How I Know My Girlfriend Loves Me

Tonight was the first People I Like show at our new venue, Mundial. We had some great sets turned in by all. We're still building an audience for the show so we didn't have as many people as would have liked.

Mundial is judging our worthiness based on how many drinks our sold so it was important that people drink a lot. When is it began to look like the bar was not going to be as busy as we had wanted my girlfriend Joy took it upon herself to carry the weight of the show and drink, drink drink her way to a successful show.

Right now she is passed out on the bed, in the cloths she had on all day, occasionally looking up and saying "I don't feel so good." She drank so much that she now feels horrible.

She drank that much because she loves. And that's cool.

Don't Send My Regards to Broadway

I haven't been to a Broadway in a while. Odds are you haven't either. Today I had to head over to the area to buy tickets to a show for my parents. (it's their 25th anniversary. Way to go them!!!). I got them tickets to Jersey Boys (don't worry, they already know about it. It's the only thing that they wanted so it was what I had to get.)

When i got to the ticket office I found out that the soonest you could get any two seats anywhere in the theater was 4 months away. The soonest you could get them in the first 5 rows of the mezzanine was mid March. God damn it!

Okay, maybe it's a good show (although i doubt it) but think about that for a moment. There are about 600 Seats in the theater, 8 shows a week and 25 weeks before I can buy a mezzanine seat. That's 120,000 people seeing this show. And that's at an average of $100 a seat.

I produce a show, which is very funny and free and I can barely get 20 people in the door for an average show. Come on Jersey Boys. Stop taking all the people. Just give me something like 50 a week. That will have no effect on you at all, but to me, I will be happy every week.

If I ever see you walking down a dark street Jersey Boys, I am going kick your ass.

The Last Baseball Post For A While!

I played little league for three years. In those three years we won the "world series" of our little crappy league all three years. The second year, we only lost one game. That last year we won every single game.

During that entire time I never contributed to one out. Not one! I mean, really what are the odds of that? 3 seasons. 15 games per season. 9 innings per game. 3 outs per inning. For those keeping score at home, that's 1215 outs. I never helped with one of those outs. It would seem like I would have had to have gone out of my way to accomplish that task, but to me it just comes natural.

However, I did score the winning run in the "world series" the second year. Here's the story. It's the bottom of the 8th. The score is tied. 1 out. I'm up to bat. Before the I got up to bat the coach pulled me aside and said "Take two strikes before your swing". For those that don't know, that means, "you can't hit to save your life, so hope for a walk". You know what, it worked. I walked on 4 straight balls. Next up, the best kid on our team. He crushes the first pitch. It's high. It's far. It's caught by the outfielder. I tag up. The outfielder throws to first instead of second. I round second, head to third. The first baseman over throws third. I break for home. The third baseman over throws home. I score. We hold on for the win. I get covered in beer even though I am 10 years old.

6 Thing You Should Shout at Baseball Games...

Hey (player you don't like) you don't stand for good family values!!!

I'm content with your performance thus far (your favorite team).

Stop sucking!!!

Play better baseball!

You should practice the fundamentals!

Nobody like you (player you don't like)!

The Mets Win...so that happened.

Tonight I saw the New York Mets clich the N.L. East title for the first time in (I have no idea) years. I'm a Yankees fan, so to be honest with you I didn't really care all that much about the Mets doing well but hell, I'm from New York, so Go New York, Go New York, Go New York, Go!

Here's my question, and please if you know the answer respond, who do we still do the Daan danta da CHARGE! chant. I understand "We Will Rock You". I understand that Gary Glitter song, but the Charge thing, isn't that from the Revolutionary war? We're still using chants from the revolutionary war? I think we can put that to bed at this point. Haven't we learned that other than America's independence, everything that people did, said and every way they acted was wrong. Slavery. Getting really pissed about Tea. Cobbling.

Stay tuned for tomorrow when I will be blogging my list of fun things I like to yell at baseball games that I think other people should yell out too.

Seriously, The Q Train????

Has anyone else noticed that at night the Q train comes like all the time. I take the N and it seems like it's 5 Q trains for ever N. Are that man people taking the Q? I know exactly 2 people who take the Q and neither of them want to be taking the Q. Does that mean the Q is just a pity train?

How can the Q train live with itself when it knows that the G train only comes about once every 4 hours and never on the weekends.

Firefox - Get Up On It.

Yo, you gots to check out Firefox. I just discovered that bitch today and it's off the chain y'all. Like so dope I am talking in street slang son. Firefox pops a cap in the ass of pop-ups. Ads on a page are as gone as (something).

Check it, before you wreck it, (by it, the first time I mean Firefox, the second time I mean yourself. In otherwords, don't wreck yourself. What would be a really funny obituary though. Today we are here to remember (your name) who had to leave us so early because (he/she/it) totally wrecked (himself/herself/itself). It would sound funny, unless Ice Cube was saying it.)

Hey, I'm back

I'm back but I'm not telling anyone I know. Heck, no one reads these things anyway.

I've got news too. Poker Night is coming back, but this time it's going to be different. First of all it's got a new name, it's called "People I Like,,,". There is a bit more to the title, but I don't know what is it.

You don't know the name of your own show, you ask. No, I talked about it with my co-producer Nick and he wrote it down. At least I hope he did. I think he did.

The format is going to be a little different too. Longer sets. Fun sketches. New Venue. It's going to be a whole new thing. Not like any other show you have seen.

Poker Night - May 9th

Hey, the next one is coming up. You should check it out. Who will be there:

Seth Herzog
Claudia Cogan
Josh Grosvent
Gabe and Jenny
Trophy Dad

DJ Tanner (katherine bryant) will be spinning tunes and Jack Kukoda will be returning as a guest co-host.

See ya there.

Monster Ballads - You know you love it

Let's all admit it people. When the commercial for Monster Ballads comes on, there is a part of you that goes, "Fuckin' Yeah." Monster Ballads rule. I believe that when history looks back on music compilation CD's that Monster Ballads will be known as the best CD ever to be printed. It is the Citizen Kane of CD compilations. The Mona Lisa. The sliced bread. The Double Stuffed Oreo that’s also covered in chocolate of music.

So you’re asking yourself, why is this CD so good? Why could it possible by be the resurrection of Christ in CD form. I’ll tell you why, at least for me. People it deals with the internal paradox that is living within me. Everybody knows that there are two parts of me.

Part 1: The God Damn Butt Kickin’ Party Dude
If you know me, you know I love to party. Party Harty Marty, I always say to Marty. Much like Poison I enjoy Nothin’ But A Good Time or like Warrant, I enjoy Cherry Pie.

Part 2: Sensitive Ass Mother F’er
I admit it. Sometimes I just gotta cry. Gotta get it out. I gotta know, Is This Love. I need to understand it in More Than Words. I guess I just need Something to Believe In.

You see, if these hardcore rockers can take it down a notch, then so can I. I can still be the guy who isn’t afraid to cut a guy for looking at me the wrong way, and then cry a tear because my lady doesn’t understand me.

Thank you Monster Ballads for telling me that it’s okay.

Do something nice!

A friend of mine is involved in a really great fundraiser to help cancer survivers this weekend. Please take a moment to check it out, attend if you can.

Why Did It Take So Long?

What is the most amazing invention of the last 50 years? The Internet? Cell Phones? NO! Come on people, it's the chocolate fountain. My only question is, what took so long? It's a river of amazing chocolate, perfect for you dip things in it.

It seems to me that something like this should have been invented before the cell phone. It was easier. It in many ways makes people happier. I remember the first time I saw one. It was at the wedding of a good friend of mine. People looked at it as though it held the cure for cancer and all they needed to do was place a strawberry on a stick and dip it in, and all of their problems would be solved. And in a small way they were. People who are happy live longer. So I think the fountain is a cure for some stuff.

Sure you may say that the fountain is also a cause of being fat. Okay, yes. But isn't that why we invented the internet and the cell phone? So we wouldn't have to move....Ever!

Caroline's Went Great

For those of you who couldn't make it to Caroline's, it went great. I was so proud of all the Skeegers. It really was a great show and the audience loved it.

If you don't know the history of Skeeger, the whole thing started in a now defunct theater above the famous porn theater Show World. It was a rough going for a while and the group went through many transitions. To come this far was amazing. I felt so happy for all of them. They accomplished so much in what is really a small amount of time.

Good job Skeeger!!!

That Satan Is One Clever Dude (sources say)

When I was in college, the guy who lived next to me was very Catholic. As a very not religious person, one of my favorite activities was to ask him questions that would undermine his faith in the bible.

Examples:
If the whole bible is true, but Genesis has 2 stories of creation, how can both stories be true?

According to the Bible, before Jesus died, there was no heaven. Isn't that a dick move to all the people who lived before Jesus?

Babies can't get confirmed, so they can't go to heaven. Is that not also a super dick move by God.

But my favorite question and my favorite answer that he gave was for the following question: What up with dinosaurs? His answer - Satan. That's right. Satan created dinosaurs. Why? To help destroy people's faith in Christ. I laughed for like 20 minutes. Apparently, Satan understood that we would one day come up with the theory of evolution and made sure that his bones matched ours close enough.

The thing is, after I though about it for a while. I was like, damn, I know that's totally wrong, but if it was true, that Satan is one clever dude. I mean, if he puts a big burning flame in the sky that says Jesus Was Not The Son of God, well then we totally know he is. But bones are so subtle. So if it's true, way to go Satan, because you totally got me.

(oh, and as far as the questions above. God can do anything and we can't understand it, but both stories are true. Yes, both of those two things are a dick move, but God has his reasons for anything. Which just made me wonder, why would you be into someone who's such a jerk to you. Is it like a wife who gets beaten. Is it just that we don't understand how much God loves him. That whole thing sounds kind of sad to me)
