Ben is a connoisseur of everything that rocks... Mostly drinks on them.. He grew up in Western Pennsylvania; after his High School Cheerleading Career didn't pan out.

Have you ever wanted to interview Snoop Dogg? Most people would say, yes. Naturally you would ask him about his "extracurricular" activities... Since Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper were knockin' back tequila shots on their New Year's Eve Special... Things went exactly that way. Anderson Cooper's laugh is definitely a "High"-Lite of this one.
As you look to 2021 for a new normal... realize that resolutions are just wishes and prayers. It takes determination and a real "will" to change. Sure this past year was horrible, to say the least. We lost family, friends, members of our community in Northeast Ohio and beyond. These dark times may have enlightened us to things we have been doing wrong or need to address. 1. Remember, to take one day at a time. 2. Set attainable goals. And if this past year has taken us anywhere (but our homes)... it is out of our comfort zone. 3.…
As if 2020 couldn't get any worse for Cleveland. Well Here's JOHNNY "Football"!!!! Yes, Johnny Manziel will be flashing money signs in the FCF League. No Joke. The Fan Controlled Football is a 7 on 7 team playing on a 50 yard field with 10 yard endzones. The Fans pick the uniforms, logos and plays. The teams are made up of former college players, arena/canadian league and XFL'ers. The league kicks off February 13th if you want to send Johnny a good luck present. Oh, and there is some star power as Quavo, Mike Tyson, Marshawn Lynch and more own…
The Browns are in a Win and In Situation in NFL Playoffs. Pittsburgh has announced that Mason Rudolph will start the final week of the season. Remember the last time what happened. I think Myles has incentive enough in the game. The NFL is starting an initiative to grow their brand with kids. The Main Problem is Kids Can Do WEEKLY Pick'ems which is gambling.Click Here for More Details It will look like this on Nickelodeon. (I like the SpongeBob FG Posts and Slime obviously!)
Since Christmas is over. How long do you keep your decorations up? 1) Are they already put away. 2) Wait till after New Year's Eve. 3) When I get around to it. 4) Leave them up till next year. I am a little of #1 and #4... really anything goes in a pandemic, right.

I forgot the metal pole. Festivus is December 23rd and I have an 'Airing of Grievances.' I am a fan of shows for kids, for the most part. There have only been a few that I am like "THESE HAVE TO GO". The first was "Calliou" that child is just too whiny. Second, "Barney" was just too darn happy... almost like drug test happy!! Now it is Ryan of "Ryan's Toy Review". Sure, the family is genius film your whole lives. They are like the G-rated Kardashians. But once again Ryan's Show, Toys and whatever kind of deals he has…
Tis the Season of Giving! And Some Good News is always appreciated with a familiar face.
You love going and looking around the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Who doesn't? There is so much to see and do. Well next year you can do and see the zoo from a new angle. They are going to start installing a Soaring Eagle Zipline. It will be over Waterfowl Lake and is expected to open somewhere around Memorial Day 2021. Click here for more details.
I'm guessing this is a fun dad. He has probably done this before. The costume is great... but the song seals it for me!

Lighting up the bathroom will never be the same.. Porta-Potty Up In Here! Up In Here! Service Sanitation are unloading their Jingle Johns on the world. It's a light show, so great, you might just have to use their product...
I believe this story has played out before. Woody was put to work in a fun way. Still not sure if he picked up a paycheck? It has to be hard working with a "snake in your boot"... Glad the toy made it back to it's owner. It looks like the employees made the best of a bad situation, at least for one boy and his toy. Click for the Story Click here to see the Social Adventure
Everyone was up in arms over the changing of the 'Hershey Kiss Bell Commercial' that was changed this year. It is all about tradition, I understand! I'm more upset with the psycho-paths that buy their significant other a car payment for Christmas... every year!!! Saturday Night Live really nailed it with this one: Enjoy! This is the original I was talking about:
Dan Reynolds lead singer of Imagine Dragons has been keeping things light on his social media during the pandemic. Now he brings the rest of his bandmates in (Wayne Sermon, Daniel Platzman oh and Ben McKee) for a little Christmas Parody. A little cheer that I hope made your happy... I don't know if it will make the band's 5th studio album which is hopefully out soon!
