"How The Comedy Nerds Took Over" (NYTimes.com)

Haven’t heard Bill Burr’s podcast itself (doing daily subway rides instead of daily car trips is dramatically cutting down my podcast listening), but it sounds like he’s hitting on the biggest divide in stand-up today.

Right now I buy into the idea that comics are all just playing the “sport” that fits their skills, and everybody should just go see/watch whoever makes them laugh.

We’re back with our 11th podcast with very special guest Alex Schmidt! We’re sad to see Alex leave Los Angeles, but he’s off to bigger and better things working at

It’s always a pleasure to be on this podcast and I’m hoping those guys can come east very soon. Cats included.

I got to be a guest on Episode #10 of the Hello Nerds! podcast.  Had a great time with Alley/Monika/Adam/Aldrin as always, and we went deep into Game Of Thrones and The Walking Dead, and a surprise show that’s your favorite show.  Listen here!

I got to appear on the “Hello Nerds” podcast!  Alley, Aldrin, Adam, and Monika are a great bunch and put up with me wonderfully, I had a blast.  Their podcast is blowing up, and with good reason.  Get it on iTunes or direct from them and hear me finish 5th out of 5 in a test of knowledge!

"It’s like you saying, “You know I like making crafted furniture, but I live on an oil rig to make oil.” The furniture you make doesn’t matter. You’re on the oil rig, and the oil rig is Los Angeles, and Los Angeles is in my opinion as horrible to live on as an oil rig, and you’re not here for the scenery, you’re here to learn the business."
