Matt McCarthy

If you don't love Matt McCarthy, we are through.



And if you do, I hope you saw him perform the Tom Hanks breakdown scene from "Punchline" at Shtick or Treat Wednesday night. For it was glorious.

UPDATE" Matt just posted it.

The full site is up. I wrote like 80 kajillion pages on it. And came up with the dancing dog.

Droid Feedback

The word is out and the internet is a blaze with Droid. I've seen videos where a vlogger read all the copy from the teaser email capture site.

I've never been a part of something that had a huge response before. I'm working way hard to really notice it. In fact, I think I'm losing it since this guy totally appeals to me.

Droid

I've been cranking on this thing and now it's finally starting to come out. This is what two months of late nights, weekends and regular paychecks will get you.

There's more coming.

UPDATE: I've been quoted in AdAge. That's a first.

John and Molly Get Along

Last year Drucker and I made a workplace video with John Knefel. It went well and now he has another with his sister Molly. Their chemistry is fantastic and I always like seeing Dan Curry pop up anywhere. I'm also wondering how they were able to score such great locations. Definitely take a look.

Finances

Whenever I have no money, I never need anything.

Whenever I have a little money, I need action figures and comic books.

Whenever I have some money, I need hardcover graphic novels and Japanese action figures.

Whenever I have a lot of money, I need a guitar.

I am either a man of simple tastes or emotionally retarded.

Raiders of the Lost Ark "Premake"

I found this in an issue of "Enetrtainment Weekly" of all places. How will I maintain my edge?

It's still brilliant; a bunch of classic clips edited together to a reasonable 1951 version of "Raiders" with Charlton Heston, Gregory Peck and Peter Lorre. It's hard to explain but it holds together very well.

Astoria Comedians

The NY Times has an article about Astoria comedians that mentions a ton of people I know. It doesn't mention me but they missed a few other guys as well. I'll try not to take it personally.

Marc Maron

I love Marc Maron. He's the type of comic I thought I was going to be when I started stand-up. Until I found out nobody wanted that.

I loved his Air America show "Morning Sedition". Then they fired him. They gave him something else. And fired him. He's been fired so many times that now he has to run his own podcast "WTF". And it's awesome. You should listen to it.

Hot Pockets

I'm so fried now this is all I can think about. And giggle.

More songs from Crash Mansion!

You can hear and see everybody better in these songs. Thanks to Geoff Unger for taping the whole show and continuing to put them up.

Spider-Man Lizard

Not Spider-Man FIGHTING the Lizard (that would be obvious) but an actual lizard that looks like Spider-Man.

Thank you nature for once again listening to Stan Lee. Here he is.
