Of course we go to parties. We’re party animals. You just don’t know that because we don’t go to YOUR parties.
Look, it’s been a good run and I’ve really enjoyed it, but I have to tell you the truth. A truth that will smash these videos to pieces: I’m in marketing.
I know I don’t. Just when I thought mainstream Hollywood was going to back Star Trek, the best sci-fi film to come out in a couple of years, they completely forget about it in the best picture category. Seriously? You added five new nomination spots for BP and you looked past the rebirth of one [...]
Look, we all have to deal with interruptions, especially when you’re as smart as me. If you ever feel the need to swing by and ask me a question, you might consider watching this video first.
I can’t even believe you’re asking me that! Yes, it takes a lot of work to become an engineer. Yes, you will not enjoy college like the rest of your roommates. Yes, you will end up making a lot more money than they will, so shut up and get back to studying.
I decided to dress up as the scariest creature imaginable…no, not Carl: marketing guy!
How many of my hard-earned dollars did you spend to find out that the average video gamer is 35, overweight and depressed? I could have told you that!

Forgive my renaming this but I love the “technology all f’d up” award. My wife yells at me all the time when I’m watching a movie and I yell out things like “c’mon are you kidding me, that isn’t how it would work!” or some other similar comment when all of a sudden someone hacks into the traffic monitoring system and makes all the lights green. Like in any Sandra Bullock movie or some Italian job or whatever. (Off the record, Jesse James – why? Same question for Tiger.) For some reason, I can’t just watch these as entertainment. I can somehow believe you can beef up the springs in a Mini to carry that much gold in bar form, but I get angry at traffic camera hacking and ocf course, the million dollars in bills fitting into a briefcase. Ever calculate a) how much volume that amount of $ in 100’s woudl take up and how much it would weigh? Not carry-able by some wimpy little actor.
Keep up the good work.

Thanks for the great comment. I ran the numbers: a briefcase containing $1Million would weigh just over 22 pounds. 1 gram per bill = 454 bills per pound. 454 bills per pound x 10,000 hundred dollar bills = 22 pounds. Now most engineers couldn’t carry that kind of load (I could, of course, carry at least four of those briefcases), but I think Marky-Mark could handle it.

Tell her the same thing you’ll tell your kids: it’s what’s on the inside that counts!

I wish her all the best . The sun will rise and shine again on such a proficient actor.
