Updates on the show, the news, and general stuff before I fly out of here to break the course record (again) at Hopkinton CC:
WHEEL OF GRILLED CHEESE: Today’s show gave me a million dollar idea. A national chain of grilled cheese and gefilte fish restaurants. I would call it “Cheeses Is Our Messiah”. Check out the video of today’s Guy Fieri live cheese fest (check the site Monday) at our cafeteria here. For some weird reason, Spaz was dry heaving every time a food substance touched his lips. Has to be the fact that he never actually gets to eat anything besides boiled chicken and Government cheese sandwiches.
DAMN YOU ZUCKERBERG: As you read this, Mark Zuckerberg is probably the richest man in the world. All anyone has been talking about is this Facebook IPO. In fact, when you’re out this weekend, just start talking about how many shares you bought and say something like “as far as IPO’s go normally for me, this is a homerun”. The lamest part of this whole thing is that the people who made Facebook worth 100 Billion dollars today have absolutely no hope of even smelling a chance of buying some of this stock. TD Ameritrade, for instance, is only selling shares to clients with a minimum $250,000 account balance. Do you think the Facebook addicted 99 percenters will call for Zuckerberg’s head when they figure this out? Me, either.
U-2 COULD BE A BILLIONAIRE: Speaking of 1 percenters, when this Facebook thing is done today, Bono will be the richest musician in the world. He owns 2.3% of Facebook stock, which will be worth a cool 1.5 Billion or so by the end of the day today. I think he has definitely found what he’s looking for.
SHOW MO THE MONEY: Spaz was definitely not Rod Tidwell like during Wednesday’s PRO VS MOE event at Harvard University. If you haven’t seen the video yet, watch it below:
Thanks to Julian Edelman and Ryan Mallet of the Patriots for reminding all of us that we definitely could not have been professional athletes.
I DEFINITELY DON’T WATCH “GLEE”: I know, I know….you don’t watch it. You’re always watching the B’s, or the C’s or the Pats or the Sox. Or “Game of Thrones”. But check out this newly released shot of Naya Rivera when she appeared on “Wild World of Spike” in 2007. You’ll look at her cheerleading skills in a whole new light. When you aren’t watching “Glee”.
Have a great weekend. If you’re out and you smell Pina Colada lube, it’s just Spaz’s breath.

ZUCKERBERG IS NOT THE ONLY ONE
THE APPARENT SHORT TERM FAILURE OF FACEBOOK AS A PUBLIC COMPANY, IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO CLUE AS TO WHAT THEY ARE DOING, THINK THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO RUN A COMPANY. IT REMINDS BE OF A CERTAIN CONSERVATIVE EX-RED SOX PITCHER, WHO RAILS AGAINST "GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS", YET WAS GIVEN $75 MILLION DOLLARS IN CORPORATE WELFARE, THAT HE CAN'T PAY BACK, BECAUSE HIS VIDEO GAME COMPANY HAS FAILED MISERABLY, AND IS NOW DEFUNCT. OF COURSE HIS INCOMPETENCE LED TO SCORES OF PEOPLE LOSING THEIR JOBS, AS IT ALWAYS DOES. THIS BRINGS TO MIND SOMEONE WHO HAS RUN A CERTAIN PIZZA ESTABLISHMENT INTO THE GROUND...YOUR SERVE, SHINE BOY...
