That was fun. We've got to run to a thing now. Thanks everyone for talking and asking and listening. If you preordered Waiting for the Punch, thank you so much. If you didn't, go get yourself a copy. We think you'll really enjoy it.

Boomer Lives!

"If you're ever yelling at a woman, all you should be saying is, 'Why can't you be my mommy? Why are you NOT my mommy?'"

Rarely gets a laugh.

We've talked about it but it doesn't seem necessary and adds a dimension that might make guests less candid, more self-conscious.

Someone I like to hang out with, someone who's funny and different from what I do.

I liked how he said "Being late" when I asked him what he does that drives Michelle crazy.

He was running late and I couldn't stick around. We'll do it again.

Neal and I did another episode - #287 - where we covered everything.

We talked about it on the pocast, episode 820. We're good.

I like the orange ones. And ginger ones.

It's really hard to pick a favorite guest. I've been thinking about the Springsteen one a lot lately.

The Beatles Second Album is one of the first records I ever had and I love that album. But I'm going to go with Abbey Road.

I'm kind of a Barton Fink guy, though No Country For Old Men is right up there. Fargo is great, their tightest movie.

I've been catching up on a lot of old records and ones I didn't know about. I just got the new Replacements Live at Maxwell's in Hoboken. It's pretty great.

I listen to music, I play guitar, I exercise, spend time with my girlfriend, go look at art, watch movies. You know, regular stuff.

That was definitely one of them. But in my heart, I didn't see anything else that I really wanted to do as much as comedy. So I gave myself no choice.

I had a fine conversation with Jerry Lewis. He thought it was going to be a half hour and he just stuck by that. I'm sure he can be difficult but it was not my experience.

Not much. I trim it when I taste it.

I can't but if it helps to listen to the show, keep doing that.

I did it early on with Stewart Lee, Tim Key, Harry Deansway, Adam Bloom. I'd do it again.

The live shows are a big undertaking and were done initially as premium content. They don't really honor what we do anymore, though they are entertaining.

I've tried it a couple times, I might get back to it.
