“The Real Baby Yoda is…”

I have a problem. I am legit into The Mandolorian on Disney Plus. My life is just downtime between episodes. I have asked my engineer, Jordan, to wire up the studio processing so I can sound like The Mandolorian.

A voice in the Lowcountry that sounds like this, “I like those odds.”

“This is the way,” Jordan.

But let me address the little elephant in the room. Baby Yoda. People are thirsty.

I am also thirsty. I am the only single person on the Kickin’ staff. So I need to ante up. Mandolorian voice with my own Baby Yoda? Who needs a puppy? Chicks will dig it.

So, one night after a couple of fingers of Angel’s Envy (shameless plug), I went shopping on Target.com  and I bought them.  All of them.

Don’t judge me.   You know shopping is more fun with a little drank.  I was stoked.  Except IT WON’T BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY 2ND!!

And yeah, I TRUMP CAPPED IT. You really want me to wait until May for this??

Awww! Think I’m crazy? Well, tell that to a Pittsburgh Hospital! Yeah? I quote Obi-Wan Kenobi (that liar!) “Who’s more foolish? The fool or the fool who follows him?” The FOOL I AM. Long live #babyyoda

Oh, wait.  I think my rent is due.

This year’s song of the summer is a ballad, not a banger. Here’s what that says about us

For the past 14 weeks and counting, the top Billboard spot has been held by a love ballad: Alex Warren's "Ordinary."
