Wonderful Guests, A Great Weekend, Lots of Food & Fun!

This week we had a couple of wonderful guests visiting as Wendy and Akbar drove up from LA for the weekend. They joined us on the podcast......as a result there are lot of links today.

Akbar Kurtha, an actor, who's been in a bunch of movies and TV shows both here in the US and in the UK:

Saturday we had a great dinner at The Fish Market in Santa Clara:

It's a fabulous restaurant. Really, really, really fresh seafood and the staff have an excellent attitude. Did we mention that the food was really fresh?

We then nipped into our favorite pub and had a pint after dinner....but also went back for lunch on Sunday:

So, onto topics ... well ... links mentioned during the podcast today:

This is the website "rathergood.com" that we mentioned with some hysterical videos.

Male Synchronized Swimmers (Bad copy from VHS.....but sooooo funny.)

And, just in case you were wondering where the backup music came from that Synchronized Swimmers video, get ready for a blast from the past ... can you say "Frank Stallone"?

A non-SNL link ... very funny and a great take on gangsta rap with a twist that was mentioned several times during the podcast ... "Read A Book!" ...

So a rather good weekend.

Monday we're up in San Francisco, meeting our buddy Karen, at the House of Prime Rib ... one of our favorite prime rib restaurants. Well try to record something during the dinner, as we'll no doubt be laughing our collective asses off. If we do, it'll be on next week's show.

And remember....."It's called Speed Stick. It's not expensive!"

Peace ... G&S
