This is another big from my “fake talk show” the other night.  These are AT&T Rejected iPhone Apps.  I hope you enjoy and aren’t too easily offended.

Here is the monologue I wrote for my talk show at the iO West on Sunday night.  I did a 15-minute show and I’ve got a few clips for you guys.  Hope you like Mackenzie Phillips jokes.

I am going to be performing my own LIVE Talk Show, THIS SUNDAY NIGHT, September 27th, at the iO West. This is my talk show portfolio that I’ve written as part of my talk show writing workshop.

It’s free and there will be free food and drinks, so come on down to see my very own fake talk show.  It will be short, I think it will be funny and I hope you can make it.

If you want to come see the show, let me know on Facebook.  Thanks!

I’m not sure if anybody out there is betting on the NFL, but if you’re looking for my input, you probably shouldn’t be betting on the NFL. Anyway, here goes my really quick look at Week 2:

Oakland (+3) over KANSAS CITY - The Raiders looked pretty feisty on Monday Night and I can’t buy any of the Chiefs QBs.

Houston (+6.5) over TENNESSEE - I think the Titans win this one, but Houston was too much firepower.

JETS (+3.5) over New England - I don’t know why the NFL has to torture the Jets with the Patriots every year in week 2. This game really determines which direction this season is going to go for the Jets.

GREEN BAY (-9) over Cincinnatti - The Packers are for real, the Bengals are in real trouble.

DETROIT (+9.5) over Minnesota - Brett Favre is not going to be up for a shootout with Calivin Johnson and Matthew Stafford, this could be the biggest upset of the newborn season.

PHILADELPHIA (Even) over New Orleans - I love the Saints offense, but I think that Philly’s defense finds a way to get it done, even without McNabb.

ATLANTA (-6) over Carolina - Is there any quarterback in the league with more pressure on him besides Jake Delhomme? I think not, especially when the Panthers start off 0-2.

St. Louis (+9.5) over WASHINGTON - You never want to play a team in the NFL the week after they get shut out. I think they get Steven Jackson the ball and make a game out of this.

JACKSONVILLE (+3.5) over Arizona - I just don’t have any faith in our defending NFC Champions, I think Jacksonville gets a win this week.

Seattle (+1.5) over SAN FRANCISCO - This might be my lock of the week. Love the Seahawks in this NFC worst matchup.

BUFFALO (-5) over Tampa Bay - The Bills (and their fans) are pissed about that debacle on Monday Night. Tampa is without Antonio Bryant and I think this one gets out of hand.

DENVER (-3) over Cleveland - The Browns could be my pick for worst team in the NFL and I don’t like them on the road.

Baltimore (+3) over SAN DIEGO - I’m loving Joe Flacco and the Ravens right now and I was not impressed from what I saw from the Chargers vs. the Raiders

Pittsburgh (-3) over CHICAGO - Pittsburgh always figures out a way to get a win, I think they figure out a way to win by three points.

DALLAS (-3) over Giants - I think there’s just too much juice in the building for the Giants to crash Jerry Jones’ housewarming party.

Indianapolis (-3) over MIAMI - I think that Rex Ryan exposed Chad Pennington in that wild card playoff game last January. The book is out on the Dolphins and I think it’s an ugly year for the fins.

I hadn’t blogged in a little bit after I fell behind when I went to New York and then got caught up in the first weekend of football, but I had to jump back in with some observations from last night’s 2-hour Big Brother finale.  All in all, I think it was a good season that kept me watching until the end, so here are 5 observations about last night’s finale:

1.  Julie Chen’s Wardobe:  Was Julie Chen wearing a snuggie?  Seriously, WTF?  I know she’s pregnant, but I believe the maternity clothes industry has done
a fair job of closing the gap between regular clothes and a blanket with sleeves.  I thought that maybe it was made of plastic in case her water broke.  For the record, I realize that this is not an extremely observation, because there are 14,900 google search results for “julie chen snuggie”: http://www.google.com/search?q=julie%20chen%20snuggie&hl=en&ned=us&tab=nw

2.  Jordan’s win:  If it’s possible for someone to be the smartest player to never win Survivor, could Jordan be the dumbest player to ever win Big Brother?  Don’t get me wrong, I loved Jordan on the show and I was rooting for her last night… but the girl is not exactly the sharpest tool in the Big Brother house (that’s Jessie, by the way).  In the end, I think Jordan won because dumb and honest will
always triumph over dumb and dishonest. 

3.  Jessie Hates Natalie:  Jessie is really pissed at Natalie.  Why was that, again?  Did we ever get any explanation of what happened in between Jessie and Natalie being BFF in the house to Jessie not voting for him.  I’m assuming that it has something to do with Lydia and I’m theorizing that Lydia told Jessie that Natalie said “he isn’t really THAT ripped”.

4.  Ronnie is the root of all evil?:  Ronnie was great television for the four weeks he was on the show and I missed him after he left, but Ronnie is NOT the root of all evil.  I’m pretty sure that the root of all evil does not cry hysterically a half dozen times during four weeks in the Big Brother house.

5.  Kevin should’ve won:  Kevin, you should’ve been the winner, but alas, you are not.  I think Kevin’s big mistake came when he evicted Michelle instead of pairing up with Michelle against Natalie.  He could have assured that Michelle and Natalie would never have taken each other to the finals and he could’ve beat Michelle since everybody hates her.  One more thing, just why does everybody hate Michelle?  She seems a little annoying but everybody in the house hated her and they never really told us why.  Maybe she was the one who started the rumor that Jessie isn’t really THAT ripped.
