1. Favorite Video – AutoTune the News 8 (with T-Pain)

2. Favorite Computer ProgramTuneUp for iTunes

From the site: Who is “Unknown Artist”? What is “Track 01″? Find out with Clean. There’s nothing more annoying than a music library littered with “Unknown Artists”, “Track 01s”, or the same artist labeled multiple different ways, i.e. “Led Zepplin vs. LEDZEPLIN vs. zePPlin”. Clean is the must-have tool for anyone with missing or inaccurate ID3 tags in their iTunes music collection. TuneUp will automagically fill in missing metadata like artist, song name, album, release year and genre.

3. Favorite Tennis Shot – Roger Federer

The 6 Most Unnecessary Things in Life

September 17th, 2009 - Uncategorized - 18 Comments »

Here is a list of some societal norms that always leave me thinking one thing and one thing only: Is this really necessary?

Pronunciation guide on a Mexican Restaurant menu
Have you seen these? Look, I may be a Gringo, but I know how to pronounce BUH-REE-TOE.

Radio Shack forearm-length receipt
The other day I bought an adapter for my TV that was smaller than my pinky toe. Thankfully, my receipt was long enough to be used as a pageant sash.

Land lines
I know, I know. What if my cellphone is dead and there is an emergency at home? Look, the chances of my wife and I both having dead cell phones and both not being able to find our chargers are smaller than Bryan Allain’s chances of beating me in our Twitter challenge.

Gas pump zip code requirement
I have nothing to say about this. I’ll never understand it.

***
[Removed for insensitivity. Sorry if I offended anyone.]

ESPN Classic
I love sports highlights as much as the next guy, but entire games? Who has time to sit and watch the 1982 AFC Championship in its entirety? And more importantly, who the freak cares?

What else needs to be added to this list?

Oh, and make sure you come back for The Weekly Six tomorrow. There are a few things I’m really excited about sharing with you.

24 Parody with Lanny Donoho

September 15th, 2009 - Uncategorized - 8 Comments »

A few months ago, I was asked to be in a 24 parody with Lanny Donoho for his summer camp down in Florida. I may be biased, but I think it’s one of the best produced 24 parodies I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen at least two). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Tripp produced it.

I Already Know a Lot About You…

September 10th, 2009 - I Already Know a Lot About You - 28 Comments »

(I’m warning you: This may become a series. I had such a great time reading your comments last time that I thought I’d do it again, you know, to get more brilliant comments.)

…if you’ve yelled “Git-r-done” in the last 48 hours.

…if you wear denim shirts.

…if your favorite TV show was created by Tyler Perry.

…if your vanity license plate reads “MY STANG”

…if you insist on playing guitar in a room full of people.

…if you repeat the joke I just told without giving proper credit.

…if you still talk about that pass you threw against Central senior year.

…if you have a tattoo higher than the collar of your shirt.

…if you just got back from Captain D’s.

…if we just met and you immediately want to talk about politics or theology.

…if you and your spouse wear matching shirts.

…if you still wear your class ring.

…if you’d rather play 21 (with defenders) than Jump 21 (no defenders).

…if you wear boots with shorts.

…if you do a palm explosion after a fist pound.

Your turn. What else tells you a lot about a person?
