The Dork Forest

My guests are (who plays Jeff Barnes on Chuck) and my friend , standup comic and fan of mini-donkeys from Wisconsin. This is a morning edition of The Dork Forest; we’re all punchy because we’re comics, we weed off a LOT. Good times.

This is a walking dork expedition to in Seattle with Craig Holt. knew I would be fascinated. And so it came to pass. It might be loud, but it’s awesome.

 

Because of the guerilla nature of the taping, there is background noise and I would love your feedback. Do you like the dork expedition idea… it should be able to be done better with other equipment (Patrick had suggestions).

 

Notes:

(Oh… if it’s good to know, I want to know it)

– 1615?

(SCAA not SCAJ)

– and its retreat

I was going to end it there… and then… we just kept talking J

– where we had lunch. I’ve deleted us ordering. It was excellent.

- Silverlake coffee shop Craig likes. (there are some in other cities too).

  - West Hollywood coffee shop and restaurant. Fancy. Nice.

David Crowe knows about Nuclear power! .

Feel free to play the game where you try to hear the waitress’s political opinion in the background.

– too much info and, certainly not all of it

 

Okay – seriously, I could have kept recording Craig and Dave and, probably, eating, forever. But we’re at an hour. I’ll have him on again, because he’s fascinating. And not just about coffee. I sense untapped depths. I’d also like to have David talk about his copious number of hobbies and stand up.

This is the first LIVE Dork Forest. In Seattle, before a live audience, I talked with and . Ed is a multi-Eisner Award winning writer of many of the comic books I read. I dork out about HIM a bit and we talked movies and comics and politics and television. It was awesome. Kermet is a great comic (winner of the Great American Comedy Festival) and you should go watch him do it a lot.

writes for and I wasn’t too dorky about that. But I wanted to be. Instead I let him dork out about his freaking love of 3D and the Viewmaster and how it’s all come together for a live show that he does (here in LA March 16, 2011 downtown, details on the website). You can also just get a viewmaster and the “reels” on that website to enjoy in your own home. I learned stuff about cameras and the history of the Viewmaster. It’s a great ep.

My guests are Gariana Abeyta, projectionist at the ArcLight Cinema and the Silent Movie Theatre, (@garianaabeyta on twitter) and twitter monster Alison Agosti (@Just_Alison on twitter). This show is a little GRAPHIC. It is not Gariana’s fault. It’s Alison’s fault. And… my own. This is an admittedly weird ep. I kinda love it. Not even kinda.

 

BTW: THE DOORBELL RANG… at 5:35ish… you hear the doorbell ring, I say, “I never do this… I’m going to PAUSE the show” and then… I DIDN’T hit record again and it’s 20 minutes later when I realize. THEN... BONUS: you hear Patrick Brady with the explanation! He's GREAT. Let's all admit it. Also, In this ep, I prove again that I still don’t know who anyone is.

 

  – this is “the man’s” version (or you could see )

 

– sheriff (there’s “”) Yeah. It does look fantastic.

– streaming on Netflix

Placenta Hippie eating thing – I thought about linking it … you can Google if you want cuz it’s too graphic already. 15 min of taping… I pour coffee loud, Gariana stirs too loud. M. Night Shyamalan – is from India

and are my guests. They are really funny comics and have their own podcast .  This is, if I may say, another great episode MOSTLY about stand up. We all, really, say TOO much. Also, this was taped March 3rd… perhaps I am the only person who didn’t know who Snooki was or is and what #winning meant… but I feel somehow stronger because of it. I was reminded how to grow brussel sprouts this week. Would tiger blood be a good fertilizer?
