The Owner's Box After Dark, Ep. 21.

Another jam-packed episode of everyone's favorite guilty after-dark pleasure!

First, I teach everyone how to preserve a big-jar candle that has been delivered with the glass jar shattered into hundreds of tiny pieces. Nothing like an arts-and-crafts lesson!

Then I display my new haircut, which looks pretty much like every other haircut I've had since 1965 -- save for my college years and a brief time in 2006, when I decided that haircuts were not necessary. On the whole, though, change terrifies me.

Then I discuss the mess that the New England Patriots were in last week, which resulted in their game against Denver being twice rescheduled (now this coming Sunday at 1).

Up next was a self-critique of my 2020-21 season's debut of high school sports telecasts. In a nutshell, I was awful at calling a field hockey game on TV, but better the next day doing a soccer game. Six more to go before the start of the basketball season.

After the second commercial break (and you really can't miss this 20-year-old gem), I recommend some of my favorite podcasts, including a sample from the brand new podcast by comedian Sarah Silverman, one of my all-time favorite celebrity-types. Highly recommended. Someone once asked me what celebrities I wanted to meet (forgetting that I had been around pro football stars for 41 years of my life), and I said Tom Hanks for the male, and a tie between Naomi Watts and Sarah Silverman for the female. (I would have said Flipper if asked for an animal.)

And finally, I talk about the viral sensation that is singer Lanie Gardner, whose social-media cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" is taking the country by storm.

Just another varied wandering of my brain over a week's time, compressed into 47 minutes. And I even added a reminder to go vote! I already have!

Enjoy!
