The 73rd Annual Emmy Awards Winners were announced last night and I am happy to share the full rundown of the winners circle in this list below. We didn’t tune in to the program being broadcast because we were at a concert last night but we do know that the show was held in a very small space that was set up outside. It was also hosted by Cedric The Entertainer. Generally I am home to update this kind of posting as it happens but not this time around. I even forgot to program the DVR so I slacked something fierce. Now without any further adieu let’s see who won the Primetime Emmy Award…

Unboxing The “Sweet Suite at Home” 2021 Swag Box

It was only a few weeks ago that I attended the second-ever “Sweet Suite @ Home” which is the virtual offshoot of the Toy Insider’s popular toy industry event the “Sweet Suite”. Click the hyperlinked text for the coverage piece. With the pandemic still causing issues with larger public gatherings, the folks at the Insider determined that it was best to do this virtually one more time. This event was preceded by the first “Holiday of Play @ Home”. When the event has passed, the participants are sent a gift box and with unboxing clips a hot practice these days I have offered up thoughts and a bit more as I unbox the goodies for our Official YouTube Channel. Take a look.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: So there you have it, a whole lot of cool stuff and items that I hope you were making some notes about for your own shopping lists. I have to say that I enjoy doing these kinds of clips and if I end up at their “Holiday of Play” event in the coming months that I will do another one. I hope I can work it out because it will not be virtual and is instead back to being an in-person affair. There are so many people that I miss from this group and the vendors that it will be some proper medicine for sure. That’s all I have to say about this so I will see you next time around. Keep safe out there since this isn’t over by a long shot.

Just when you thought it was safe to go careening down a hill in a souped up shopping cart, the guys in “Jackass” are back with their fourth film called “Jackass Forever” and comes care of Paramount Pictures. The popular prank and feats of extreme stupidity will be opening soon and now you have a trailer to see what you are in store for. Its without question that I say “please do NOT try any of this at home”. Enjoy the clip.

The Premise:
The entire cast from the previous movies returned for the fourth movie, with the exception of Ryan Dunn, who died on June 20, 2011 and Bam Margera who was fired from the production in February 2021. It will be the first film in the series not to feature a guest appearance by Rip Taylor, due to his death in October 2019. (c/o Wiki).
