Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Notes from the Bandstand

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.

Sure, there’s other games, but nobody here’s watching Nobody Beats the Wiz vs. the Knicks on MSG. Or has CBS Sports Network.

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.
