Speaking of Richard, I haven’t shared this outside of my friend circle before, but today seems like a good day for it.

Earlier this year, Mike O’Malley was at an event & sent a video w/ someone who happened to be reading my AIRPLANE! book. A few minutes later, he sent a follow-up.

What a mensch.

#NowPlaying - Perry Como, 40 GREATEST

i’ve actually had this for a while, but I remembered it again when I re-watched the episode of THE MIDDLE when Brock wants to party with Axl at college and puts on Perry Como. (It’s like I’ve always said: the kids love the Perry Como.)

I anxiously await the reaction from Governor "Waltz."

See, that's how you use quotation marks: you put them around things that are inaccurate.

Truth Social Truth Social is America's

Trump just dropped a video on TruthSocial that A) looks completely AI-created and B) has narration from him which is, if not wholly AI-created, certainly AI-tweaked to make it sound way better than he currently sounds or has sounded in many months.

Friend: "Some of [Olivia Nuzzi's] past work has some quirky appeal to it that I can understand why people liked her, but then she keeps doing all of these things that SHOULD blow up her career, and they just...don't."

Me: "Ah, yes, this is what is known as 'the Trump effect.'"

The White House journalist who poses those questions might get removed from the pool and even fired from their outlet, but they would have several other jobs waiting in the wings for them for the courage.

Those guys can write some hooks. It was actually this single, which came out not long before the interview, that inspired me to want to talk to Gunnar. I was, like, "Holy SHIT, that chorus is AMAZING!"

Since my Facebook feed is filled w/ ads for the new memoir by the Nelson brothers, it seems like a good excuse to re-share the link to my epic 2011 interview with Gunnar Nelson, which was actually a blast. He even answered a question about their hair regimen in the '90s.

Yep, Frank's the best. He's used my Random Roles interviews as reference material in the past and thanked me for the info.

Really, bro? That's your big plan? To share this story?

Because you know what Summers did when this story broke? He left his job. So if you want to follow suit...

Literally just got back from the store and spent $45 on dinner for two nights. Half of that was for the meat.

I would've preferred to see it far sooner, but it's nice to *finally* see a member of the White House press corps snapping back a correction when a misstatement has been made.
