default for women, like we use Mr. It seems that using Mrs. (and needlessly pointing out someones marital status) is getting outdated and probably should IMHO. It's how we treat men so I think it's fair.
Yea I like Ms. cause it’s just easier. All of them are Ms. I don’t want to differentiate Mrs. That’s pretty absurd.
Yeah, despite the fact that I personally use Mrs. for myself (both to honor the fight for my right to marry and to differentiate myself from my wife who uses Ms.) I don’t really use it for anyone else unless I know she prefers it. It’s outdated and on its way out
