I’ll have a good one hopefully next week, but I need to get back to Hermana Weaselo. Or I’ll have to think it up myself. With that, on with the show.
So, as I’ve mentioned, I’m a regular on the religious Jewish wedding circuit. And that means I’ve seen a lot of things. Now, I’m not gonna get into the whats, wheres, or anything like that. Just the fun, non-actual music bit. Like the bar!
This is the bar from a recent gig.
Gotta say, that’s a new definition of “open bar.” As in, self-serve open bar. And though I’m not as well-versed as others in the clubhouse about what’s the good shit… I know there’s good shit. And again, self-serve. I mean, it wasn’t a huge wedding, but still, the concept of it. Of that kind of openness.
Also, this one’s obvious, but when not playing and if not in eyeshot/knowing that whatever is not being filmed, we are absolutely dicking around on our phones. Who’s watching sports, who’s on Instagram, who’s playing this or that. But as I said, that’s obvious.
What’s news, pussycat?
-Titans name 49ers director of player personnel Ran Carthon as their new GM.
–Brett Maher still kicking.
-Lions OC Ben Johnson to remain with team instead of pursuing other opportunities.
-Sources say Jets meeting with… oh god, Nathaniel Hackett for the OC position.
-Meanwhile, the Falcons are planning to interview Vic Fangio for defensive coordinator.
-And in good news, Damar Hamlin’s definitely in good spirits, as he’s been at the Bills facility constantly. He wasn’t at the game vs. Miami, but I’d put it at a 200% chance he’ll be there for the coin toss against the Bengals.
-JV footy: Florida QB commit Jaden Rashada wants a release from his intent to go to the school after a NIL deal fell through.
-While we were sleeping, Rafael Nadal loses in straight sets in second round of Australian Open. He aggravated a hip injury in the second set, but fought through it rather than midmatch retirement.

All right, do the things.
If you have questions about gig behind the scenes, go ahead and ask! Maybe I’ll do a post answering some of those questions at a later date.
I got all of my Christmas decorations packed up, all the ornaments off the tree. I just have to put them in the garage tomorrow and rassle the tree back into it’s box. Henry the cat is sad, he looooooves Christmas. He gets buzzed on the nip and lies under the tree looking at the lights. A stoner like his mama! Good night, my muppets, sweet dreams
Anyone grow up with one of these bad boys? I stayed at my mamaw’s a lot as a kid, and I’d stand over that thing in the winter.
I’m so old I remember when these were working, not decorations:
Fun fact, those radiators were designed to throw so much heat you would open a window. Why? something about airborne diseases and the need for fresh air during some sort of global pandemic.

My great grandfathers house had a big floor vent like that. I stood over it as long as I could.
I’ve seen large versions of these things used in storerooms and maintenance areas. Never heard anyone using one at home.
First hockey game in 2 weeks (travel and plague) Got the win, but I certainly played like I missed 2 weeks
Wife is complaining about the heating bill. She is turning the thermostat down to 66. I will be turning it up at night, then turning off the heat when I leave for work.
Edit: As my way of getting back and for her watching Criminal Minds all damn night with the sound on while I have to get up for work in the morning.
I’m expecting my gas bill to be ridiculous. Ours is set on 65. Gumby is wearing a sweatshirt and wrapped in a blanket. I think it feels great in here, and I wish it could be this cool in July.
We always keep our house cooler. I like wearing a sweater and having a blanket on the couch. Plus sleeping in a cold room is best
My wife likes it cold when she goes to bed like all right-thinking people, but also likes it being cold when she gets up in the morning, which is just insane.
:belch;
My dad is watching Nebraska vs Ohio State on delay. He keeps shit talking Ohio State.
I keep making that popping noise with my ankle that he hates.
Random fact I found out today, the actor that plays the gatekeeper who gets devoured in the beginning of jurassic park was a relief pitcher for the cubs
This is a dynamite date!
Accused? She should be celebrated as a visionary.
The next stage of Karen evolution.
Living the life!
That should be her dating profile if she’s single which, let’s face it, is highly unlikely.
That’s a keeper.
See my above comment, she’s married to another wrestler
Hate to break immersion, but this mug shot is not related to the story.
It’s a fake mug shot of wrestler becky lynch.
I offer this pic as compensation
In our defense, we only recognize mug shots of porn stars.
Tommy Lee Harvey Oswald?
I heard pornstars mugshots and I got creative
Now that should be a Wheel of Fortune before and after answer
Not sure Target sushi should evar be eaten
I got a question: what are the two most requested songs for encores?
Are you the most wanted Hebrew on the Jewish marriage circuit or the Hebrew that’s the most available at all times?
I’m not even Jewish! Most of us aren’t! Do not ask me what they’re saying because I have no idea.
Ran Carthon is a Star Wars character or a strength and conditioning drill.
He’s OURS SW character.
Good eye on strength & conditioning. TEN’s has to be the worst for several years running. Most players on IR the last two seasons, AJ Brown missed games, almost ruining Adoree’ Jackson pre-Giants,
/buried under anecdotal evidence
I once sent my really nerdy friend a quiz on random names, the test was to see if he could figure out which ones were star wars names and which ones were NFL players.
He got a perfect because he recognized the star wars names and just assumed the others were nfl players
