This important video was directed by Tom Scharpling on behalf of our friend, Mr. John Hodgman. It concerns the lifestyle of a DERANGED MILLIONAIRE. Featured in this video are Vernon Reid of Living Colour, Brooke Shields, ?uestlove and OTHER MAJOR CELEBRITIES.

It is your duty to WATCH the video, and to VOTE FUNNY the video. It is an easy duty to fulfill, as the video is TREMENDOUS. Then, simply order Hodgman's final book in his trilogy of all world knowledge, THAT IS ALL.

Also: Dick Cavett behaves boorishly.

I am, frankly, too far from San Francisco politics these days to endorse a candidate for mayor. Even if I was going to endorse a candidate, I wouldn't do it here.

I can, however, endorse this internet video for Ed Lee, which features our friend Ashkon as an MC-Hammer-like figure, MC Hammer as MC Hammer, plus Brian Wilson, Ronnie Lott, Willie Brown and other San Francisco legends. (Also Will.i.am for some reason?)

Our friend Mike Schmidt from The 40-Year-Old Boy is planning an east coast tour of his compelling/terrifying/hilarious one man show. He's trying to raise six grand to cover the touring costs, and using Kickstarter to do it. If you're a fan of Mike's, get behind it!

I love this song even more than you'd think I'd love a song called Awesome Awesome by a rapper named Buddy. When I heard this the other day, I basically had the same reaction as Noz - I wished it was Roscoe P. Coldchain, but it's still pretty fantastic.

PS: champion of this video is dude in the A's hat making muscles.

We don't do a lot of wrestling coverage here at MaximumFun.org, but this is genuinely fun stuff. Our friend Charlie Todd (the founder of Improv Everywhere) runs a comedy wrestling league at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York called UCBW. This week wrestling legend Mick Foley stopped by to do a little comedy, but then he got wrapped up in the grand finale. You can find further details at The Apiary and at Charlie's blog.

On this week's episode of Judge John Hodgman, The Pizza Pauper, our litigants discussed the very unusual restaurant chain The Canadian House of Pizza & Garbage.

Listener Eric Schumiller started thinking about some cassettes he'd seen on in a shoebox on his neighbors curb. He ran out, grabbed them, and ran to his cassette deck. He found just what he thought he'd remembered seeing - the circa 1980s jingle for CHoPaG.

He generously digitized it for us, and you can hear it above or download it here.

Lyrics below:

Canadian House of Pizza and Garbage,
A place of convenience and value for all.
Maison Canadienne de la Pizza et les Ordures,
Un lieu de commodité et de valeur pour tous le monde.

[spoken]: At Canadian House of Pizza and Garbage, turn garbage into gold! So don't refuse our refuse, or deny our detritus. Only $5 for a pop and a slice, or maybe much, MUCH more!

Canadian House of Pizza and Garbage,
Ontario's stripmall paradise.
Abandon your pride, and come inside,
You might find a motorcycle under your slice...under your slice!

Yeah, that's rapping.

I want Mannie Fresh to do the theme for The Sound of Young America. Mannie! Email me!

BOOMTIME!

One of our favorite standups in the world hit the stage on Conan last night... and destroyed. As you'd expect. The man's a genius.

Featuring two of our favorite guys, Neil & Paul (as discussed on the last episode of Jordan, Jesse, Go!).

Holy cow is this funny. HOLY COW.

I would have slept with the Four Tops if they told me this song was about me.
