This is the last thing I’m looking at tonight before bed. Thanks.
“The Christian Life” by The Louvin Brothers from Satan is Real (1959).
Been listening to a ton of the Louvin Brothers lately. This song is amazing and “Satan is Real” is the greatest of all album covers. Ever.
Oh, good Lord.

This is my cousin Christain Bailey. He has been missing since the night of January 21st, 2012. He was last seen in Oklahoma City heading south in a black SUV with 3-4 other friends. He is 15 years old. If you hear or see anything regarding his disapearance please contact Joetta Presley at 1-405-593-2794 or the Oklahoma City Police Department. Please reblog this and keep this going we really want him to come home safe.
Midnight Snack: Izakaya Honda-ya with Matt Braunger
Matt: Octopus baaaaalls.
Henry: I take it you like them.
Matt: They’re great.
Henry: I’m so afraid of octopus. Ever since watching people eat raw baby octopus in Korean BBQ restaurants, you know, with whole baby body you pop in your mouth like popcorn?
Matt: Sure sure.
Henry: Horrifies me. Is it good?
Matt: It is, but I eat a lot of weird stuff. I’ll eat whatever I can get that’s odd and within reason. I just got this cookbook from a restaurant in Montreal called “Joe Beef” that’s high end but really into partying and overdoing it, food-wise. I only bring it up because, in Montreal, they almost have a tradition of good eating but indulgent eating, crazy indulgent, where it’s like French times ten, and one of the recipes calls for horse meat, and I’m just like, “Come on. Horse? Really?”….
Henry: You mentioned you were in New York. You were shooting something for Comedy Central, right?
Matt: I shot an hour special.Henry: How is it?
Matt: I like it. I watched the first cut today. It’s so hard to watch yourself. Oh my god, it’s like “What are you doing? Stop walking around. Don’t do that. Look straight ahead.” You get so self-critical. You’ve heard your jokes a million times. You think you don’t have an ounce of charisma. It’s just like anybody - when you see yourself, you’re just like, “Good God, I’m a fat asshole.” I remember when I first came to LA, I started doing commercials to make money, and the first time I saw myself on TV - it was a Christmas ad for Macy’s - and when I came on TV, my first thought was, “I know that dick.”
Here’s an interview with me at a favorite Izakaya in downtown Los Angeles. Enjoy my awkwardness.
WHOA. Best picture of all time, perhaps?
Hey, I’ll be at the Josh and Josh show in Los Angeles, in San Francisco for Sketchfest, in Virginia at the Arlington Drafthouse, in Madison at the Comedy Club on State, and Vancouver B.C. for the Vancouver Comedy Festival.
