Alright… in the nine places you can listen to the dork forest - allthingscomedy.com seems to be failing… the rss feed isn’t transfering… i manually uploaded felicia michaels (dirty! not) but didn’t notice it missed Diva Zappa, and, now, this very week’s ep.   

Also - I turned off the comments on dorkforest.com bc o’ spam bots …so to talk about eps or yer OWN damn dorkdom… join into this convo if you want: https://www.facebook.com/groups/353762778033456/edit/ Fan Made page… but I answer questions if you want. 

Best place for notes with links (only place really) is www.dorkforest.com under the eps. You can also search the eps by name o’ guest or dorkdom. (granted, you COULD do that on google, ie True Crime Dork Forest brings up Michelle McNamara’s eps).

You want to donate to The Dork Forest in a different way. You know how you buy stuff from Amazon? Yeah you do. We all do. I know… We’ve all read “The Second Sex, I know I’m responsible for my own orgasm” (Tootsie, 1982) I digress. 

So, when you’re going to buy something from Amazon, if you click the Amazon banner on jackiekashian.com and then place your order – I get some sort of kickback. I WAS just told, though, that you have to “clear your cookies” to make Amazon realize that the link you clicked was from jackiekashian.com. So. 

It might be too much work. You can also just donate. Or buy a CD/Shirt thing. Or… just tell a bazillion people you know to listen to the pod. Whatevs… I’m just saying. Thanks. jk out.

Last night, hanging in the yard in Arkansas, where the
whole road tends to congregate, nicest guy in the world, who WANTS you to call him Polack, asked me, “you do any ethnic comedy?” I say,” just jokes about Polish people” and he turns to tell a guy who’s just sitting in his truck. In the middle of repeating that, Polack got the joke. “Robbo” (the guy in the truck) was maybe thinking about joining the circle of, mostly older grizzled guys talking dogs and building materials, nursing a beer at the wheel. I like all those guys…but they want someone to tell them jokes all the time. And, if I’m not willing to… They’ll tell each other ANY joke. It can be a lot.

In AR to honor Andy’s dad-would have been his 71st yesterday. Bird dog trainer & slow talking hilarity, his ashes into shotgun shells & fired off - Clyde would have found my gingerly scared handling of a shotgun pretty damn funny.nodding,slowly,” Not your first time i take it? “knowing full well it was.

You voted…these are the top 25 eps of last year. It’s a good place to start at www.dorkforest.com Enjoy. 

Hey! Dana Gould does this thing with HIS podcast (which is AWESOME) where, if you go to Amazon via HIS page, he gets a kickback from Amazon. So… if you’re going to buy from Amazon anyway - I’m gonna put that link on MY website. Eventually. Until then… here’s the direct link to Support The Dork Forest show, not costing any different, by clicking here: Amazon.com

I think I’m doing that right :) 

I’m raising all the prices in the next few days, whenever it gets done, to $25 for shirts (postage included) $50 for hoodies (postage included) $30/$60 for international… bc postage has been kicking my ass. the CD’s will stay the same as they are light and cost me less to produce. Email me for a price on a tshirt/CD combo price if you want jackie@jackiekashian.com 

also… My standup schedule is updated… http://jackiekashian.com/calendar.php 

YES. the first ten min (11:39im told) of this week’s The Dork Forest with Adam Rabbatoro about games is hard to hear. I thought I put that info in the notes but, I must not have. I was a bit rushed this week. Sorry! What happened is, using your lovely donations, I bought new mics (thank you). These new mics have ON/OFF switches. Adam’s mic was off for those first ten minutes while I tried to figure out why, he said things I wanted to keep.

And now, libsyn won’t let me Edit the notes, so many helpers will tell me this as they listen…but, much like life after High School - It Gets Better (about min 11:30)

Thanks for the heads up! Here’s the show direct link if you like… Or iTunes it http://tdf.libsyn.com/dorkforest/tdf-ep-161-adam-rebottaro-co-created-sentinels-of-the-multiverse/size/2

It’s weird that I’ve turned into a tax and spend democrat since I’m against what my tax money is spent on. Ive never liked war…allow me to take a real stand on war here. ;) ….its a failure of politics that spend the lives of people who just want to be of some service to society.

But I love plumbing and roads and electricity. and i keep thinking, maybe drone money will trickle down to education and clean water. I guess we all DO become more conservative as we age.

#toomuchtimeinanairport #nooneaskedme #theinternetaskedmebyexisting

Oh… For those who think the private sector should provide those things… I suggest you study the middle ages. I want a centralized government in charge of my community services like roads and plumbing. There’s still graft and cronyism, but there is also a social contract. Hence the creation of government. Anarchy wasn’t good for “regular joes.”

The first time I flew I was 19 years old and I was going to NYC. It was back in the 80’s when they still fed you. They ran out of breakfast right when they got to me. The woman next to me said, “this is your first time flying? You can have my breakfast.” then she asked the stewardess if she could have tiny bottles of booze instead.

Heh. It worked. She got a couple tiny bottles. I ate the, not good, meal and remember thinking…”I could have had free booze at 9am instead?” I had only been drinking for about a year but I might have been born crazy about booze.

More on that trip for no reason: the stewardess let me come up to first class while we landed bc there was a window I could see the statue of liberty (being renovated so covered with scaffolding…I remember thinking “caged liberty.” oh, to be 19. It was also the 80’s and how much I loathed Ronald Reagan.

I landed in Newark, took a bus, then a train up to Morningside Park (which was monumentally unsafe at the time. I was apt sitting and the note left by my sister’s friend was written, all caps, underlined, DO NOT GO INTO THE PARK).

That trip was great. I heart NYC. Looking for a Joust game in Times Square in places that advertised “Video Games” heh… Not to be found.

Oh I was a mess but it’s good to travel. Learn stuff. xo, Jackie in the sky
