@paulscheer @am_cinematheque I do Paul. I could put you guys in touch

If anyone knows Savage Steve Holland let him know Amy Nicholson and I are hosting a night celebrating ONE CRAZY SUMMER @am_cinematheque on 8/26 americancinematheque.com/now-showing/un…

@vinylonsale @TheWaxMuseum_ Duran Duran’s Wedding Album, Weird Al’s Off the Deep End, Better Than Ezra Deluxe and The Craft soundtrack.

For @TheWaxMuseum_ newsletter, I listed ten personal vinyl grails that I'd love to see repressed and not have to pay eye-watering prices for: thewaxmuseum.rocks/p/vinyl-that-n… What is your white whale?

Weird day in New York City. First there’s an earthquake just days before a total solar eclipse—then I walk outside and find this strange and unusual plant?

You can try to live off the grid, but Shen Yun and Camp Lejeune will find you.

They asked me to come up with a couple specialty cocktails for one of our @SFSketchfest parties — I promise it tastes good, @EricIdle ! Also, they didn’t use “Weird Mezcal” Yankovic or Triumph the Insult Comic Grog.

The @Lions' historic playoff run means a little something extra to these three Detroit fans 💙

#LISTEN: In this episode of Bay Current, we sit down with @SFSketchfest co-founder @colestratton to talk about this year's 21st annual comedy festival, what makes San Francisco a good audience and the legacy of “Nash Bridges.” omny.fm/shows/bay-curr…

@Slate Uhhh “brave” piece from a guy who clearly knows comedy soooo well starting from his profile pic (he’s wearing a snorkel! Indoors!). Short is a genius. The end.

Another movie day, which means it’s another viewing of the “Oppenheimer” trailer, which I’ve seen 20+ times (I’m. Not. Kidding). I like Nolan and all, but this barrage of advertising for 6 months makes me hope it gets trounced by Barbie opening weekend.

I have just released the deluxe edition of my IPA-Core piece, now with a bonus Spotify playlist. YEEEEEAHHH. esqr.co/UiPu7fD

ME: “HBO, that’s great name recognition.” HBO: “Lose it. Be Max.” ME: “But isn’t there Cinemax. That already has max in it and —“ HBO: “I SAID LOSE IT. Oh, and make the new app insanely glitchy.” ME: “I don’t work for you. How did you get this number?”

Thanks to everyone who came to our super fun Pretty Pretty Pony show last night with guest @MarcEvanJackson
