A couple recent photos

Hanging out with Fred Armisen, being that person

Here I am with my new best friend, Fred Armisen. I meet all sorts of neat people now that I’m doing the show but I don’t usually take photos with them because I don’t want to be that person but on this night I decided to be. I should probably be that person more often, you know? (Note: That person meaning the person who takes photos with people, not the person who hangs out with people, which I so totally always am.) (Another note: I never am.)

And then here we are recording the podcast live at the Jon Lovitz comedy club. In the first photo I am keeping a respectful distance from Dr. Drew. In the second I’m keeping a respectful distance from Jeff Ross. The minute we got offstage I was all over them though. (Note: the minute we got offstage I actually went to the bathroom and then hung out with my parents)

So how was Dr. Drew you are likely wanting to know? He was really nice. Here’s what I think: Most performers you meet are probably more comfortable on stage or in front of a crowd than in social situations. Dr. Drew meanwhile seemed completely at ease just shaking hands with people and relating, probably because he is a doctor first, then a performer, whereas I am a performer first and then an astronaut. You know?

Special pre-Valentine's ARIYNBF on Sunday at 1pm

On Sunday at 1pm PT I will do a special pre-Valentine’s day ARIYNBF where I will mend your broken hearts or break your mended hearts and take your calls and talk about best and worst Valentine’s Day or maybe just Facts of Life and Family Ties. It could go either way.

Regardless, I’d like to know how you knew your significant other was “the one” (if you have a significant other) and I’ll read some brief responses on the show. So let me know in the comments, won’t you?

I love you.

Happy bday, Woofie (RIP)

Today would have been Woofie’s birthday. He was the black miniature poodle we had when I was growing up. Here he is as a puppy:

Here he is letting it all hang out:

And here he is by the dishwasher:

I’d already moved to New York when he died (he was 17) but for years when I’d come back to CA to visit my parents I would think I heard him running down the hall. I miss him.

But don’t be too sad because five years later my parents got this guy!

But maybe you need to see what he looked like as a puppy?

But wait there’s also:

It takes a village (to go to the bathroom)

Earlier today I had a very important lunch meeting, because I am very important, and I excused myself near the end of the meal to use the restroom where I encountered this:

For when you need a spotter

But that is not all! Across the way in the same stall was this:

And you also need someone to sit in judgment
