We're in that episode of The Twilight Zone where if you push a button, someone you don't know dies, but you get a million dollars. Except, instead of a million dollars, people are doing it for a Chili's happy hour.
People talk a lot about failed Hollywood relationships, so it's nice to take a moment to remember that Gonzo and Camilla have been together for almost 50 years.

In America, if you see something you believe is wrong with the country, you have the absolute freedom to say so, and to try and change it. "Love it or leave it" is the anti-democratic sentiment. It is the language of authoritarianism. You are a cancer on this country's ideals.

-- Idea to defuse Donald Trump's attacks on you: Every time he calls you "radical," just make sure it's accompanied by an awesome guitar sting. You can have that for free.
Me, about to die:
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn't believe. Peter Boyle as a dog cop named Poochinski. I watched Larry Miller voice a gay bat in a movie about sentient corporate mascots. A cat... who talked?!? All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”

Don't be a doof. If he said "drug companies" I'd be the first to agree. But there's a context here that can't be ignored. I'm not simping for anything. I'm against anti-vax sentiment or anything that amplifies that message.
When I die, please take the approximately 450 hours of me podcasting, and use that data to put my consciousness in a toaster or something. A toaster that's constantly being berated by his two best friend toasters.
Things I've turned around on entirely now that I'm middle-aged and not a kid:
- Getting socks as gifts
- Oatmeal
- Sitting outside quietly, just kind of looking at trees
Last night I sang the line "I love vaginas" on The Daily Show. Apparently when my (sweet) mother was informed, she said "Oh, hell. At least he gets residuals." And while I *don't* get residuals for singing, I'm impressed by her surprisingly sophisticated understanding of showbiz.

Thank God you weighed in with your fire expertise! And on the most useful forum! Quick, Mr. President, if you get over there, you can still help!
Some woman I passed on the street pointed to my Flop House t-shirt and said “I love that show!”
Apologies, kind passerby, for not identifying myself as being ON that show, but it would involve admitting that I was wearing a shirt for my own podcast.
I’ve been concerned that catastrophically poor messaging from the anti-science Trump years and the generally awful science reporting in the media has made the value of “less effective” vaccines dangerously unclear. These paragraphs from the NYT really help:
Time Magazine wanted to take me to prom, but they asked me to promise that we'd go steady first and I was like "get off my dick, Time Magazine, no one owns the wind."
If someone gets the vaccine, be happy for them — don’t quiz them about how they qualified. It’s quite likely they might be uncomfortable sharing medical info. I see the slow rollout causing a fair amount of sniping amongst folk who should know better. The goal is health for all.
Dear Hollywood — I would like to see

as an old west doctor. Or lawyer. Or banker. Some sort of profession in the old west. Not cowboy. Sorry John.
In Jungian psychology, there are 5 archetypes: the "baby," the "sporty," the "scary," the "posh," and the "person who is defined entirely by their hair color."
I like cats because they share my exact friendship style. I'm skittish around you until you've logged a ton of hours in my general proximity, at which point a switch will flip, and I'll be warm and affectionate for as long as I can personally stand, at which point I will go nap.
These "Muppet Babies" claim that they "make their dreams come true," and will "do the same for you." Do NOT listen to them. They want you to sell dietary supplements. It's a pyramid scheme.
Dungeons and Dragons has both one of Michelle Rodriguez's best and worst performances.
Best: Holga
Worst: Woman in PSA thanking you for coming to the theater who wants to be there and wouldn't desperately rather be doing anything else.
"I don't understand how journalism or 'sources' work, because -- and this is the key thing to understand -- as the incel who writes 'Dilbert' I am woefully unqualified to comment on any of this, and will interpret any bad attention for my idiocy as confirmation of my genius."
I may have said this before but I reject the premise of movies where Santa is real but adults don't believe in him, because why *wouldn't* adults believe when kids across the globe are getting GODDAMN PRESENTS the parents KNOW FOR DAMN SURE THEY DIDN'T BUY?
TFW your podcast player’s time bar is 75% to the end and you’re sad that the show’s almost over, but then you realize you’re listening to

, and that tiny remaining bar is actually 45 more minutes of a three hour show.

I wish that — just once — back when David Bowie was still with us, his band would’ve started the intro to “Changes,” and Bowie would’ve stepped up to the mic and sang “Ch-ch-ch... Chip and Dale’s—Rescue Rangers...”
