Former astronaut: "Aliens Exist!"

Edgar Mitchell is a former astronaut. As a part of the Apollo 14 moon mission, you'd think he knows a little more about the mysteries of the universe than anyone else. Yesterday, he held a press conference to tell the world that aliens actually do exist, and that they have been visiting our planet.

I totally believe this story. This guy is a former astronaut, and we know astronauts aren't crazy enough to believe in something that's not true. They're also not crazy enough to put on a diaper and drive from Houston to Florida and try to abduct some dude's girlfriend with rubber tubing and duct tape. Welcome, my alien friends!

What's the Soup Nazi doing now?

One of the most popular characters from Seinfeld was, of course, The Soup Nazi. He was played by character actor, Larry Thomas. I would assume by the hundreds of times I see this episode in syndication each year that Larry makes a bundle in residual checks each month. However, I may be wrong... because the Soup Nazi is now starring in a series of infomercials for log cabins. This opens up a whole new genre of marketing: the "Little known Seinfeld character sell". Gee, maybe the marble rye lady could advertise for power equipment. Babu would be a great spokesperson for frozen TV dinners and I think Banya could sell feminine hygiene products like no one's business!

"Snakes On A Plane" TV edit is genius!

This week we were talking about the movie "Snakes On A Plane". In Australia a real plane was grounded because real snakes were let loose and the crew were having trouble finding them. After we discussed that story, a few of our listeners sent me this video of the safe-for-TV version of Snakes On A Plane. Fans of the movie know that the most famous scene is when Samuel L. Jackson delivers the line, "I have had it with these mother#$% snakes on this mother#$% plane!". The question is, how do you show the movie on TV without bleeping out this pivotal line? It seems as though the producers anticipated this during the filming, and had Mr. Jackson record an alternate take just for TV. This actually aired on FX...
