This is your My Damn Channel Public Service Announcement for the day: It's Free Cone Day at your local Ben & Jerry's.

Please note that you have eight whole hours in which to stand in line and get some free frozen goodness.

We advise you to stand in line at any time EXCEPT 4pm ET... because that's when you'll be watching the 10-minute show that is My Damn Channel LIVE. But other than that, go for it.

And maybe ask them if you can also get one to go so you can bring it to me at the My Damn Channel offices, okay? Because I'm chained to my desk, literally.*

*Not literally. Come on, you guys.

OKAY EVERYONE QUICK! GUESS WHO MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE? 

If you said the Workaholics dudes, Anders Holm, Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, and also Beth Hoyt, then you are 1,000 percent correct and will be receiving a prize from my brain to your brain via the International E.S.P. Network Of Love! (Tweet me when you receive this transmission to let me know that the I.E.S.P.N.O.L. is working properly.)  My brain nearly exploded when I saw all four of them together in this video:

Seriously though, I am seriously into the show Workaholics.  I don't know those dudes personally, but I feel proud of them: they seem like some of the dudes I hang out with and it's awesome to see that kind of dude out in the world of comedy making bank and taking names with their own personal brand of silliness.  YEAH!  THEY DO THINGS IN THE SHOW I LIKE TO DO IN REAL LIFE!  PARTY!  GET WEIRD!  As you can see, I'm amped.

And Beth.  Oh sweet, sweet Beth.  I love ya, but I am uber jealous that you got to hang with these fellas.  If you could, please send me a lock of Blake's hair.  Thanks in advance.

Moral of the story: AWESOME COMBO OF BETH AND WORKAHOLICS.  

That is all.

1. Hurricane Sandy. The Frankenstorm. It will affect millions of people along the East Coast. Are you in the path of the storm? It's scary, for sure. But you still shouldn't be alerting the authorities to the fact that you plan on coping during the hurricane with illegal substances. Come on, now, y'all.

2. The San Francisco Giants won the World Series! They swept the Detroit Tigers to become the 2012 World Series Champions. And then there was rioting. Because nothing says "I'm so happy we won!" like climbing on buses and lighting things on fire.

3. Joss Whedon decided to come out in support of Mitt Romney AND the impending zombie apocalypse.

4. Argo was finally the top film at the box office this weekend. It only took three weeks!

5. Lindsay Lohan tried to invite Lady Gaga to our friend Tyler Oakley's live chat over the weekend. How fetch!

Did you guys know it's World Cat Day? What?! You didn't?! How could you not notice the parades?! California even had an earthquake in honor of today! World Cat Day is basically Christmas, but, like, with more cats, and then also with a little bit less Christmas.

My Damn Channel wanted to join in on the festivities, so we present to you a special One-Shot video of "Panthera" from our new series Save the Supers! So grab your cat, a warm bowl of milk, and a cardboard box (for some reason, cats LOVE to hang out in cardboard boxes) and go watch!

Jesse Camp exploded into the public consciousness in 1998 when he won MTV's Wanna Be a VJ contest and started appearing on TRL, eventually even garnering his own show called Lunch With Jesse. The lovable waif was known for his freewheeling, positive attitude and outrageous attire that looked like a mix between Joey Ramone, Steven Tyler and a drag queen. What has been been doing since his heyday on MTV?

Camp tried to parlay his newfound fame into a rock career by cutting an album under the name Jesse & The 8th Street Kidz. The effort was met with less than laudatory reviews from critics and currently holds the 339,190th spot on the Amazon sales charts.

After his career as a rock star didn't pan out, Camp headed to Hollywood. He dabbled in acting and even had a walk-on role in the 2002 Britney Spears film Crossroads. After that he reportedly held down oddball jobs like being a clerk at a Feed & Supply company and a telemarketer for a liberal non-profit organization. In an interview with LA Weekly he says he's currently making movies with his sister in Los Angeles and said, "As long as you have a vision, that will create enough positive energy within you to keep going".

Keep rocking, Jesse.

Yours truly,

We all remember the Balloon Boy hoax from the fall of 2009: Richard and Mayumi Heene claimed that their son, Falcon, was trapped in a helium balloon that accidentally floated away, igniting a storm of international media coverage. It turned out Falcon was never in the balloon-- he had been hiding in the family's attic the entire time.

So whatever happened to this family of geniuses? Well, if you thought launching a nationwide hoax pretending that your son was caught in a gas-filled balloon was the weirdest thing this family would do, think again.

Shortly after the balloon-related hoopla died down, the family tried to auction off the now infamous dirigible for $1 million in an effort to raise money for charity. Inexplicably nobody wanted to cough up that much money and their auction failed.

Richard Heene (father of "Balloon Boy") decided to venture into non-balloon related territory and invented a human scratching post called the Bear Scratch with the tagline "If you itch like a song of a twitch." Costing only $19.99 and offering so many aerobic possibilities it's a wonder everybody doesn't have one of these.

Not quite satisfied with just being an entrepreneur, Heene then decided to scratch another kind of itch: acting. In 2011, he starred in what could be considered the worst music video of all time entitled "Aluminum Man," where he plays a man who lives inside of a soda can and subsists on a diet of eggs. 

What his next venture will be is anyone's guess, at this point.

Donnie Jeffcoat was one of the hosts of the popular 90's kid's gameshow Wild and Crazy Kids. The show lasted three seasons during which time he coached thousands of kids on how to play three legged soccer, drive bumper boats, and throw toilet paper over cabins. What happened to him after that?

Apparently when the show ended he tried his hand at acting, appearing on General Hospital, 7th Heaven, and CSI. 

His biggest change came when he moved back to Los Angeles and took up karate. He worked his way up to a 3rd degree Black Belt in Kenpo/Kempo Karate. In June 2011 he opened his own karate school in North Hollywood called the Shaolin American Self Defense Academy where he is the lead Sensei. 

So think twice before you make any Dizzy Bat Home Run Derby jokes around him.
