Bag of Randomness for Thursday, March 3, 2022

  • I got a phone call from the hospital saying I owe them $250 from my neck surgery back in December. They said insurance already paid their part, so I asked for an itemized bill. A week goes by, but the bill hadn’t arrived, and they started to call every day to collect the funds. I got tired of it, so I go online to try to make a payment, but I get some sort of error, so I call in for assistance. The representative said if I’m willing to pay on the phone through him, he’d knock 30% off, so all I’d owe would be $175.
  • I caught the very end of The Amazing Race last night. I used to record it and try to watch it with my ex as a bonding experience. One of the contestants asked that all the video crew following the teams get a chance to be on camera for all their hard work behind the scenes to make the show possible. That should be done more often. Heck, the show should have a special on how they make episodes.
  • I’m sure you all remember Kramer from Seinfeld. The actor, Michael Richards, is still close friends with Jerry and I recently saw him in Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Richards, as you may recall, lost his temper on stage and said some very racist stuff. In this clip (cued), Richards appears genuinely remorseful, that he’s taken a lot of time to reflect, grow, and learn from his mistake. It reminded me of when this incident first happened and Seinfeld stepped in to help by going on Letterman and having him interview his friend. It’s the only time you’ll see Jerry Seinfeld tell people to stop laughing because it wasn’t funny.  Seinfeld could have easily left him hung out to dry, but showed true loyalty and friendship.
  • I saw a picture of Babe Ruth looking at Lou Gehrig’s open casket. Gehrig died in 1941 at the age of 37. Ruth only lived seven years after his Gehrig dying at 53.
  • A lot of people mistakenly thought Mark Hammil dressed as Luke Skywalker and performed sign language, but it was actually a Mark Hammil impersonator. Both recently cleared up the confusion on Twitter.

  • Yes.
