I love to laugh… growing up in NYC on the weekends I would grab friends and head to Dangerfeld’s comedy club. Over the years of going to see the shows I was lucky enough to catch Rodney at one of the shows. He signed napkins for each of us, ragged on the comedians, and commented how he owned this joint and gets no respect.
So here are 5 comedy specials on Netflix worth checking out…
Louis CK – Live at the Beacon Theater — Louis talks a lot about his life as a dad and just people in general. This set is amazing and will have you laughing your sides off.
Bill Burr – I’m Sorry you feel that way — I heard Bill first on the Opie & Anthony Radio show… and since then I’ve been a fan. This set is really funny goes into pop culture which had me in tears.
Chris D’Elia – Incorrigible — You’ve most likely seen Chris on one of the 40 million ads for his great show in NBC undateable. In this set he talks about how much fun the NFL could be with real animals… I had to pause the special to catch my breathe and refill my drink.
Iliza Shlesinger – Freezing Hot — Funny women in comedy is becoming common place (I think a lot in part to Tina Fey). Iliza does a great set about hashtags and a common problem of always being cold.
Aziz Ansari – Live at Madison Square Garden — Aziz could be one of the smartest comedians out there… This special is a little briany at times but still worth 58 minutes of your life.
Any driver knows that in today’s tech-oriented world, it can be tricky to balance the flow of everyday cell phone usage with distraction-free driving. On one hand, it’s not safe to attempt phone calls, texts, and the like while behind the wheel, but on the other hand it’s hard to cut connection from the people and apps (like music, maps, etc.) that can be helpful while on the road. Thankfully, building on their long history of driver safety and technological innovation, Chevrolet has a solution for the tech-addled driver: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration.
For the 2016 model year, Chevrolet will offer Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility in 14 different models, more than any other auto brand on the market. The technology will allow drivers to display select pre-approved iPhone/Android apps (Maps, Music, Messages, Phone, and more) on their cars’ dashboard display screen via an included MyLink wire that plugs directly into the device. Once connected (which literally only involves plugging your phone in– no extra app needed!) the apps will appear in large form on the display screen, where the driver can select the one he or she wants, and utilize either a large print (for easy visibility) or entirely hands-free version of the app.
Below, you can check out a list of the cars that will include Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support:
Usually I get pitched dozens of items a day, many of them say we have a kickstarter going – usually I just stop reading there but there was something different in the way Lightup talked about what they’re doing. It also helped that they’ve successfully proven in a prior kickstarter that kids can play and learn with their system.
I received a Lightup edison kit to review the interactive building and the idea would my 6.5 year old play with it. I’m happy to report not only did he get it but he loved building circuits and having an ipad app to help guide him when he was getting a little stuck.
Their new Lightup Faraday kit kickstarter has already gotten underway with some a great deal of success. Named after the famed English Scientist Michael Faraday, who discovered electromagnetic induction, as you can imagine this kit brings drag and drop coding to tablets and allows kids to program their own circuit completely wirelessly.
There are some great backer rewards in this package and if you have any desire to help your kid get their first taste of coding or electronics this is a great present.
When I was contacted to work on a sponsored post with Dole to talk about their Pineapple juice it took me less then a second to say yes. Why? I grew up on Dole Pineapple Juice – I typically have ordered it at many a weekend brunch.
As a kid I can remember making my own ice pops made of the giant cans of Dole Pineapple juice. As an adult it became the perfect mixer to many a fun night. Either way once the sun is shining I’m usually replacing OJ with Pineapple juice as my go to morning drink.
Whats in that amazing can of Dole Pineapple juice?
100% juice
Not from concentrate
Excellent source of vitamin C
Good source of vitamins A&E
Naturally gluten free
BPA free packaging
Non GMO
Dole Canned Pineapple Juice can be found in the shelf-stable juice aisle of grocery and super-center stores nationwide. It’s available in both a 46oz can or 6oz 6-pack of cans.

Now those that like interesting in cooking I have a great treat for you to cook up…

For me I would eat this a light lunch and par it with some Dole pineapple chunks, cause whats better then ice cold pineapple chunks on these very hot spring days.
So you waited… and waited… to the point that its actually mother’s day and you dont have a gift (well I can safety safe 40% of men dont have cards before noon on mother’s day).
So here are some awesome last minute gift ideas…
iRobot Roomba a small robot that vacuums up after the kids is rarely on sale this weekend its a great deal for 15% off. The promotion is title #Sorry4TheMess… they have been giving a few of them away on twitter of the last couple of days (sorry that promotion ended a few days ago and this sale ends on Mother’s Day). Why its a good gift cause one of most mom’s pet peeves is having to pick up every little cheerio, now you can just let the roomba pick those up.
4Moms was featured on Ellen’s TV Show for mother’s day and in honor of that (weird its not just a mothers day promotion) they offering 20% off their easy to open Breeze Playard and their mamaroo seat. I highly recommend the Breeze Playard. These are great for any expecting / soon to be mom or a mom of a new born that needs.
Setting up a family photography session is another gift that could easily be purchased last minute… Suzanne Cohen Photography does get a few calls and emails looking for that gift certificate to be generated same day. Here’s why I love the photography idea, cause the kids get older and bigger and getting that family portrait done by a professional – so everyone is in the shot and is also in focus. Bonus points if you combo the photography booking with a hair (like dry bar) and makeup session appointment.
Spa Week is offering $100 cards for $80 so thats a 20% savings. Why is this a great gift – cause you dont have to worry about the type massage or facial she wanted… but you know you’re getting her a spa treatment – combo that with a day off coupon along with a night out with friends coupon and you should be out of the dog house. Really break out the kids crayons and design some fun coupons to go along with the gift certificate.
Williams-Sonoma is running a great sale on cookware for mother’s day… ranging from 10-35% off some pieces. Why is this a good gift idea – cause she’ll never buy the fancy cookware on her own. Add to that private cooking classes (or go as couple for some fun date nights & bonding time)… I’d create a book of dish washer coupons to go along with it.
Lifeproof phone case (it would be a rockstar gift if you added a new phone into the mix too)… but lifeproof are these tough as hell phone cases that can survive in water, snow, dirt, and drops. Truly give your phone 9 lives. Many of the last model of phones are on sale for Mother’s Day. Why is this a good gift – cause how many phone has a parent lost to a bathtub or toilet (I lost one to the latter) and if I had a case like this it wouldnt have been a problem.
All of these sales start to run out by 11:59PM EST on 5/10/15… so hurry up and place that order while the sale is going on.
Last Saturday, comic book shops across the country celebrated Free Comic Book Day with signings, special appearances, sales, and of course, free comics! We got to be a part of the awesome festivities, and even picked up a few of the 50 different titles that were offered. In case you missed the announcement (or just want to check off which ones you got), here’s a look at the list of comics that were available:
