Fuck me and the horse I rode in on

I have to start by saying I am very sorry that i have not been able to keep up with the blog for the last few weeks/months. Having the third child has really cut into blogging/website stuff. The last four months i have been in dvd hell but i see the forest for the trees.

OCTOBER 1st Official Release Date: DEAD INSIDE

remember when i said that i was just going to put out a cd and that was quick and easy…god why dont I practice what I preach?

The new DVD will be almost three hrs long which is in line with my other two DVD’s.

Have I fallen farther down the rabbit hole….you will have to buy it to find out for yourself. What I can tell you is there are clips from my old act that any self respecting comic would have burned.

The xm show is going well and this week we will have jason rouse on the show. Jay and I go way back and it should be fun shooting the shit for an hour or two about the good old days and dirty comedy.

On a sad note: Robert Schimmel passed away from a car crash. For whatever reasons over the last few years when people talked about edgy comedy they always forgot to mention him which is very sad as he a great comic that deserved respect and hopefully he will garner more. One of the reasons why youtube is great. Go kill an hour and watch his clips..they are worth it.

Now most people will think i would hate him cause in the late 90’s I worked with him and he blew me off. Even then knew my act sucked. I didnt really hold it against him once I grew into a better comic that respected the artform more. Just for my dvd i had to watch hours of that footage and if i didnt have kids i would have put a gun in my mouth. Even then i knew he was that good and maybe i needed to be blown off the way he did it to make a point. In the past i have harboured a lot of ill will towards comics that have done that to me during that point but none of those comics were as good as Schimmel. Makes me wonder maybe that was a lot of misplaced anger in the end.

Maybe it was.
