    So I’m sitting in the waffle joint with Sister Carmella and she’s drinking her fifth Coors and eating the ‘Supersize Bargain Waffle Deal’ of a stack of eight waffles and she looks happy, and she says, “Can I confess a coupla things to you?” and I say, Sure! and she says, “Sister Henrietta and I were walking back to the convent one night when we realized a man was following us, so we decided to split up so he couldn't follow both of us. I made it back safely, but Sister Henrietta arrived later. I asked her what happened and she said, ‘Well he caught up to me. So I did the only logical thing: I lifted my dress, and he pulled down his pants, which was a smart move coz a nun with her dress up can run much faster than a man with his pants down!‘ “Anyways last night I got into a taxi and noticed the driver staring. He confesses he's always had a fantasy of kissing a nun. I said I can grant that, but only if you are single and Catholic. He swears he is both. After a passionate kiss, the driver starts crying. I lied, he sobs. I'm married and Jewish! I said, that’s ok. My name is Kevin, and I’m on my way to a Halloween party.” I said, which part of all that is the confession? And she says, “The confession is that I find all of that hilarious.”

    80 years from now, Kurt is going to be on some spaceship telling our A.I. overlords, "Yeah back in the 2020s I did a cowboy show on Earth and it was just so much fun."

    I had quite a chuckle hearing that Kurt’s first big movie moment was kicking Elvis Presley in the shins! It takes many of us back to a much simpler time in cinema. There is something so nostalgic about the story of Elvis asking to meet Kurt's dad just to learn how to wear a cowboy hat properly. As we get older, we realize it is these small, human connections that stay with us far longer than any movie role. Truly a lovely and lighthearted look at a legend.
