Senior Producer at Smartless Media, formerly Earwolf. Staying Alive/ClueLess/Bad Dates/Just Jack & Will/HDTGM/Get Played/Comedy Bang Bang/Video Archives/Unspooled. Character-wise, I’m kind of borderline shy/wild. I like to surf & turf, in that order.

We went with my mom to the lovely celeb cemetery in Westwood Village, some of my all-time favorites are taking their final naps there. But this is potentially the single greatest headstone of all time, my man.
My favorite Lizabeth role is the phenomenal but underseen Too Late For Tears (1949) in which she plays Jane Palmer, one of THE most brutal & cold-blooded femme fatales of the whole era, it’s an absolute gem.
Sorry, the drawstring came out of my hoodie in the dryer, so if you need me I’ll be painstakingly futzing it back in for the next 37 hours.
Was over by the Walk Of Fame today, which I’m not very often, found the great Lizabeth Scott’s star. She was one of the greatest of all time in the noir era, if allowed by the director she could handily blow Bogart or Burt off the screen, no sweat. We salute you, Lizabeth! 🫡
I’m not sure what this move is, but it does feel like some kind of breakthrough in our friendship haha.
There is maybe no email more pleasurable to receive in your mid-40s than “your King Crimson BluRay bundle has cleared customs.” Fuck yeah, it’s cleared customs.
I have watched that godforsaken clip of Cuomo saying “that’s what we call a disgraziato” about 150 times and it’s still funny. Partly funny because disgraziato means “unfortunate,” not “a disgrace,” and why do I know that and Andrew Cuomo doesn’t lolol.
Our new show launched today: I Need You Guys, with Jenny Slate, Gabe Liedman, & Max Silvestri! I helped format this, recorded the early eps, wrote all the music! Our first guest is John Mulaney! This show is lovely, it’s just really good friends being silly & vulnerable.

She does like to hang out. Very nearby, but all contact is to be at her SOLE initiation. Proximity is not an invitation to pet, head bonks are though.
We started out calling her Gronklin, which has become Grinklin and then Skrinklin. We’ll see where we end up haha. Her personality is very skrinkly.
The rescue cat and I have made friendly. She is very affectionate but also unbelievably skittish, name TBD but I think we should call her Flinch lol.
Classic 5, modern 13, which does suggest I have a type haha
RIP to the magnificent Samantha Eggar, a favorite actor in things like The Collector, The 7% Solution, The Lady In The Car With Glasses And A Gun, THE BROOD, oh my god The Brood. In addition to her talent and screen charisma, it is also worth noting that she was absolutely lush.
An actual note I just had to send to my mastering engineer about the record: “This sounds great! One thing though, the distorted voice of Jon Pertwee should actually be at the end of Track 16, not the beginning of Track 17” 😂
Oh my god, I just got my album back from the mastering engineer. At some point today I shall sequester myself away somewhere and listen to the whole thing and I am “skeleton leaping out of body” levels of excited about it.
An absolutely flawless filmed entertainment! What else, literally what else, could you even want a movie to contain?!
Your periodic reminder
as my spotify subscription has now expired, i pulled the plug on renewal and moved over to tidal! i’m liking it so far, it has like 95% of all my music, pays musicians double rate per stream, and it’s functionally the same
I just remembered I was having an extended dream in the form of a full documentary about Jack Nicholson’s career, but none of the movies were real, and I was also in some of them and Jack’s talking heads made it clear he was *not* a fan of my performances.
I told my gf I was going to “just close my eyes for a minute” at 5:30, and then it was 10:30 at night. It’s been quite a week, but I’m still surprised by this turn of events.
Hüsker Dü were my absolute favorite band as a teen, but even I would have to concede that the monolith of metallic-sheened pop that he crafted with Sugar is The Most Perfect Distillation™️ of Bob Mould’s art. He doesn’t have records better than Copper Blue, Beaster, or FU:EL because *nobody* does.
The next state should be called Big Guy, then you can say “I’m majoring in Art History at Big Guy State.”
Adele also “gamed the system” by having that record unavailable to stream for a few months, forcing physical sales. It’s called business, dweebs.
