Yesterday I got a flat tire in Cold Spring at 5 PM, luckily I had a spare. Thank you to @woodchuckerlee for teaching me how to change a tire freshman year of college. Last time I changed the tire was in London in 2001 with @andrewmichaelkai by @thaxton_makes

In October of 2020, @designerofthestars and I spent 2 weeks in Lou Nasti’s shop, building what would become the ‘Drive Drive Drive’ punishment for @impracticaljokersofficial we had such a blast hanging out with Lou and his crew. We were all bummed when it ended. @designerofthestars sewed the big puppet and @alexandraciardullo created the little puppets. @si_badboy wrote that hilarious/horrible song. taken in New York, New York by @thaxton_makes

Big thank you to @grandincustomfab for help with this one. We got to build a lot of awesome props for season 12 of @impracticaljokersofficial. I think this one is my favorite. taken in New York, New York by @thaxton_makes

For the Balls! punishment, the first thing we needed to do was turn an office space into a warehouse. @lucy_genius and her team: @robidesert & @bellambailey expertly covered the walls and windows as quickly as possible . It was incredible. Then @zachscontraptions arrived and building of the Rube Goldbergs began. @butch__barbie designed the ‘Wanted’ poster. The whole experience was a total blast! taken in New York, New York by @thaxton_makes

First we did Tails!, then we did Heads! And now we have Balls! In order for @therealmurr to exact his revenge on Q & Sal, we brought in the great @zachscontraptions to help us build three Rube Goldbergs. @lucy_genius @butch__barbie and I got to spend a week working with Zach, watching him create three incredible machines. His work is mind blowing. See also our fearless director @damianimike in this video. @impracticaljokersofficial taken in New York, New York by @thaxton_makes

All new episodes of @impracticaljokersofficial starting this week. In this episode, we got to film at @13thhourhaunt and I was blown away. This place is incredible. It has multiple haunted houses and multiple escape rooms. It’s a total blast. taken in 13th Hour Haunted House by @thaxton_makes

In October of 2020, I hired Lou Nasti to help me fill a car full of dancing, singing puppets. @designerofthestars and I got to spend two weeks in Lou’s shop with him and his wonderful crew. We were sad when it came to an end. Over the years I tried to keep in touch with Lou. I’d hire him to build for me whenever I could. I just liked talking to him. I liked knowing he was out there, building something spectacular. On Christmas Day, I’d send him a text. Lou passed away in February 2025. This will be the first Christmas without him. He was the Geppetto of Brooklyn, the King of Christmas. Miss you Lou. taken in Brooklyn, New York by @thaxton_makes
