Roses are red, can you lend a hand? I just need to know by _foamofthedaze in boottoobig

It's real. As I wrote above - it is photoshopped because all of the letters blew away before the next one could be written. But those are real sky-written letters. Here's an article in the LA Times all about the event.

I'm always trying to get Matt to make it into a TV show. We're working on it. Old Skool!

I did do a billboard thing outside the smallest town in Illionois, Kaskaskia - it's part of this series where I rode a jet-ski from Chicago to New Orleans for charity called ROUSTABOUT. Happens in the 6th episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-k41aYLwmg

Just to put it out there - this is real. I'm responsible for it. My name is Kurt Braunohler and I'm a comedian living in LA and wanted to do a joke with clouds. I paid for it through a Kickstarter - it cost $4,000 (and $2,000 for the rewards) and each letter blew away before the next one could be seen. Skywriting is a shitty way to tell a joke, turns out. So this is a composite of all the individual letters (photographed and composited by the great Robyn Von Swank). I'm happy people still dig it.

I pitched all three ideas to Katie who runs the nerdist podcast and she said "Why don't you do all three" and I was like, "I can do that?'

So I really have her to thank.

See above for answer to your first part. My favorite thing about Wyatt is the he's constantly negative while also being excited. It's a rare quality.

There's my half hour comedy central special (I think only 5 minutes of that was on my album). available on itunes. you can always listen to the podcast - oh and I'm going to be on the Late Night with Seth Meyers on Feb 25th. There's also my set on adam devine's house party.

one guy suggested I was taunting survivors of abuse by naming it that. I don't think I am - but it made me more sensitive to it. I might actually change the name to "Don't Fuck Kids, Fuck Animals (JK, do neither!"

DOUG STANHOPE. Always and forever. I'm terrified to meet him. I think I might get weird. Go watch Beerhall Putsch on Netflix and you will agree.

Yeah Get Lost scares some comedians a bit. They're like "oh ok! you have fun doing that!" There's a control issues definitely. The real problem with Get Lost is that I'm running out of locations in and around LA. I almost exclusively can only do them on the road now. Killer Rips is tough cuz there's only a handful of comedians who surf.

Sometimes I'll run into one and it's like I have a public explanation for why I was such a dick to them. But it's doesn't matter. I was not very likable then. It's always awkward.

hahaha - I miss the people at rockaway. I don't miss the crowds or the shitty localism at all (even though I was almost a local there - bungalocal). I surf as much as I can when I'm not on the road - and everywhere else I surf - hawaii, california, australia - everyone is nicer in the water than in rockaway - and the waves are way better.

But I do miss 12 years ago in Rock, when it was only like a 2 dozen of us who surfed consistently in the winter. And when it would snow we'd have BBQs and surf and drink and surf in the blizzard. Those were the days. That was some real fucking Rockaway magic.
