Ep. 64 Cheryl Hines Pt. - 1 Quarantine Table For Seven, Teaching Teachers Online, Poker Night and One Stinky Minivan

Welcome to another episode of the Modern Moron and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t pretty excited about this episode, even though it means changing one of our healthy slogans.  We can no longer claim that this program is 100% celebrity free, because my guest is Cheryl Hines from Curb Your Enthusiasm! They just finished their return to HBO and you would think I would want to ask her about that.

But… this is the Modern Moron and also, while I don’t know a lot of celebrities, the one’s I do know I’ve known for a pretty long time and Cheryl and I go pretty far back.  So far back that I’m splitting this episode into at least two parts, maybe three. I’m gonna milk this for all it’s worth. I may be a moron but i’m not an idiot.

Cheryl and I talk about being cooped up in quarantine with seven… count ‘em seven others ranging in age from 16 to I guess their 20’s?  Including her husband Bobbie Kennedy who is not in his 20’s… I don’t think, he looks very young for his age though.  

We talk about Texas Hold ‘em poker, which she is a pretty avid poker player and has played in some tournaments.  She has a regular group she plays with that include some (other celebrities)... yeah, they all hang out together.

We talk about her sister who is a doctor, thank you very much, working for United Cerebral Palsy of Central Florida and the University of Central Florida in teaching teachers to create curriculum for students of all types from gifted accelerated programs to specialized programs tailored to kids with any and all learning challenges .  Only now it all has to be done virtually so there are challenges in dealing with that as well. And if I got any of that wrong, I will hear about it and correct it!

Then we get into a discussion about her husbands minivan.  … Yeah, that’s what I said. He’s a very successful attorney, author… professor… and I’m pretty sure he can drive um… something else.  But he genuinely likes driving a minivan. I think that might have been what attracted Cheryl to Bobby in the first place but she won’t cop to it.

So, I’m very excited to Have Cheryl Hines on The Modern Moron!  Now, let’s see this is the 64th episode with one celebrity so 1 divided by 64, carry the 7… STILL 98.5% celebrity free… Somewhere around there… thanks for listening.

Hollywood privilege… C’mon share the wealth on the teleporting Hollywood.

Bobby, I want you to know that I have a truck if you even just want to try one out.  It’s a slightly ding’d up Ford F150, nice enough that it’s good transportation, but beat up enough that you don’t care if it gets another scratch.  Aslo, just throwing this out…. There’s Carmax… and I’ve taken the liberty of including a link at the bottom of the description of this episode to a nice 2009 KIA Sedona EX… for $9,998.  For a nominal fee we would have CarMax bring it to Los Angeles… or Boston as the case may be, from um, El Paso, Texas… they do that kind of thing all the time, so don’t worry.  

It’s a single owner, a new pair of tires to meet Carmax standards, it’s got power sliding doors so if you’ve got groceries or you’ve got your hands full of dead opossums and racoons…. Bam!  Electric doors. Says here its also had a deep clean on the interior so you can start out fresh.  

Nice Kia Sedona under 10 grand.  

Next time on the Modern Moron I will continue my chat with Cheryl Hines which will include a story about buying a car ironically and some hand holding that had to occur for one of us.  We’ll leave the details of that for later. Until then stay safe and healthy, get out your sewing kits and let’s all make some masks, wash your hands, all that stuff.. An you know what?  Give away at least ONE roll of toilet paper to someone. Seriously, knock it off with the toilet paper nonsense. See you next time.
