I called in towards the end of the show and Tom had some exceedingly kind words to say about Daily Urban Legend. The whole show is a gigantic W and you should definitely give a listen if you haven’t already.
Hearing talk of Daily Urban Legend on The Best Show is...

Kyle Downes was Larry Tudgeman - the nerd - on Lizzie McGuire. A really, really nice kid and a super talented actor. We used to joke that he could play a young Mr. Bean as he looked exactly like him.
Kyle elevated Larry Tudgeman beyond the butt of the joke. He could find the heart in every scene.
I ran into Kyle a few years ago at Gallery 1988. He looked, well, just like he...

Jen Kirkman - comedian: "It's Who You Know" →
jenkirkman:

This is good advice no matter what business you are in or trying to break into.

Yay February
This first appeared many years ago on my old blog but it still holds true.
February may be my favorite month of the year, you know why? Presidents Day, that’s why. My family has always been big on celebrating the lesser holidays and after Bastille Day, Presidents Day was my favorite holiday as a kid. It started in kind of a weird way, the year that my brother made a big deal about...
