We flew from Chicago due to the too long of a drive. Luckily, I got to fly with Eric a little later than the rest of the crew. St. Paul is beautiful y'all. I thought I was in Europe or something. This picture doesn't do it justice but it's all I've got.
I wanted to eat at an establishment that had more than just one vegan option, so Eric and I dined at a highly rated Ethiopian 2023-10-09 18:07:18 +0000 UTC View Post
Good Sunday to you!
I'm here recovering for one hell of a Saturday. Yesterday we went to Disneyland for Charlie's 7th Birthday. We went with the Carlins, as Matt's daughter Stella is one of Charlie's closest friends. It was hot and crowded folks. Boy they pack em in! Marilyn and Christina had a plan for where to park, and what rides to hit (all with Charlie's approvals) so Matt and I just kinda went along for the ride and tried to be helpful...

I remember passing by it tons of times when I lived there. 10/10 bathroom experience, complete with high tech remote-controlled bidet. Took me a while to figure out how to turn it off but that’s ok because it was cold outside and it had a heated seat. I was worried about the venue being so huge. Sometimes it’s hard to connect with the crowd in that situat...
2023-10-07 22:46:26 +0000 UTC View PostLast night was the best show of the tour so far. The venue “The Rave” was perfect for our show. The shabby, yet homey decor was a nice contrast to the brutal edifice we inhabited the night before.
Midwest crowds rule. Generally friendly, humble folks (like me :) The celebrity guest was Milwaukee legend “Milverine,” a guy who see...
Back in the minivan. Currently discussing DEVO, a band that I admire and want to like but never connected with. “Whip It” is a banger for sure. Maybe I’ll give it a proper shot during this 5+ hour drive to Milwaukee. We played at a huge venue called The Factory in Chesterfield, MO last night. I did well, word has it that the sound guys and stagehands were all cracking up during my set, so that’s a good sign.
Clownvis was the celebrity guest. I saw him for the first time withou...
We got cozy with guest co-host A.D. Miles sitting in the Doug chair, Joe Pera zooming in from New York to reschedule for a future appearance and Buck Meek (from Big Thief) performing "Lagrimas" with Joseph the human capo and spooky sound effects by our own Vic Berger. PLUS, we dove into Jordan Peterson's new online university, and Tim shared his new weirdo of the week, Aubrey Marcus.

I am currently in a minivan. JP is at the helm. We are driving to St. Louis. I brought my skateboard along thinking I could get some exercise in my free time. Starting to think that might not happen since we have to leave around 8am most days to get to the next town. No cozy tour bus driving through the night. We get to sleep in a hotel but not too many z’s so far. This is my first tour sans alcohol, that could have something to do with it. Sure is easy to conk out after about 6 Modelos. No...

Mike Hickey, AKA Major Entertainer, who is always a great hang. The wildcard is Joe Holliday, the props master and puppeteer who controls “The Fridge Keeper.” He’s only a wildcard because we just met but so far, he has an abundance of great...

There's a lot of talk about unions these days, and I think we should just take a moment and remind ourselves that there are other people on the management side that deserve some credit too. The JOB Creators who make out wonderful world spin each and every day.
