Send us a textKatie and Bridget go to the Coco Bongo Club as they re-watch a very nostalgic movie: The Mask! Come along to Edge City (DON'T WORRY THIS MOVIE IS RATED PG!) where we meet Stanley Ipkiss, a grown man with stable income, a loving dog, and nice housing who is considered a "loser" because he "can't get a date"... Yup, what a loser! When he finds a mask floating in the city's toxic river he puts it on only to then transform into a chaotic cartoon character of a horny man. You thought that was crazy? Don't worry, we've also got the mob in this PG movie! Led by gangster Dorian who's out to rob banks, murder people, and possibly blow up his girlfriend Tina as well as his club (?). When Stanley's shenanigans get him wrapped up in all things felonies, it's up to The Mask (and arguably his dog Milo - who deserves a Dog-Oscar/Doscar) to save the day! Will Stanley be able to avoid jail time and get to make out with Tina? Is he also Cuban Pete, the king of the Rumba Beat!? Where he plays the maracas and goes Chick-Chicky-Boom Chick-Chicky-Boom!?! Released in 1994, it stars Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz, Peter Riegert, Peter Greene, Amy Yasbeck, and Richard Jeni.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV   First, it's the mid-90s and two startup networks are looking for programming.  A flavor of the month at the time was giving stand-up comics their own shows, see Seinfeld, Life with Louie, and Roseanne, and later The Drew Carey Show and Everybody Loves Raymond.  The new network was UPN and the comic was Richard Jeni, who took a concept from his stand-up show and loosely molded it into a Seinfeld-like TV show.   Then, after the last video game show (episode 201), we said it would be our last look at video games based on TV shows.  We lied!  We found nine more games worthy of covering for what we believe will truly be the final video game show we cover.  This time, we found some truly bad games from a variety of genres, from dramedy to animation to action shows.   Follow us at all our socials via our Linktree page at linktr.ee/itwasathingontv    Timestamps 0:10 - Episode 489 Cold Open (Peter Marshall Tribute) 1:26 - Platypus Man 34:22 - Episode 490 Cold Open (Phil Donahue Tribute) 34:53 - The Video Game Show Volume 4

Frank Murphy is joined by his friend Kathryn Frady of Marble City Opera, who suggests that we are now in the month of Knoxtober. Kathryn says she would wear a Frank & Friends fascinator if such a product existed.  The nice family across the street from Frank's house made scarecrow versions of themselves and put them in the front yard. Frank bought a Knox County School Coupon Book from one of the kids. Kathryn had random solicitors in Baton Rouge selling security systems.  Kathryn puts the school coupons she's most likely to use in her wallet right away. Kathryn suggests Frank could use a coupon to get a free kids meal because he's on Richard Jeni's “Joey Falco Diet Plan.”  Kathryn's smoke alarm started beeping at 5:30 a.m. She removed the battery but it kept beeping because it was also connected by wires. She was surprised to discover that other people were awake at that time. She felt like a tourist but Frank thought she said Taurus.  Frank and his wife Jere sat behind a woman named Ruth at a concert by the Amadeus Chamber Ensemble at the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. After making small talk about Northern Virginia before the show, Frank noticed Ruth was writing herself a note that recapped their conversation.  Frank transferred from LakeFM to FUN 105.9 to play ‘70s and ‘80s hits. The new format on 104.9 is ‘90s & 2000s throwbacks. Frank is on FUN 105.9 weekdays from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Listen online at https://www.fun1059.com/  This episode is sponsored by BoneZones.com (don't forget the S).

