The Kid From Brooklyn


Today's Warped site is one that I came across from an email that was sent to me by a friend. It contained a video clip of someone describing his experiences in getting a cup of coffee at a local Starbucks. He describes the scenario in quite descriptive language, and you do get his point. So I did a little research on him, and came up with the site that is featured today. Be warned, the language in these videos can get a little colorful, so be mindful of young ears listening in.

The name of the site is The Kid From Brooklyn. It is the website of one Michael Caracciolo. He is the president of a ticket company in New Jersey. However successful he has been in that line of work, he has missed his true calling. He should be an actor instead. He has all the qualities necessary for success in front of a camera or on a stage.

As you will see from his videos on the site, he is a very conversational person, his voice easily projects, given his physical size (six foot six inch 400 pounds). At this site you will be able to listen to him, just like you were having that conversation, even if it is a little one-sided. The material recorded here is ad-libbed, improvisational and spontaneous. It contains profanity which is offered only in support of demonstrating dramatic intensity and the context of the material. He offers his opinions on everything from Bill Clinton to holidays, from the Super Bowl to Donald Trump's Apprentice, music, food, in short, just about anything under the sun.

This is a wonderfully refreshing site. I really like Mike and the way he tells it like it is, or at least how he sees it. I totally agree with his feelings about Starbucks. So does the Warp-o-Meter, who gives the site a 9.5. Mike makes his phone numbers and email address available on the site, so you can drop him a line or dial him up. I'm going to be giving him a call when my daughter and I head for the Big Apple to see a game a Yankee Stadium. Oh, that reminds me, be sure to listen to his monologue on Yankee Stadium.
