My place in Uptown Minneapolis. (address redacted until confirmation.)

I have room for about 5 listener, but only 4 if we do an awkward photo shoot before the viewing. “Put the whiskey close your face.”

My god. The child molester episode of Workaholics is the funniest damn thing I’ve ever seen. the actor that played the molester (forgot the actor’s name) should win an award for that role. Seriously.

YESDUDE! He also plays the boyfriend in that horrible “Whitney” show… I can’t believe one man can be so funny and so horrible at the same time!

Whitney. That shit is garbage, but he’s tolerable on it. And let’s face it, Whitney Cummings is easy on the eyes. So as awful as the show is, it could be way worse. Frankly, I’m surprised it survived long enough to be moved to a different night. I really didn’t think it would last more than an ep or two. And yet, they put Community on hiatus. What kind of horse shit is that?

Holla, Mike! (There are a few different sign-in options. Probably some weirdness with that.)

Schedule-shifting is often a bad sign. Networks want to keep high-performing shows where they are to anchor less-popular shows around. I haven’t seen more than 5 minutes of “Whitney,” and they were 5 horrible minutes.

There’s no excuse for how they’re treating “Community.” Maybe I’ll get into it on an upcoming show…

Just a practically useful tip for Ben and the others ridin in trucks.

Fill the truck bed with snow. I know this doesn’t work when there is no snow but an abundance of ice, but feel I should warn of the problem with placing weights, cinderblocks, etc. in the bed.

Should you come to an abrupt stop (like hitting a vehicle or something solid), not only will you have problems because of the impact, but if not properly secured, the weight in the back will fly through the back window and likely into the head of the driver and/or passengers. Having lived in icy regions, this scenario was sadly reported in the news frequently around my area.

Sandbags are better but are still projectiles when traveling at a decent speed and coming to a sudden stop. If you have a solid bed cover, you’re in better shape. Snow is weighty and it melts so you don’t have to unload the bed when the conditions warm up and shit starts to thaw.

Hope this helps!!
