Big Al’s Blog: Epic Fail, Bucket List and Purchases

Conan has come to town and gone. And I failed miserably at getting him to stop by my bar. Even after offering a $2000 bounty to anyone that could get him to swing by to sing just one Karaoke song with me, he never showed up! I even bought a huge banner and hung it outside asking him to stop by. #epicfail…Well, Khloe Kardashian, that makes the time that you stopped by even more special!

With David Letterman announcing his retirement which will take place sometime in the next year, it got me to thinking, I wonder if there is anything that he has on his “Show” bucket list. I mean he has interviewed pretty much everyone in the world. He has done street bits out the butt. He has hosted award shows, stupid pet tricks and the list goes on. But, I wonder if there is anything that he wants to do or accomplish before he goes away. Like several years ago, Emmitt Smith was getting ready to retire. He had won 3 Superbowls already. But something else that he wanted to do was to be the All-time leading rusher for the NFL. And so, he kept playing and running until he accomplished his goal. And that brings me to the question that I don’t really have an answer to. What’s on our Kidd Kraddick Morning Show Bucket list? Like I said, I don’t have an answer to this question. Maybe doing a show from space? Maybe doing a show from a really poor country as we go over and plant veggies for them? Maybe we can discuss on the show.

traffic-lightWhat is the stupidest thing that you bought on the internet? I have bought some doozies over the years. It wasn’t too terribly long ago that I was browsing around on the internet and I came across a traffic light. Yes, a real traffic light that I’m sure at some point was hanging in the middle of some intersection. I thought to myself, “That’s cool!” so I bought it. Then there was the time a couple years ago that I was browsing around and I ran across a table top Pac Man machine. And I thought to myself, “That’s cool.” You know the rest…and by the way, it worked for about 4 months. Then last year, I thought that it would be awesome if I could have a Piano Sing Along night at my bar. It looks so cool in the movies. People gathered around a Piano with mugs of beer in their hands singing “You lost that Loving feeling.” So, I went on Craigslist and bought a piano for $200. Later, I found out that it was so out of tune that it couldn’t be tuned. So, what did I do as I was bored on Sunday morning? I went to Craigslist…and what does a guy need that lives on the 21st floor of a Hi-Rise apartment building? A 7 foot long BBQ grill! But I do love having parties. And I’ll probably be moving back into my house next year. Man, that thing is going to be tough to get into the elevator!!! HAHA
