HELLO FROM MINNEAPOLIS!!!

I wanted this out earlier in the day but the plane did not have wifi and I just got to my hotel... no excuses!...(but that is my excuse...😊)

NoCal/Bay Area Friends & Fans--I am setting up a show for February up your way. I am bringing some amazing comedians you will love with me. Let me know what the easiest cities to get to are for you guys. Think Nation's Burgers locations--or would SF work? Lots of venues there...

Here is some stuff I like and hope you like too...

AS ALWAYS, REPLY TO THIS EMAIL WITH YOUR THOUGHTS AND COMMENTS AND STUFF YOU WANT TO SEE! I FEEDBACK IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED!

NFL WEEK 14

The rubber is hitting the road, and my Old Horse Sparky doesn't like the sound of that. There's been one too many glue factories in our rear-view mirror. Onward and upward!

Let's get to the picks!

  • THU | COWBOYS @ LIONS | PICK: LIONS

    • The Dan Campbell Bowl (he played for both teams, I believe) ends in the Lions biting off the kneecaps of the Cowboys.

  • SUN | TITANS @ BROWNS | PICK: BROWNS

    • Prime Time himself once again overshadows his kid, takes the reins at QB, scores the winning touchdown, and negotiates a contract for Shedeur all at the same time.

  • SUN | SEAHAWKS @ FALCONS | PICK: FALCONS

    • Kirk Cousins is good on Sundays but only in Minnesota and only in church. He prays harder than horny teen boys at a conversion camp, and his prayer is answered! Falcons win!

  • SUN | COLTS @ JAGUARS | PICK: COLTS

    • The Jaguars finally do something right--they lose a game. For the Chiefs to have any hope, we gotta have some of these...

  • SUN | COMMANDERS @ VIKINGS | PICK: VIKINGS

    • The Vikings... Is that convincing enough, Minnesota comedy fans??? I will keep rooting for any team whose fans come out to support me tomorrow night at Cinema Grill in New Hope! 7:30 pm.

  • SUN | BENGALS @ BILLS | PICK: BENGALS

    • Which Mahomes wannabe takes center stage and is crowned the greatest thing since sliced bread, only to lose to Mahomes in the AFC Championship game? I hope it's Allen. I think it will be Burrow.

  • SUN | SAINTS @ BUCS | PICK: BUCS

    • You can take off both of Baker's shoulders off, and there is no way he is losing to The Aint's. Plant the flag at midfield, Baker!

  • SUN | STEELERS @ RAVENS | PICK: STEELERS

    • Young Ernie Case enters the game for veteran QB Aaron Rodgers. He lines up the Steelers in the Single Wing formation--a new-fangled concept hitting the league--and he throws a perfect three-yard forward pass for the win.

  • SUN | DOLPHINS @ JETS | PICK: DOLPHINS

    • Why ruin the Jets season with wins? If football were like a cartoon, Tua would be one more concussion away from regaining all of his senses. Such is not the case, but the Dolphins win.

  • SUN | BRONCOS @ RAIDERS | PICK: RAIDERS

    • Raiders, I have always loved you. Even when you were throwing batteries at the Chiefs players, and the Hells Angels were in charge of security, I still admired you as an opponent. Please please, please beat the Broncos. That we can all agree on!!!

  • SUN | RAMS @ CARDINALS | PICK: RAMS

    • Saint Louis will be a double loser regardless of the winner. "Let's give them a team back," said literally no one in America. Go Rams!

  • SUN | TEXANS @ CHIEFS | PICK: CHIEFS

    • Don't even get me started with this game!!! Chiefs gotta have it! This is huge. And because they only win games every other week, this is a guaranteed victory!

  • SUN | EAGLES @ CHARGERS | PICK: CHARGERS

    • My heart hurts. I despise the Eagles. But rooting for the Chargers... OK! I can do it! 1, for my buddy Mike's dad, I am making the pick again. 2, I love Herbert. Tough as nails.. 3, I know if Chargers ever get really good under Harbaugh, he will not only leave them high and dry, but we will also discover 4,787 rules violations. Those are all solid reasons.

  • GIANTS ARE ON A BYE...

    • But that doesn't stop Jaxson from driving to the nearby ski lodge and challenging you to a ski race after stealing your girlfriend. I want my $2!!!

THE SHOW I AM WATCHING

It Happened One Night

It is fair to call this the first romantic comedy in film. Clark Gable plays a down-on-his-luck newspaper reporter, and Claudette Colbert is an heiress who keeps abandoning her own weddings. Through a series of misadventures and hijinks, including a very funny scene where Clark Gable "teaches" Claudette Colbert to hitchhike, they finally make it back across the East Coast to New York, where Colbert is set to wed the playboy King Wesley. Colbert has never been funnier (and that is saying a lot), and, in an odd true fact, Gable almost ruined the undergarment industry in America when he took off his shirt and revealed he didn't wear one. "According to the legend, men started to forgo wearing undershirts, which caused a sharp drop in sales for the industry. Some sources suggest the sales drop was so significant that the industry didn't recover until Marlon Brando helped make undershirts fashionable again decades later."

THING I BOUGHT

GoveeLife Smart Electric Kettle with Tea Infuser for Loose Leaf, 1.7 L Electric Tea Kettle with Brewing Program, Variable Temperature Control

Again, I never make any money by telling you things I buy, nor do I care if you even think about them again in your life. I am literally just telling you about dumb things I bought.

I have no idea why I bought this. I don't even like tea. But even I know I have to stop drinking Monster Zero energy drinks all day long. And I promised my sister Bridget, whom I absolutely adore, that I would be making serious efforts at being healthier. That being said, tea is still disgusting and no matter how fancy the maker and holder are (and this one is pretty cool), it's still tea... I miss the days when my teas came from "Long Island"... 😊

CLIP OF THE WEEK

This one is a little older and I was pretty green--both physically and as a comedian! :) But I still think it's kind of funny.
