How can Kynt and Vyxsin NOT have their own reality show. There are gazillions of less-colorful, less-interesting, less-fascinating, and less-compelling people on air right now. With these two, whenever they’re on the screen, you sit as still and quietly as possible – afraid to miss the next thing they say.

They, along with Gary and Mallory, make all of us Kentuckians really proud. Below is kind of a tribute to this dye-namic duo. They’re helping to make this the most entertaining season of The Amazing Race ever. Thanks to the show for bringing them back – feel free to do so as often as you like!

The Amazing Race Season 12 Intro

Kynt: Do you like our dance, dear?

Kynt:Vyxsin, help me! I need you to go get children.

Kynt: I had it up to here with that old man (Ron) last time. I can’t wait to knock him out of this. (YES! Success!)

Vyxsin: It’s like World War III over here between us, and I don’t get it…

Vyxsin: And I don’t understand why he’s being so personal about everything, it’s making me kind of bananas.

Kynt: I feel like, right now, the internet is reaffirming information that we’d already decoded…

It’s always the right time to…

• Eat chocolate
• Tell someone you love them
• Drink coffee
• Laugh
• Yell, “GO CATS!!!” (Except perhaps in downtown Nashville)
• Play with your pet
• Watch baseball
• Grab life by the lapels and say, “Let’s have a little fun!”

There you have it.   Joi’s words to live by.  There are more, but we’ll save those for another time.  We’re here, right now, to focus on having fun with laughter and laughing at having fun – so get ready to grab life by the lapels and maybe even ask it out onto the dance floor.

In a world where we’re faced DAILY with drama, catastrophes, and heart-breaking stories in the news,  I’m certain we’d all be in therapy if we stopped making time for laughter.  When we “escape” into a world of music and humor, we basically tell the nasty side of life, “We’re stronger than you are!”  Make no mistake about it, laughter is stronger than anything in the world.  It’s also good for you. Seriously!  One of my other websites is an online Self Help magazine (Self Help Daily).  I  review a lot of  books for this website and self improvement authors (as well as those in the fields of happiness, mental fitness, and health) all agree: Laughter truly is the best medicine.

That’s right, it’s time for a little Pickin’ and Grinnin’ in Grand Rivers, Kentucky at the Badgett Playhouse! Time to tap your toes, do a little seat dancing, sing along, and laugh so hard that funny noises come out of your nose. LOVE when that happens.

From Grand Rivers Variety.com:
Join us for a tribute to all those great country-themed variety shows! Featuring classic country hits, comedy sketches, a five-piece band and three singers performing the hits of such artists as Buck Owens, George Jones, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Charlie Pride, George Strait, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash and Floyd Cramer.

Classic comedy sketches and corny jokes help to recreate the feel of the by-gone era of the variety show format.

“We are going to have a lot of fun with this show,” said Bill Minihan who co-produces the show with his wife Sara. “The band is one of the best we have ever put together for a show. These guys have been playing this music all of their life and it shows. I think our audience will really appreciate their musical talent,” he added. Minihan concluded by saying, “When you combine all of the hilarious skits and all of the great music, you create a great way for people to bring back some nostalgic memories of the golden age of television.”

Unfortunately, the video cuts off before the sweetest part. Each episode of Undercover Boss ends with the big reveal, when employees discover they’ve been working with the boss. The boss in question generally tries to do what they can to make life a little better for these employees. Great stuff.

Willaim Carstanjen bestowed raises, promotions, and he even stepped up employee security. In the case of the jockey valet in the video below, Carstansjen named a memorial race at the track after his much beloved daughter. The grieving father was also invited to come to the winners circle, and bring any family members he chose to and present the winner’s trophy.

And they say there’s nothing good on tv anymore. Horse feathers.

Click HERE to see a video that actually shows the father’s reaction.

When I think of Aurora, Kentucky I think of The Hitching Post and great food: Hot Dogs (only the best in the world, guys), Catfish, hush puppies, BBQ from the Winking Pig (also known as Aurora BBQ!), and fudge that is now being sold in The Hitching Post.

I also think of the Elk and Bison Prairie and the 1850′s Homeplace, which are just minutes away.

If you haven’t visited Aurora, Kentucky lately – take your camera, your family, and an empty stomach.
