Finish this sentence: “Kansas City got it right when … ” We hired Andy Reid.

“Kansas City needs … ” To start speaking up for itself. We have a lot of amazing stuff happening here, and we need to start taking credit.
“In five years, I’ll be … ” Halfway to 70, all the way to Oldmanville. Did I mention I just picked up my new orthotic shoe insoles yesterday? True story.
“I always laugh at … ” Farts. Farts will always be funny.

The best advice I ever got: “Be excellent to each other.” – Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure
Worst advice: Last year, I paid a guy on the streets of Vegas for “shitty advice.” It was so bad, it didn’t even come close to the category of advice. Just poorly worded nonsense that I paid a dollar for.
My sidekick: Is my wife. She has the burden of dealing with me on a regular basis, and that can’t be easy. Before her, it was Jonathan Brandis from Sidekicks. But he’s dead now.
My brush with fame: Martin Starr put his man jewels on the back of my neck once.
What was the last thing you had to apologize for? Lying to my wife about the price of meat straws I purchased on the Internet for bloody marys.
Who’s sorry now? Me. Terrible heartburn from the meat straws.
My recent triumph: Buying meat straws for bloody marys, duh.
