Last night a woman came up to me after the show and said, “did you see me crying in the front row? You reminded me so much of my Grandfather.” It made me want to post these, real questions, I was just asked for a paper in NJ.

Holy smokes was Andy Kindler great at the Live TDF. Pep got a cold at sketchfest and Auggie Smith stepped in and killed, even though Andy and I GUSHED about Pepitone RIGHT before he got up. In retrospect… that wasn’t the best way to bring a guy up. BUT Auggie was great! Thanks everyone who came!!

Two immutable facts of being a comic with lady parts… you can always work Valentine’s Day and, if someone makes a sweeping statement about women comics, you will receive at least three emails telling you the weird mean thing to “find out what you think.”
So, next time, just remember that I’ll be thinking what I always think: , It’s weird, sweeping, and mean....

Dig this quote from the lunatic in the sweater vest who walks like a man.
I was so outraged by the president of the United States for standing up and saying every child in America should go to college. Well who are you? Who are you to say that every child in America should [go to college]?…
Awesome rant. Crazy ass quote.
Okay. I do the road a lot. I’ve got the podcast going and the twains meet. Seriously, I love a dork. I DO want to have coffee with you if there’s time and I do want to record your dorkdom if time and energy permit. I’ve gotten plenty of perfectly sane emails from MOST of you. It’s along the lines of, “hey, I live here and you’re coming here – wanna see a great coffee shop or chicken shack? I’m...

Auggie Smith’s flight was cancelled out of Aspen. My flight is still on time outta here. Just had breakfast with him and Stewart Huff. Ordered eggs benedict, got oat bran pancakes.

Comments from the survey. fun. for me at least.
It’s a tie! I snorted milk outta my nose at the KM/LK (Kennedy’s - Lauri and Kathleen) show, and I love the PFT/JH pairing b/c it illustrated just how lucky PFT is to be backed by such a clever and funny woman. PFT every time (Janie is awesome, too) Nowhere near enough people are aware of Karen. She’s just great (Rontow/Kirk) I t was a rollicking live show like we used to have...

Hi Rangers.
I’m opening with it and closing with it. You guys are great.
Andy quotes his dad sometimes. Clyde Ashcraft told him, many times when he was a kid, “Son.” (and he always called him that). “Son. Never work for a living. One day, they’ll pay you to do what you love anyway.” That is an awesome thing to tell a child. Non-related (except in my head) story of another thing Andy’s dad...
