My review of the Wyndham Microtel in Ceres, California. I did not expect to find four-star accommodation in this "suburb" of Modesto, which appears to be Maverick's definition of a "target-rich enviroment" if you are a person who fucks cows. I did, however, expect that I might be lucky enough to

INT. RECORDING STUDIO - DAY A harried-looking producer negotiates with two young men. PRODUCER: ...it's not that I don't appreciate both of you turning up, it's just that I don't know if you can both fit in there, to be honest. TEDDY BRIDGEWATER: Nah, we'll make it work. JOSH MCCOWN: It's not like one of

He sits nervously, his feet swing back and forth three inches above the floor. TRACY WOLFSON: Now Doug,

I'm pressed for time, so there will sadly be no introductory sketch for Request Line this week. Last week's theme was "Makin' Movies" and quite naturally that topic bled into songs about Hollywood. So I thought I'd extend that theme into this week and make this week's topic all cities. Since

Roger Goodell’s Reported Time of 5.41s in the 40 Yard Dash is a Disgraceful Lie

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly - March 8, 2018March 8, 2018

Like many people who were fairly fast runners in their youth, I thought I'd be capable of running the forty yard dash in less than five seconds. Sure, there's plenty of NFL-caliber players in the NFL who can't, but most of those are offensive linemen and run-stuffing nose tackles. But

Welcome to yet another edition of DFO Radio. Last week, Hollywood insiders with a passing interest in sports waited with bated breath to find out whether Kobe Bryant would be offered membership into an exclusive club that includes Roman Polanski, Harvey Weinstein, Dustin Hoffman, and Casey Affleck. Fortunately for Kobe,

INT. DFO PRODUCTION OFFICE - DAY. A pair of sleazy Hollywood producers are deep in conversation with an NFL tight end.

So apparently Kevin Smith (the filmmaker, not the former Lions running back) suffered a pretty serious heart attack on Sunday. He was brought to Glendale Hospital which is a stone's throw away from where I live. It's so close that I even thought about walking the short mile over to

Like many Americans, I'm a bit obsessed with the implosion of our current White House administration. So much so that I have attempted to restrict my consumption of political news by only allowing myself to read about it while I'm on the toilet (as I feel a Venn diagram of