Due to technical difficulties Amy Winehouse episode is delayed. Will air at a later time. The Associated Press · Posted: Mar 12, 2007 9:04 AM EDT | Last Updated: March 12, 2007 Richard Jeni, a standup comedian who played to sold-out crowds, was a regular on The Tonight Show and appeared in movies, died of a gunshot wound in an apparent suicide, police said Sunday. Police found the comic alive but gravely injured in a West Hollywood home when they responded to a call Saturday morning from Jeni's girlfriend, Los Angeles police officer Norma Eisenman said. Eisenman said the caller told police: "My boyfriend shot himself in the face." Jeni, who according to police was 49 years old, died at a nearby hospital. Eisenman said suicide had not been officially confirmed and the investigation was continuing. An autopsy on Jeni was to be done Monday, said Lieut. Fred Corral from the investigation division of the coroner's office. Jeni regularly toured the United States with a standup act and had starred in several HBO comedy specials, most recently A Big Steaming Pile of Me during the 2005-06 season. Another HBO special, Platypus Man, won a Cable ACE award for best standup comedy special and formed the basis for Jeni's UPN sitcom of the same name, which ran for one season. Jeni's movie credits included The Mask, in which he played Jim Carrey's best friend, The Aristocrats, National Lampoon's Dad's Week Off and An Alan Smithee Film: Burn, Hollywood, Burn. He had guest appearances in the TV shows Everybody Hates Chris, Married: With Children and updated versions of the game shows Hollywood Squares and Match Game. Frazer Smith, a standup comedian who often opened for Jeni and the emcee at the Ice House, where Jeni often performed, said young comedians looked up to him. "He was probably one of the best standup comedians in the last 50 years," said Smith. "He had tons and tons of material. He was looked up to by all the young comedians, a total pro."

We get back to covering actual Worst Picture Winners with 1998's An Alan Smithee Film: Burn, Hollywood, Burn, winner at the 19th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards! You can tell how excited we were to talk about this one by how long we talk about whether Batman's a fascist in the opening. We break down what did and didn't work about the movie, marvel at how anyone could possible cast Harvey Weinstein in an on-screen role, dig into what went wrong with this film's bizarre soundtrack, lambast Joe Esterhaz's lazy writing while defending his Wookiee-like appearance, and try to grasp how a movie like this can be so bad that the director took an Alan Smithee credit himself unironically. We come up with film aliases for ourselves, Jack recounts a bathroom crime, and Joe struggles and fails to remember the title of Comedy Central's single-season adult animated series Kid Notorious about producer Robert Evans. Get comfy, enjoy the episode, and please let us know if you know anything about Michael Ovitz.

Tread Perilously's first Grab Bag month of 2023 takes a look at the original Night Court with an episode called "It's Just a Joke." When Dan's favorite comedian is hauled into court for obscenity by a headline-grabbing reverend, Harry sees it as an open-and-shut First Amendment case. But when the comedian -- Monte Potter, aka "The Potty Man" -- goads Harry into holding him for contempt, the judge begins to suspect there is more to this case than meets the eye. Will he be able to suss out the truth and discover the possibility of collusion? Meanwhile, Bull self-publishes his autobiography. Erik sets up the wrong microphone, proving his purchases for the studio were indeed correct. Gerd Shockley returns to prove there was no collusion. Wahl's Herring Candy also returns with a surprise twist. The pair prove to be comedy historians with references to Bill Hicks, Sam Kinison, Richard Jeni, Ray Combs, and more. The Manhattan night court turns out to be real. Memories of Night Court's original run on NBC are exchanged; Justin turns out to know a lot about it. Erik reveals his dislike of Linda Ronstadt. The real life equivalents of the plot's comedian and the reverend are explored and Tex-Mex haggis becomes a new delicacy.

Richard Jeni suffered from schizophrenia yet somehow owned a gun. A twenty four year old assistant coach, played in a junior varsity high school game, and the team forfeits entire season. UFO's don't care we exist, ghosts aren't real, and Stephen Hawkins never cheated on his wife.

For a movie as irreverent as this week's film, our conversation about it gets just as irreverent. But don't worry, we still think that this film is very relevant. The Mask is rated PG-13 and was released July 28, 1994. The movie features the talents of Jim Carry as Stanley Ipkiss, Cameron Diaz as Tina Carlyle, Peter Riegert as Lt. Mitch Kellaway, Peter Greene as Dorian, Richard Jeni as Charlie Schumaker, and Amy Yasbeck as Peggy Brandt. The bellow links are from the videos that where reference in the podcast.

A quick climb to the top, having success in a short amount of time other comics work decades to achieve being at the top of your game but none of it being able to overcome the disease called mental illness. Anther great gone before his time and the world left with the question what would he have gone on to do?

