How Does One Man’s Birthday Lead To…

  1. A Handful Of Hazelnuts

  2. A Racy Cupcake Video

  3. And TWO Full Nights of Celebration?

Read on to find out how we celebrated our very own Sam Super’s birthday.

And, of course, to see This Week’s Audience Feature where YOU are the star at #DateMe: An OkCupid Experiment.

Ok. Let’s DO This!

Happy Birthday, Sam!

This is Sam Super.

Happy Birthday 2DAY!


This past Saturday night was his birthday. But this pic was taken on Sunday…and the writing on the mirror reads “Happy Birthday 2DAY”.

What is going on???…

Day One Of Birthday

Sam arrives backstage. Greg Komorowski and I need him to leave the dressing room so we can deliver our HILARIOUSLY clever gifts.

Our stage manager Jaci Entwisle quickly comes up with a plan:

“I need two bodies!”

…and summons Sam and our Musical Director Jeff Strickland backstage to “Re-Adjust Some Lights” for our Audience Volunteer pics.

Greg and I quickly place our gifts and await Sam’s return…

Filberts (AKA Hazelnuts), Toffifay & Ferrero Candy with HAZELNUTS!


So, What’s With All The HAZELNUTS?

Well, awhile back Jaci was talking about how much she loves Toffifay, the popular German hazelnut candy. (Toffifee in Germany for all you purists).

At some point she mentioned having a “Handful of Hazelnuts”, which prompted Sam to proclaim that it sounded like an Old Timey musical number.

He then burst into song and we got this Gem improvised by Sam, Jeff & Greg. We now present:

A Handful Of Hazelnuts…

Seriously, none of us can get this song out of our heads so it’s become a running theme. Hence all the Hazelnut gifts.

If you just can’t get enough, (and we CAN’T) here’s a REPRISE after Sam opened his gifts…

Pickle Card

I also got Sam a card with a dancing pickle in it. Because I think I’m hilarious…

Pump up the Volume to fully experience these Hot Pickle Jams!

A Gift From Diane…

And, as always, our thoughtful producer Diane Alexander got Sam a gift. Here he is opening it.

Take your time, Sam…

Awww… It’s Super Stylish SOCKS!

These socks deserve a Close-Up:

Birthday Socks


Diane Also Brought… CUPCAKES!

We are thoroughly spoiled when it  comes to Cupcakes. Diane really does find excuses to get them for us on ANY occasion. And these were from one of our favorite places, Sweet Mandy B’s.

Watch myself and Jeff Strickland demonstrate just how much we LOVE cupcakes.

I tried my best to commit, but Jeff is the true rockstar here.

Cupcake Seduction:

Camerawork, editing, and musical selection by Carisa Barreca.

The cast of #DateMe also came up with the following descriptive Hashtags for our Insta post. True storytelling at play here…

Day Two Of Birthday

Long story short… Carisa came in Saturday to sign the group birthday card and was shocked to find that Sam’s birthday was THAT NIGHT!

“Oh no! I was going to bake him a cake!”

Anyone who knows Carisa knows that she loves to bake. And, on special occasions, we always get hand baked treats!

Instead of giving up she just decided to Re-brand Sam’s birthday to Sunday. So we got to celebrate again the next day by eating this DELICIOUS angel food cake:
