My guest this episode is Jimmy Pardo, host and creator of the fantastic podcast Never Not Funny. He's such a fascinating comic that it took most of the show for me to get to the fact that he’s a Fantasy Baseball dork. Fantasy Baseball seems to be that you get a list of players and you WATCH their stats for the season. Fascinating! You will note how much I like Jimmy because I won’t let him talk. I beginning to see it as a symptom of something.
I sound like I still have some sort of head infection, don’t I? Boo. I had an ear infection and it’s moved to my sinuses (as my acupuncturist said - English not her first language – though MUCH better than my Cantonese, “behind your face is one piece of meat.” i.e. the infection has spread). My Ear, Nose and Throat doctor tested my hearing and I’ve lost 30% in my right ear. But he doesn’t know what to do about it. His recommendation? That I send a video to SNL to audition for them. i.e. I need a new ENT guy.

Loud "amen!"s also awarded to the suckage of Spring Awakening, smuggest show ever and to "cannot recommend" those sadistic Dragon Tattoo books. What the hell is wrong with people?
Great podcast, thanks!
By the by, the image in my head of a school-aged Jackie Kashian standing in the Principal's office saying "You got your cut" made me burst out laughing.
Otherwise, an utterly charming hour+. When Pardo isn't doing the fake brusque, you two are just about the most affable of the podcast hosts I hear, so it's no surprise that you could do a good show lightly touching on the various dorkery you did.
Nancy Grace genuinely is evil, indeed...though perhaps the creeps do tend to get around a bit more than the skeptics would like to believe, if less than the exploiters such as Grace and DATELINE's unit would enjoy having us think...and, to be sure, not all of them are male (quite aside from the annual discovery of a high-school teacher dating her 14yo student).
