April 10, 2025

After watching the latest episode of “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman” on Netflix, I immediately went online to look for the video (above) that Caitlin Clark and David Letterman talk about, where apparently CC dropped 22 POINTS IN TWO MINUTES against the men’s practice squad at Iowa, I repeat.. that’s 22 points in 2 mins against Iowa’s men’s practice team.

Here’s part of their conversation.

Another part of the show, is where Letterman asks CC – why are you the way you are?, then Clark answered without a second thought, “cause I’m insane.”

Kitchie Nadal selling her 20+ Years Old Parker Fly Deluxe Guitar

January 23, 2025

Kitchie Nadal is currently looking for a second home for her 20+ Years Old Parker Fly Deluxe Guitar.

Posted on her IG Account (@kitchienadal);

From Wikipedia, “The Parker Fly was a model of electric guitar built by Parker Guitars. It was designed by Ken Parker and Larry Fishman, and first produced in 1993. The Fly is unique among electric guitars in the way it uses composite materials. It is notable for its light weight (4.5 lb; 2.0 kg) and resonance. It was also one of the first electric guitars to combine traditional magnetic pickups with piezoelectric pickups, allowing the guitarist to access both acoustic and electric tones. Production ended in 2016 and the company has not released a new model of any kind since.”

She did not mention on the asking price, and the price could any where between $300 to $10,000. Considering sentimental value of the guitar to Kitchie Nadal, I’m sure she will be very meticulous on who gets to own her beloved 20+ Years Old Parker Fly Deluxe Guitar.
