Our long time friend Jim and his girlfriend are part of this video for the Doritos and Pepsi Max “Crash the Super Bowl” video contest. Need as many views as possible!

Today would have been John Lennon’s 70th birthday. They have started a You Tube channel for him, coinciding with yet another compilation album release of his songs by you know who. Anyhow, on the You Tube channel, there are many birthday wishes recorded by celebrities and fans. Two we’ll share are fellow Beatle Ringo Starr, and quite a strange greeting from Jeff Bridges…

Apparently Julian and Yoko have made up, which we guess is nice…

This was fairly impromptu, but Frank Nora, the Babe Ruth of Podcasting, was at the NAVA (North Atlantic Videogame Aficionados) meetup at the Digital Press Video Game store in Clifton, NJ, this past weekend, as was Greg. So we did a short interview. Frank you may remember was our guest on Episode 90 of the Paunch Show almost 3 years ago.

We talked about:

• small US states,
• the oldest living celebrity who recently died (Mitch Miller),
• the Gabor sisters,
• Frank’s tickets to Pee Wee on Broadway,
• theatrical plays shown on closed circuit movie screens,
• Journal Square in Jersey City, NJ,
• Belleville Turnpike backroad through a marsh,
• collecting classicvideo games,
• Need for Speed World free MMO racing game.

Listen to this episode:

The one, the only, Sir Sean Connery. Don’t worry, we paid him $1 million dollars!

This is what Connery had to say….

“I’m swimming every day and I’m even trying to get the golf swing working again – but that might take a little bit longer.

“During the summer, I wasn’t in pain but I wasn’t feeling great. I came to the Edinburgh Film Festival in June then, when I left for the south of France, I realized I’d lost a little bit of weight and needed to change my regime. I’ve done that and the last few days have been pretty special with the family here.

“We’ve eaten non-stop and it has been a great celebration.”

Other birthdays today include THE Regis Philbin, Gene Simmons, Elvis Costello, Tim Burton, and Billy Ray Cyrus.

Goes without saying, the movie of a thousand action stars, now has a trailer!
