For months, we have been wondering if Matthew McConaughey was going to run for public office. Yesterday, he finally announced his decision. He will not be running for Governor of Texas this go around.
Instead, he says, “I’m going to continue to work and invest the bounty I have by supporting entrepreneurs, businesses and foundations that I believe are leaders, establishments that I believe are creating pathways for people to succeed in life, organizations that have a mission to serve and build trust while also generating prosperity.”
After listening to him explain why he is not running and what he will be doing instead, I think he would be a great candidate. I wish more politicians analyzed their candidacy as much as he did before they ran for office. I also wish they were more humble instead of full of hubris. And that goes to both Democrats and Republicans.
Tonight is the first night of Chanukah! Happy Chanukah to all the Jews out there.
However, there is one goy that I should add to the list, and that is Dave Grohl. The singer brought back The Hannukkah Sessions with his Foo Fighters bandmate and member of the tribe Greg Kurstin.
They are starting off the Festival Lights by lighting up Lisa Loeb’s Stay. And when I say their version is lit like the shamash candle on the menorah.
Here is what Grohl said about choosing Stay for the first night, “Let’s kick it this year’s Hanukkah sessions with one of Dallas, Texas’s favorite Jewish daughters. So put on your coffee shop spectacles and your Betsey Johnson dress and HAVA listen to this…’Stay’ by @lisaloeb.”
Aren’t you happy that Chanukah is eight days long? Why? That is because we get seven more of these! I can’t wait to hear what they do next! Here is to hoping we get something from Culture Club or Josh Groban.
BTW There has to be a Rabbi out there somewhere that will make Grohl an honorary Jew! He’s earned it.
Seth Meyers had a Netflix special called Lobby Babby that was about his second son, Axel, 3, who was born in the lobby of his building. His first son, Ashe, 5, barely made it to the hospital before he made his debut.
After two close calls, the Late Night host and his wife, Alexi Ashe, learned their lesson. So ten weeks ago, she gave birth to their daughter, Adelaide, in the bathtub of their home. Wait, they had a baby ten weeks ago, and no one knew about it! That is what happens when they didn’t have a close call on the way to the hospital.
Congrats to the couple who had a secret baby in their tub while their sons were sleeping!
