Your questions: Is the bartender into me? Should I date someone my bro likes?

So I did a spontaneous show tonight, which I’m calling an ARIYNBF bonus show, and it was really fun! It was probably more true to the actual experience of hanging out with your new best friend than Wednesday’s shows in that it was just you guys and me, talking about stuff.

A couple things came up which I’m still thinking about: Erratech wanted to know how best to ask our a bartender he’s taken a liking to. He claims making “sexy eyes” are her is not working for him. It sounds as if she’s making some indication of being maybe sorta interested but then everyone was pointing out that bartenders are paid to be friendly. Also, to pour drinks. Also, he ate a calamari salad, which has nothing to do with this except I fear calamari and also octopus. What advice would you have given him? Also Leo wanted to know whether he should go for a girl that he and his brother both like. He is 16 and his brother is 15. I told him it might not be worth it to do something that would upset his brother but many of my viewers disagreed. What do you think?I can’t wait to find out what happens in both cases!

I had a busy weekend

Look how weird this is! We’re both making the same expression! We’re expression twins! So anyway, I had a pretty packed weekend of talking about myself on the radio and on a podcast. You’re welcome, America. [UPDATE: I just agreed to be part of Fox Sports radio’s TV THEME SONG tournament for the next 5 weeks so cancel all your Saturday noon plans. DO IT. CANCEL THEM! Round 1 of the tournament is what you’ll hear if you click on the radio interview I linked to above.]


But as for this Jake Tuber podcast character pictured above, I forget how I heard of him but basically he started contacting me on Twitter and told me I’d been the inspiration for his starting his own Ustream show and I asked my assistants to get rid of him but then I realized I didn’t have assistants and then I agreed to let him interview me since it’s the least I can do, being his hero and all.

Also this weekend I went out with Koryn and we were sitting there and she said, in a general effort to get me to be more social, “You spend so much time on your hair, don’t you want people to see it?” And honestly what I was thinking was that I really don’t spend SOOOOO much time on my hair. Anymore.

And then last night Dustin and I got our asses handed to us at pub trivia which was just so much BS.

Also, I think I’m going to do something magnificent soon where I live stream briefly every day of the week on a different live streaming site in an effort to test all the sites and also to give the people what they want: a heapload of me. So I’m compiling a list of the sites I should try. Let me know if you have any recommendations. And then tell everyone you know to follow me around the internet!

Also, you know how I’m trying to hook up an external monitor? I have this little flat screen TV which has an S video input and my MacBook has a mini DVI port so can I just go MINI DVI to DVI to S VIDEO? I realize some people may have already answered this but I’m confused about whether it will work.

Oh and lately I’ve been feeling a little like one of those sad blobs in the Prozac commercials which is possibly because my bday is coming up next month and I tend to get a little mopey around my bday every year which is very cliche, I know.

And RSVP for this week’s show and become a fan on FB! and follow me on DailyBooth even though I haven’t done much over there yet!

And have you pre-ordered a tshirt or a shoutout? Get on that! (you know, if you want)

An email I just sent about tomorrow's ARIYNBF

Hi! Just a reminder that I’m doing my show tomorrow at 10pm ET/7pm PT. My guests are Laura Leu and Adam Winer who have a website called Navigeaters where they’re eating a meal from every country in the world without leaving NYC. Mostly they’re eating disgusting stuff involving eyeballs. Also I have a couple new segments I’m unveiling including a preview of a soap opera we’re going to be acting out on the show. I play a cabbage saleswoman (or so I’ve been told by my friend who’s writing it).

It’s now occurring to  me that it’s pretty lazy of me to just be copying an email and putting it on this blog but that’s me: lazy. I hope it doesn’t affect cabbage sales! rsvp for the show!
And check out these reduced shoutout rates!
And look at all that hot fancy sidebar action to the right!
