I usually post something in my little corner of the Internet on Mondays, but this week was a high holy day for yours truly and a bit on the busy side.

There are several passion projects that I look forward to taking on every year. Around Christmas, I put together a collection of holiday tunes and comedy bits in something I call HO HO BROTHER. I started doing them in 2000, so that means this year, I’ll be assembling HO HO BROTHER 24. It started out as a CD that I gave to family and a few friends. But of course, these days it’s a digital file you can download or just stream from my website. 70-non-stop minutes of Christmas cheer. One of those songs I always include is a parody song I produce with local singer Alana Baxter. My God, we’ve done 11 of them and to be completely transparent, with Alana taking a job in Japan for a couple of years, we actually recorded the 2024 song while she was in town last December. I haven’t produced it yet but will starting putting it together once November hits. Here’s the complete collection of Alana’s songs, if you’d like to get into the holiday spirit now.

The other passion project I hope to continue as long as I keep breathing is my National Gullible Day newscast, which I put together for its debut on April 1st every year. The 2024 edition was my 9th annual attempt at giving you something I hope cracks you up. Ask me which one is my favorite and I couldn’t answer. Each one is a time capsule of that particular year and features different friends at various stages of their life. Some of the people in those videos are no longer with us.

Much like my HO HO BROTHER holiday collection, I begin rounding up material–topics, photos, videos, etc.–for the following year’s edition as soon as the current one hits the Internet. I’ve already stashed five things for next year. That folder builds up and then, when March rolls around and I have to get serious about being silly again, I start going through resources, write scripts and hit up friends to get involved.

Just in the off chance you missed any of it this year, let’s start with the promo I put together for the 2024 show.

And now, you’re just a click away from experiencing this year’s musterpiece. And I meant that.

Something new this year–a fancy new website, which allows you to view all of the previous years with a click.

It’s how I have fun.

Once again, I fired up the greenscreen, shot my parts with my iPhone and then started putting things together. It’s just something I truly love doing, so I simply had to do it!

One more time.
