Recommendation #9: Build Your Own Entourage Draft

NOTE: This post was inspired by The Starters' latest podcast in which they held a draft, where they got to pick their own entourage characters from a series of specific peoples. 

Click here to listen to said podcast.

I was so inspired by this podcast that the family and I (because they were in on this too), brainstormed categories for an hour or two that would be fun discussions/debates with our friends and yours. The following is a layout of the game, with explanation of the game, for those who do not wish to spend 50+ minutes listening to a bunch of Canadian basketball junkies talk about Full House and whether or not Justin Bieber is still considered a Youtube celebrity. It was written up by Father Todd (I wish I could take credit for this whole page-worth of writing but alas, it is early August and there is a sports lull for those who do not care even a tiny bit about the Olympics so, this paragraph explaining the explanation is the most the world is getting out of me right now) and includes categories brainstormed by The Starters (shout out to Jostens!), the Todd familia and I. Enjoy...

You’re cool.  You know you’re cool and important, but not all others may be aware of just how cool and important  you truly  are.

This is why you need an entourage.  Everybody knows that when YOU are being seen with supercool people in a group hanging on every move YOU make, this means you must really be ONE IMPORTANT FREAKING DUDE.  The better quality of members in your own entourage, the higher your own status, right?

So, now’s the time to……..Build-your-own-Entourage.

All you need to do is name one from each of the following characters.  Characters can be either living or dead---Remember, YOU are so doggone COOL that any dead character will be willing to come back to life just to hang out with YOU.   You are only required to answer 12 of the 14 questions below. (If 12 was a big enough entourage size for Jesus, it will should be just the right size entourage for you).

1-Daytime talk show host. ______________________________________________________________________

2-Celebrity chef _______________________________________________________________________________

3- Cartoon/Fairy tale character ___________________________________________________________________

4-Celebrity pet ________________________________________________________________________________

5-YOUTUBE star _____________________________________________________________________________

6-Olympic Athlete (past or present) _______________________________________________________________

7-”Saturday Night Live”  character ________________________________________________________________

8-Action Star (Living or deceased) ________________________________________________________________________________

9-Las Vegas act/performer _____________________________________________________________________

10-Play’by-play or Announcer guy ________________________________________________________________

11-”27” Club Member __________________________________________________________________________

12-Journeyman Quarterback that played for at least 4 teams _________________________________________________

13-Pre-1960’s Personality (could be presidential, historical, celebrity, etc.) __________________________________________________________________

14-Living Lead Singer of a music group _________________________________________________________________

BONUS QUESTIONS:  Now that you have assembled your perfect dream entourage, you are all loaded up in

a limo cruising down the main drag on a Saturday night.

  All is great, but the limo’s CD player---or cassette deck, if you’re really “old school”---is stuck, and can only play one song on constant repeat.

Bonus question #1---What song is playing? ________________________________________________________

Bonus question #2---What city or town are your cruising in?___________________________________________

Bonus question #3---Is a hot dog a sandwich?

Again, that was all Father Todd with some small edits (the hot dog question) and strong influence from me. Thank you to Father Todd for making this a thing and thank you to The Starters for creating a debate within my household that will last weeks.

Now, go ahead and leave a comment of who you would have in your entourage or better yet, share it with others and get their thoughts.

Enjoy the last few days without football and remember, if the paint on the field dries into cement, you should not play a football game.
