I chipped a tooth at a company picnic and got a crown put in today. I told the dentist I keep telling my coworkers it was all the company's way of getting me a crown and I'm now King of the company. I told him I'll be seeing him again soon once my coworkers punch my teeth out to get me to shut up.

The more clips I see of Inde Navarrette and Michael Johnston's episode of Hot Ones, the more I want to see them work together again. Specifically, someone needs to cast them in a really good buddy comedy. They're just so fun together. youtu.be/mlwD5SdMM7I?... #filmsky