The Vault of Silliness has produced a tape labeled July 20th and 21st , 1996, though it was ‘Friday night,’ Norm was on at midnight so it’s Saturday morning the 21st. Now that I’ve bored you with that info let’s move on. I’ll call this episode, “Talk and Callers.” I found this a great example of a ‘regular’ Norm Show. No Dumb Birthday Game. Just talk and callers. Tom Howie is producing. We begin with Norm and I hanging out and talking about the 100th Anniversary of Revere Beach – The Nation’s First Public Beach. There are references to the first guest, Edward Maeder, who was the Director of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. The show comes full circle at the end when a caller talks about the guest as well. Unfortunately, the interview was not included here. Darn it! This is one of those times (and there’ll be many more) where I wish I had access to the WBZ logger tapes to comb through them and extract these interviews. Somehow, talk of Revere Beach and shoes leads to stand-up comedy and particularly a comedian whom Norm really enjoyed, the late Richard Jeni. Then we move on to water quality and back to Revere Beach where Norm recalls, with great detail, a life-changing experience he had there. You won’t want to miss that. Then we move on to Ruth (“Dave Maynard’s Ruth’). She and Norm discuss a variety of topics including the WBZ Farmstand, which was being held a week later than usual due to the party being planned for WBZ’s 75th Anniversary. And Norm discloses his secret energy booster he used in his boxing days that prepared him for 15 rounds of heavyweight battle. We also learn that for all the traveling Dave Maynard would do and advertise Norm Nathan, that’s right – Norm Nathan was heading up a cruise to Bermuda! Stay tuned to hear the commercial promo for that later in the program. Bob in Pennsylvania talks road construction history. We have a caller who’s owned a barbershop for 32 years in downtown Boston. The tape then moves to side B and later in the morning. The exuberant David from Weymouth with a great story. Lisa who’s interested and frustrated by computers. Norm tells a sweet story about visiting Italy. Anne from Lowell sings a song. Norm does some on-air editing of two news briefs. And Norm’s new best friend, Tom, wraps up the night with fun call. We close with a little news from Bill Lawrence on the ’96 Olympics. Commercials featured: WBZ Traffic on the 3’s Promo Lippincott Dental with a weird offer Majesty Cruise Lines and their Jazz and Blues Cruise to Bermuda with Norm! A TV Guide subscription spot with a bonus gift that may be too had to pass up! And speaking of passing…a commercial for the Cremation Society of Massachusetts. Did I make an ash of myself with that joke? Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that broadcasting is for casual, silly people and Norm is a very serious person who should not be in broadcasting.

A year later, he founded his own company (Apploff Entertainment, Inc), where he immediately created and executive produced “Don’t Forget the Lyrics!,” a primetime network musical game show series for FOX hosted by Wayne Brady, which was sold in syndication to over 95% of the country a few years later. In 2011, Apploff signed a “first-look” deal with Fremantle Media (“American Idol” and “America’s Got Talent”) where, for the next few years, he was commissioned to executive produce several shows, including the UK smash hit, “Take Me Out” for FOX in which George Lopez hosts.

Jeff Apploff started as a nationally touring stand-up comedian in 1990 and performed at comedy venues throughout the world with such notable comedians as Larry The Cable Guy, Bobby Slayton, Jackie Mason, Gilbert Gottfried, Dom Irrera, Bobcat Goldthwait, Carrot Top, Jim Breuer, and the late Richard Jeni, Mitch Hedburg, and Bill Hicks. He went on to create, produce, direct, and perform in the successful comedy tour, “The Disciples of Comedy” with several members of Sam Kinison’s “Outlaws of Comedy,” performing to sold-out audiences in theatres ranging from 2,500 to 3,800 seats. Apploff also negotiated several sponsorship contracts for the tour with numerous national advertisers including, Showtime, Budweiser, and Don King Productions.

In this episode of In Search of the Crystal Skull, Patricia and Arun discuss about the 1994 The Mask based on the Dark Horse comic book series of the same name starring Jim Carrrey, Cameron Diaz, Peter Greene, Peter Riegart, Jim Doughan, Amy Yasbeck, Orestes Matacena, Ben Stein, and Richard Jeni. The story is about a man named Stanley Ipkiss who lives a mundane life working as a bank clerk in a city filled with crime called Edge City. When he found a mask by the bay, he learns that it was created by the Norse God Loki giving Stanley the trouble making, jokes spewing, and confident persona simply called The Mask. The Mask steals money from the bank that Stanley works on and flirts with the girlfriend of one of the members from the Mafia named Dorian Tyrell. Dorian finds out that The Mask is Stanley and tries to threaten him to give him the mask so that he could take over Edge City. Meanwhile, two police officers named Lt. Kellaway and Detective Doyle are searching for The Mask after robbing the bank and stealing all of the money. When the film premiered, it made $351 million dollars out of a $23 million dollar budget. It had received mixed reviews from critics with Roger Ebert stating that while Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz's performances were great and its goofy presentation worked, everything else missed the mark. Comic book fans disliked the movie due to changing the tone of being dark from the comics to a silly cartoon. It currently has a 77% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Since then, it has been beloved by people who grew up with the film mostly due to Jim Carrey's performance. The Mask had spun into an animated series, a sequel called Son of the Mask, and was the most prolific comic book movie of all time until 25 years later when Joker premiered. What do Patricia and Arun think of the film?

Dead dogs, aggressive dogs, downward dog, and hot dogs. This one’s plump and juicy.

Directed by Chuck Russell (based on the Dark Horse comic-book series) and starring Jim Carrey, Cameron Diaz, Peter Greene, Richard Jeni, Peter Riegert and Amy Yasbeck, The Mask was the fourth highest-grossing film of 1994 worldwide, and the most commercially and critically successful of Carrey’s 1994 films. The post The Mask (1994 Audience Choice) appeared first on Awesome Movie Year.

When Patton Oswalt, one of the top comedians over the past several decades, was going through the worst experiences of his life this past year, he wrote an entire post about one joke Gary Gulman made. ONE JOKE. Oswalt starts off: “This is…so perfect.” I like the pause in there. LIke there are no words so he had to notch himself down even though it doesn’t express exactly what he wants to say: … “so perfect”. He analyzes Gary’s joke and why it’s so difficult to do a joke like this (nobody sees how the sausage is made, they only see the final joke after years of perfecting). Patton closes with: “Thank you Gary Gulman. I know a lot of my shit’s gonna get angry these next four years, but it’s stuff like what Gary’s doing that reminds me I gotta make sure it’s funny first. Angry doesn’t change shit. Funny disarms the horde.” Gary is one of the best in the world. And no matter what area of life you want to improve in, studying in detail someone who is among the best, will up your game. It ups my game. I am infinitely frail. I fall apart at the slightest resistance. I sometimes can’t handle it. I sometimes can’t handle failing. I don’t always believe you learn from failure. But studying the best, makes my brain feel good. Like it’s being nourished. And that often gives me the strength to persist. For the past five months I’ve been going up on a stage 2-3 times a week and performing standup comedy in front of an audience. Often the other performers are people who were on the Colbert Show the night before. Or just released an hour-long Netflix special. So I have to up my game all the time. I want to be “one of them”. And I don’t want people in the audience to be able to tell that I’m different. Plus, I get scared to death. I am honestly so scared I am about to cry every time I am about to go on stage. Even if I’m going on stage to perform just five minutes of jokes. Five minutes is an eternity. What I realized, and will save for a future post, is that there are at least 20 or 30 (and probably much more) “micro-skills” that I could not have possibly imagined when trying to get better at standup comedy. I’ve been public speaking for 20 years. Is it that different? Yes. Which is why I had to have Gary Gulman on the podcast. One of the best in the world. I said above “five minutes is an eternity”. Gary told one joke on Conan in 2016 that lasted six minutes. One joke where (and I measured it) he gets laughs every ten to fifteen seconds throughout. He uses every skill in the comic’s toolbox. And probably many more that I haven’t been able to understand yet. I printed up the joke. I gave it to Gary. I said, “I want to analyze this joke word by word.” The first thing he said is, “This almost depresses me”. “How come?” “It took years to write this joke. And the others that I came out with around then. It’s so hard. Sometimes I can’t’ even get up because it’s so hard to do this.” What follows is one of my favorite podcasts. We cover his career, the techniques he learned and how he learned them. We cover the depression and anxiety and fear that goes into building any career out of excellence. We cover the micro-skills. No matter what you do in life, the one who masters all the master skills of your field of endeavor will be the one who rises to the top. How do you identify those skills? How do you master them? And we analyze this joke. To see the joke, Google: “Youtube Gary Gulman Conan States”. It’s his 7/13/16 performance. Watch it first. Here are some things I learned: Part A) DELIVERY 1. COMMITMENT The whole joke is about the states and how they were abbreviated. Gary walks out on stage, “I just wanted to recommend a documentary to everyone and then I’m going to go.” Everyone laughs. No one believes him. But he’s totally COMMITTED to the joke. In the podcast he says, “I’m bragging, really. Because I know I have something in my pocket that I’ve polished so frequently over the years. Years and years have gone into this one joke. And I know they haven’t seen it. It’s almost like I’m say, ‘Wait till you get a load of me.’” A lot of comedians just pander for a laugh, especially in the beginning. Yes, fart jokes work. But GREAT comedy is art. Gary’s worked hard and he’s know it. This transcends more than just jokes. People won’t always know that what you have to offer is valuable to them. Until you show it. That’s how Gary builds rapport with the audience. They sense the commitment. They are in for the ride. 2. BUILD UP CAPITAL Audiences are terrifying. And often they don’t know you. Might be a business audience in a meeting. Might be a reader. Might be a listener or a crowd. Or a comedy club audience. They have to like you. Johnny Carson has said that this is the most important skill for a comedian. Likeability. Watch Gary’s clip and see how he becomes naturally likeable to the audience. These are techniques that can be used in every situation. But it’s also how you build up capital so now you can take chances, propose ideas they have never heard of, build rapport with each person listening to you, and perform the magic trick of transmitting what you see in your head, into the heads of all the listeners. I didn’t realize this was such an important skill at first. Again, I have another post about this. But, for me, the results were disastrous when I didn’t realize how important this was. 3. MOVE Gary uses movement. It’s almost like he’s acting out the joke. He points to the sky, everyone’s eyes move up. They’re with him. They’re in the story. “I need to keep their attention during that time because it’s a lull,” he said. You can’t just tell your joke. Or tell your story. Or tell your idea. Ideas, jokes, stories are three dimensional. Gary takes his joke and turns it from a premise into a three dimensional world we are suddenly all living in. Part B) WRITING 4. OBSERVE THE ABSURD Throughout my entire life, I’ve been abbreviating states.  I’ve never thought, “Oh so many states start with the same two letters.” Who thinks of that? “What were you doing when you first thought of that?” I asked him. “I think the first time was when I was in 2nd grade and I got the arrow book of the states. I got it in 2nd grade but it must’ve been printed several years prior because the abbreviations was a new concept in this particular version of the Arrow Book of States. For whatever reason, I wanted to memorize the abbreviations. That’s when I noticed how difficult it was.” Thirty years later, he turned that difficulty into a joke. I notice this with comedians. They observe everything out of the ordinary. Seinfeld once said that a regular person goes into Bar Mitzvah and says, “nice buffett”. A comedian will go in and say, “why is there pork?” I’ve been working on a joke lately. The premise is that OJ Simpson made $2.7 million while he was in prison. The premise doesn’t have to be funny. Just quirky. The punchline can come after years of work. Not in my case but in the case of the best comedians, jokes, speakers, inventors. 5. PERSISTENCE AND DEPRESSION This is unique to Gary. He’s able to draw out jokes for 6 minutes. I asked how he’s going to get down to writing the next 6 minute bit. “It’s daunting,” he said. “How do you deal with the anxiety?” “I’ll say this, but it’s something that’s very personal to me. Hopefully it will help people. But I was in the hospital for a few nights because of my depression and anxiety. I was overwhelmed. It was a couple of months ago. I wasn’t suicidal. I just went to the emergency room and they admitted me and changed some medicines up, but it’s literally crippling.” “Did that help? The combination of medicine and them talking?” “Yeah…I’m in a better position now then I was then. I can function a little bit better and I’ve been able to get back on stage.” He said he had a fear of performing. Which was amazing to me because he’s so good at it. But I get it. I can’t go on stage without having a panic attack. And I know he’s been on stage 1000s of times. It’s hard. But once you say, “This is too hard”, that’s when you have to do it to get better. And improvement never ends. That’s why I wanted to learn from him. It’s easy for a comedian to tell crude jokes. Gary brings you into new territory. He told me that once he got a hold of the abbreviations joke, he held on. “I tried to strengthen it and lengthen it.” We kept dissecting. I wanted to get deeper into the toolkit. How did he make the joke stronger? 6. GO OFF ON TANGENTS He’s a few minutes into the joke. They’re talking about abbreviating the first state (Alabama). Alaska is next. But he had to take the audience away from the story. Or they’d lose interest. He sets the scene. The whole team of abbreviators is eating breakfast. And Gary says, “The omelette station had just been invented and was sweeping the nation.” “I’ve always felt uncomfortable with the omelette station,” he told me. I never thought about it before. Hidden truths surround us. Ghosts in a conversation. But saying them brings the discomfort into comfort. Makes the scary…funny. Or possible. Or gives us a new way of looking at things. “The omelette chef must hate us,” he said.  