Things I love: A Message from Ed Begley Jr. to Me
I was recently watching the special features on the Blu-ray for Pineapple Express and noticed a feature called “Begley’s
Best,” I curiously clicked on it to find out it was a short documentary piece on Ed Begley’s eco-friendly cleaning products. What fascinated me was that Ed was seemingly doing it all himself. His goal to be like Paul Newman with “Newman’s Own” and he also give his proceeds to charities. Ed also doesn’t take a salary in case you were wondering.
So, I checked out his website at www.begleysbest.com and emailed them about getting some cleaning products and could I also get a bottled autographed? I thought to myself, I might get an email back from an assistant in a few weeks, but to my surprise I got an email back in about half an hour from Ed himself (I didn’t really think it was him at the time). Saying he’d be happy to autograph a bottle for me just leave a message in the notes section of the order.
So, I did just that let him know that I wanted the autographed bottle of Begley’s Best Glass Cleaner. I also let him know how I heard about it on the Pineapple Express Blu-ray.
About an hour and half later I got a call from an 818 area code. I didn’t pick up because I didn’t know the number and then it said they left me a voice mail message. I checked my voice mail and to my utter shock – it was Ed Begley thanking me! So please check out Ed’s website at www.begleysbest.com.
See below for the actual voice mail message with some clips dropped in.
