Salma Hayek - I think she'd be great for any party.

Jennifer Tilly - assumption that I get Phil Laak as a bonus.

Nate Silver - only edging Sarah Silverman out because Adam picked her

I tend to disagree with all the stand-up comics being selected (I chose 2 comedians but have seen them interact with people well).

From all reports, they tend to be pretty anti-social people with a high rate of depression and suicide. While hilarious in their professional life, not sure how much fun they'd be at a party but what do I know.

Edit - topic at hand is... Which three celebrities would you like to have show up at your holiday open house party?

Great article.

My new favorite listener. It's definitely not a nervous thing, it's just a thing some people do unintentionally when they are thinking. Unfortunately it annoys some others.

For anyone that didn't catch it - the Bill Simmons podcast with Nate Silver was Golden. I think it was last week, maybe the week before

Curious to hearing more about the zoom tourney at the pca for obtaining the most play money, cool idea for a tourney. He made it sound like you are playing with the regular play money player pool and its not secluded to you just playing against other 1K pca participants though. If I am correct about that how could they ever police chip dumping (have a friend sit with a large play money stack and hopefully get a hand at his zoom table).

Jessica Alba
Arnold Palmer
Rodney Dangerfield (yes hes dead but my rules)

Agreed..****K would probably be a buzz kill at any party, just counting the seconds til he could got back to his hotel room, eat hot wings, ice cream and masturbate but anyone familiar with Jim Jefferies would know he'd be the exception...before he was forced to quite drinking of course.

Listened to the first 10 minutes while driving to Commerce and immediately had to order a bacon cheeseburger upon arriving, thus negating this morning's fitness bootcamp session.
