I make a living as a funny motivational speaker making people laugh (hopefully). But my pets make me laugh. Pets are great companions because they love you unconditionally, as long as you give them a treat or scratch them behind the ears. I scratched my wife behind the ears once and found it’s apparently different…
Funny Motivational Speaker attempts a “man hug” and it goes horribly wrong. As you might guess, over the course of more than 30 years of stage work I’ve had a lot of crazy stuff happen. I’m not just talking the normal things like dishes crashing (how about not trying to carry 20 at a time),…
Funny Motivational Speaker is aging but I’m totally okay with that. You’ll look in the mirror and say, “when did I get so old?” Sometimes it’s when you have a birthday, or even more telling…when your child has one. Or when you have to actually get on the floor for something and you find yourself…
Funny Motivational Speaker takes a look at Valentine’s Day. I’m generally not romantic, but I’m gonna try. I was recently accused of being angry about Valentine’s Day. I’m not angry, but let me write through clinched teeth on things I’ve been saying for years about this bogus holiday. Now before any of you romanticists get…
Funny Motivational Speaker Wants Civility. I’m not the Civility Police, but please bring civility back! This blog is intended to be light and uplifting, but pardon me while I rant for a moment. Politeness needs a come back. Cleanliness needs a rebirth. Common decency and grace for those sharing our planet is on a steady…
Funny Motivational Speaker Battles Winter. You need a sense of humor to get through cold weather. I love this season. Family. Friends. Holiday parties. Gift giving. Being thankful. All the best stuff in life. I just wish all that didn’t come with the cold weather. First of all let me vent about the “wind chill…
Funny Motivational Speaker and Halloween is a beautiful combination. Simply put: candy and costumes. Holidays are a plenty. Most of them have historical significance. Which is why you often get a day off from work, so you can sit and read about our past and truly appreciate those who came before us. You do that,…
Funny Motivational Speaker Might Be Funnier Without Hair. Let’s find out. It’s just hair. Ever thought about how much time and money we spend on our hair? Michael Jordan, Yul Brynner, Telly Savalas, and Michael Chiklis. Those guys were smart. Shaved their heads and saved thousands. But most of us spend a lot of hard…
Funny Motivational Speaker and his Real Job. It has nothing to do with speaking. It started with the baby talk. The proud papa next to me on the plane was flying with his young son. Baby talk to me is like fingernails on chalkboard. I got a back shiver willy just now writing that. This…
Should a funny motivational speaker have better self awareness? You be the judge. The son of one of my best friends insisted on “showing me the town” a recent Saturday night since I was batching it for the weekend. Now remember I’m happily married (not sure about my wife), and I’m certainly not interested in…
