Hi Mike here. Still not sure if/when I will resume this podcast... But for now, here's a clip of a stand-up set I performed last week at Fourth Wall in Hollywood, CA. It's a fun one. I hope things are going well on your end. Most importantly, I hope you're not dead. I don't plan on ever dying. I'm very anti-death and I don't care who knows it. If you want to watch the clip it's on YouTube https://youtu.be/msuKrcMc6qs Post

Hi This audio was recorded last year as part of a SPIN profile of Mr. Greer. Jim is one of my closest friends and we have a particular style of back and forth. Therefore, I wasn't sure if this would work as a podcast. Now i don't care. So, here it is. Enjoy.

Hi, how's your week going? That's good to hear. Anyway. Here's a little bonus content for this week - the pilot for a scripted comedy series I co-wrote with my buddy Matt Jones. It's called...well, you can see the title. The show was a spoof of action movies from the 80s, like Road House, which we basically ripped off for this episode. A lot of talented people lent your time and vocal cords for this, including Colton Dunn, Maribeth Monroe, Dave Hill, and others. "When can I hear more episodes? I love this!". We appreciate that, listener, but I can't answer that. This is just another of the many projects I've been associated with that went nowhere. That's showbiz, baby! I do hope you enjoy it.

Chris Norris is a journalist and screenwriter. Last year, Chris and I collaborated on a screenplay entitled JONATHAN TAYLOR SPIELBERG, based on an article Chris wrote for SPIN Magazine back in 2000.

Here is an interview I conducted with Luther Campbell of 2 Live Crew. It was originally done for SPIN Magazine, but they decided for one reason or another to not run the piece. Oh well...hope you enjoy this discussion of Luke's obscenity trial, the early days of hip-hop, and the current pro sports dilemma.

I audition to replace Ellen, the Post Office needs to be destroyed, and Mister Rogers was a serial killer. Not really. This is a comedy podcast.

This is it, folks. For real this time. Yeah...yeah...I know that this is the third go around for this podcast; that we break-up, reform again, do a reunion show years later, and then rebooted the show...BUT, this really is the end. We're retooling. Or might retool. No promises. Anyway, thanks for listening over the years. #mittsit2020
