And it made my day.

Hi Matt,

Thanks very much for the signed photo. You really made me happy.

Best wishes from a Danish friend,

P.S. His name is awesome.

Went in yesterday for an audition and remembered three of my friends were working in the same building. The waiting area for my audition was half-full with guys, so I figured I had some time to kill. I went down the hall to find them.

Now, while I was signing in, I heard things coming from their area of the building. Basically, I heard a couple guys going, “What’s up, bro?!” and “Hey man!” then intermittently cheering loudly.

The guys in question are Chris Romano, Eric Falconer, and JD Ryznar. Chris and Eric recently created “Blue Mountain State,” and Chris stars as Sammy the mascot guy. JD writes for the show. If you follow Channel 101, you know Chris and Eric from several shows, and Chris for being naked a lot. JD you would know as the creator and star (Michael McDonald) of Yacht Rock.

I walk into their sparse office to find them scrunched together on a couch staring into a laptop. They saw me and cheered. Again. I asked what the cheering was about. They informed me that they’d just discovered Chatroulette. “Just discovered?” I asked. “I know!,” said Chris. See, Chris is one of those guys who loves weird stuff and truly, honestly does not give a fuck. I’ve maybe seen him naked more than any other man I know. Onscreen. At one of the 101 screenings he and his new baby, both naked, shot lasers out of their penises. Onscreen.

Anyway, what they were doing is waiting until someone came on on Chatroulette, then loudly saying hello. As a team. Or, when a guy came up whacking it (which is often on there), they would loudly cheer and cheer him on. The guy would then quickly sign off. I sat with them and did it for a while, making it FOUR guys on the couch cheering them on. After a couple rounds, though, I had to stop. Seeing the faces of men from all over the world fall as they saw a couch full of guys started to get to me, even as I laughed.

Still, great way to pass the time waiting to audition. Thanks, guys!

are going to Maui this week to throw virgin boys into a volcano. They’re religious.

Tonight at 6 to 8 PM Pacific time tune in for fun and hijinks with Matt Dwyer, myself, and special guest Kumail Nanjiani. Kumail and I started out together in Chicago, so I’m really excited to have him on the show.

I always think of servers. That is, waiters and waitresses. Because today is, typically, a shit day for them. Nothing but two-tops (tables with only two people) and the people generally stay a long, long time. What they call “campers.” They stare into each others’ eyes, linger over the (oftentimes pink) menu, and split a dessert. All over the course of three hours.

I waited tables for six years, and always dreaded this day. If you go out tonight, go with a group or tip big. And if you’re a guy, don’t break your neck (or your server’s) trying to “make everything special.” If you’re lousy as a boyfriend, no cherries jubilee in the world will fix it.