And in the joke Gary says they wanted to be a “chef chef.” Not an omelette chef. The tangent diverts your attention away from the main plot. He adds another about the people who call Hollandaise sauce “holiday sauce.” This has nothing to do with the joke. But it’s funny and adds depth to the story. And does it have to do with the joke..? Maybe! And then brings it back to abbreviations. Alaska is right after Alabama. Both are AL. That’s when the “crack team of abbreviators” realize they’re in trouble. “Did we already use AL?” 7. BE SPECIFIC In one of his first lines, Gary tells you the documentary is 98 minutes. Not 90, not an hour. It’s 98 minutes. “Why 98?” I said. It had to do with the number of syllables. And the exactness. Words don’t tell a story. Details tell a story. And it ends on a “t”. Gary knows from 20 years experience what consonants will elicit a bigger laugh. Micro-skills. 8. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MEMORY LOSS The crack squad of abbreviations is made up of “nayer do wells.” I didn’t even know what that meant. “I like to use language that you forgot you knew,” he said. 9. PUT LAUGH LINES TOGETHER Gary quoted the late Richard Jeni, who said, “What you’re trying to do is put together as many laugh lines as close together as possible.” You don’t have to wait long to laugh again when you watch his act. Gary does this too. He makes a small reference. “I want to say it was 1973… So I will.” And the whole crowd laughs. At first, I couldn’t figure out why I was laughing. “It’s a cliche,” Gary said. He uses a cliche to make fun of cliches. He makes you take a second look at some statement everyone says, but no one realizes they’re saying. 10. SUBTRACT SELF-KNOWLEDGE The joke gets more and more ridiculous with each line. But Gary looks almost clueless. He’s going on and on about this documentary, their struggles and challenges. It’s almost like he crosses this invisible line where he’s no longer aware. He becomes part of the story. And his comedy turns from joke to performance. Everyone in the audience begins to see there’s no real documentary. Except Gary. He subtracts self-knowledge which adds to the laughter. Because now people not only can’t believe how ridiculous this documentary’s premise is, but they can’t believe how ridiculous Gary is. Adding knowledge makes a hero. Subtracting knowledge makes comedy. James Bond can get shot in the heart, perform surgery on himself, and then get the bad guy. He’s a hero. If Woody Allen is shot in the heart then….even picturing it makes me laugh. 11. TAKE RISKS Gary makes jokes out of difficulties, adds specificity, tangents, cliches and so on. He has his tool kit. Each element has a purpose. And they all take him to the edge. “That’s one of the reasons I’m moving to Boston,” he said. “I can take more risks.” “What does it mean to take more risks?” I said. “Just to go on stage with material that is not as worked out as the one we went over today.” He wants to test his joke in front of audiences, then record it and tweak it. If you can’t take risks, you won’t hit the edge. You won’t go beyond it. Beyond the edge is peak performance. The area few, if any, hit.  Beyond the edge is success. Because people reward the ones who have mastered the risks beyond the edge. I always say I don’t like to hit “publish” on an article until I’m afraid of what people will think. That’s not quite true for this article. I’m proud to say Gary is one of the best there is. I’m happy I got a chance to take my absolute favorite joke and get the guy who told it to answer all my questions for an hour. I felt bad when Gary expressed his depression. His desire to continually improve and his fear of where that next improvement might come from. We’re all afraid. I wanted to tell him…sometimes when I feel that way, and I feel that way almost every day, I often know that something new is going to happen. Something that will push me forward. Afterwards, I felt bad I didn’t say that. I wanted to tell him how skilled he is. That he will push forward. But I didn’t say that either. I’m hitting publish here not because I’m afraid. But because I want everyone else to experience the pure joy I felt when I listened to this joke, listened to how he crafted it, and learned a bit more about how in any area of life I can strive to improve and be the best I can be.
