Man Crush Monday: Scott Auckerman

1) He's a really good host- The non-crazy parts of the podcast are always really funny. He gets to really good host. He's nice to his guests and promotes them and says how talented they are... but he's not like overly brown nosing. He'll joke around and I feel like he just seems like someone really comfortable to have interview you. I think it would be very nerve-racking to both improvise and do an interview promoting a project, if the host was someone more intimidating. Idk there are a lot of hosts I think aren't good to their guests and some that I think intimidate people... He's good at that.

2) He's also good at improvising- Hosting isn't easy. Improv isn't easy. He does both really really well. It is such a unique show and mostly because of his ability to multi task in this situation makes it even better. If you listen to the episode with Taran Killam and Paul Brittain as the Calvin Twins, he does a great job of sort of helping them with their improv and adding to it. He said that they came in with basically nothing except "I thought we could be guys that owned horses" and then he helped them go along with it and it was totally insane and it just turned out really funny.

3) He is a really funny and entertaining "Straight Man"- He isn't really the over the top scene stealer of the show... but that doesn't mean he isn't really funny. I'd say he's just as funny as everyone else on the show and he has some really funny quotes and he kind of does a character also and its really funny.

4) He has a cute dog- Check out his instagram or Kulap Vilaysak (his wife's) instagram. They have a cute dog! I love dogs! It gives him more man crush points.

5) He's okay with making fun of himself- He always kind of makes fun of himself and his podcast a lot. Its something not everyone is okay with. I'm sure Ryan Seacrest would never make fun of himself, and he wouldn't take crap from anyone else. He just knows how to take a joke and that is not something every man can do, and it also adds man crush points.

6) He did extra work for How Did This Get Made- He watched Tyler Perry's non Tyler Perry directed movie Alex Cross! From what I've heard that is an awful awful movie, and yet he watched both that and Sharknado. Good for him! He gets extra podcast points too!

7) He's actually friends with the guests on his show, and he seems like he's having a good time hanging out with friends - Half of the "Best of" episodes are just him and Paul F. Tompkins singing the Cantina song from Star Wars... he just kind of bros out with his buddies and they seem to be having a good time. He seems really easy to get along with. Like if you met him at a party a mutual friend of yours had but you didn't know him and you saw him again you would say "ohhh yeah. Scott Auckerman is pretty cool." Lol. Long explanation... but true!

8) He just has a cool job- again see above. The worst thing he's done is watch Alex Cross. Cool job. That adds man crush points as well.

Byee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
