Well I’m happy to field this one. I had tucked in my undershirt, because the shirt I was wearing was kind of short and I thought it looked sloppy to have it hanging out. I did not anticipate my torso appearing in extreme close-up, but then one never does. Read more

It could happen, but probably only by accident. Read more

He really and truly is the coolest baseball player of his era. Which is saying a lot given that Kent Tekulve was on his team. Read more

I don’t remember her saying it on the podcast. Drew pointed out that it’s now kind of a signpost on the road to Being An Old, and she is young enough to be on the right side of that. But I feel like a media-consuming person not having seen Seinfeld is the equivalent of those sportscaster types who casually mention Read more

Also to be earnest for a minute: I still think of myself as being new here, but I read the site for many years and have worked enough places to know how extraordinary it is that the people reading this site don’t just care about it, but are a part of it and have this real relationship with the people that work here. Read more

Obviously I now support all the terrible and completely unnecessary traumas that have been visited upon this site because everyone is telling me I’m okay. Look let’s give this guy’s vision a chance please. Read more

Well let’s assume Megan’s will be worse. Egg salad on wheat or something. O what a terrible woman! Read more

I’m going to have Megan text me one in a couple weeks. Just be like “hit me with some fire on sandwiches” and watch her come through with “the only acceptable sandwich is croque madame, all others are illegitimate.” Read more

Thank you very much for this. I have had a very difficult time getting myself to do anything the last couple weeks, so the encouragement is very much appreciated. Read more

This is a personal favorite of mine, as a late person and also as a music-liker. Read more

Yeah I know what you’re talking about and it worked very well for me, too. Or like scrunching up its little puppet face in disbelief or disgust. That also worked. It might be that I just really like puppets? Read more

It was him and Kiran, I think. So basically the best videos we’ve featured were both made by and performed by our video people. I need to find my puppet before it gets thrown out by accident, so thank you for the reminder on that. Read more

Kind of feeling like Kyle MacLachlan immediately after having been sucked through the socket in the Twin Peaks reboot right now. Consider this me giving you an obviously damaged thumbs up. Read more

Mine are roasted by everybody, so I consider you as getting off easy, there. The weird thing is that I actually do have a decent number of shirts, but they’re all extremely similar and I do somehow wind up wearing this one in a disproportionate number of videos.  Read more

This means a lot, because I remember the Dudley Meets A Creeper one of Diff’rent Strokes. Read more

These are reasonable caveats, but I think Gruden’s got a way more functional brain than Trump. It’s all weird MC Escher staircases and Successories posters but he is definitely working really hard in there. Trump’s is just like a nerf ball floating in a bowl of vinegar. Read more
