If you had any doubts that Domino’s has completely given up, their hot new menu item is loose chicken on some butcher paper with some shit on top.
a rare current event commentary…sorry!
Lord knows there’s enough op-ed current event tweet/blog/statuses, but I can’t resist pointing out that TLC has always been a morally bankrupt turd factory of a channel.
If you can remember the appalling TLC series, “Tias and Tiaras,” then you probably remember the spin-off, “Here Comes Honey boo boo.” We can make fun of how white trash that family is, sure, but keep in mind that those goobers were exploited for peanuts (3k per ep for the whole bunch!). It became the number one show on television, and when the season was over and contracts were up for renewal, it was leaked that the mom was dating a child molester. Something TLC was well aware of. These networks comb through every detail of their products lives (I was a part of a NatGeo pilot that didn’t pan out, and they already needed to know about any prior arrests/charges I had before we finished filming it)…trust me: they know about everything, and especially anything damaging.
The show was canceled when they wanted to cancel it. The boo boo family(?) were able to demand their proper cut, and the show’s novelty would have likely worn off after another season…and the best part: TLC actually got to take the moral high ground by canceling the show after the news was somehow mysteriously leaked to TMZ.
So when I hear speculation about whether TLC knew of the allegations made against Duggar years ago, it’s like people STILL don’t get it….Of course they knew! Are you nuts? They don’t give a shit. They wouldn’t give a crippled crab a crutch. If the ratings were right, they’d do a “5 Molested Kids & Counting” spin-off. Of course Josh Duggar is an absolute monster. I just think it is sickening that people are actually applauding TLC for “taking the moral high ground” (AGAIN!) without realizing that they are in fact just standing on top of molested children.
Ok, sorry. As you were.
Me on the My Dumb Friends podcast
Episode #96: Andy “a man with needs” Sandford (“Conan,” “Aqua Teen Hunger Force”) joins the podcast to talk about an epic trip of debauchery that the now-sober Dan St Germain made to Atlanta several years ago - its amazing that they survived that lost weekend as well as this episode where Dan and Sean get on each other’s case to the point where Dan defends himself as “an American,” because “he has a beard, a balls, and a heart.” Tom also took advantage of the situation to chastise Sean and much yelling ensued.
How I Got That
***The folks over at Connected Comedy asked me to write a guest article about my recent appearance on CONAN. It’s definitely for comedians, but who knows, ya may find it interesting***
I recently got to live out a longtime dream of telling my dumb jokes on CONAN.
Any comedian who has achieved some sort of goal or milestone in comedy (big or small) has had another comedian ask them, “How’d you get that?”
The question itself can have a rude connotation. It can be taken as, “How’d YOU get that and not me?” It could also imply that you “got” it, as opposed to having earned it. That being said, I prefer to assume the best intentions behind “How’d you get that?” because I am very aware that comedy is a pursuit which can leave you aimlessly flummoxed, and there is no real guide book (sorry, Judy Carter).
So when Connected Comedy asked if I’d be interested in writing a guest article about the experience, I figured I’d write what I’d want to read about if I was reading this instead of writing it. So I’ll do my best to appease the me that would be reading this.
