Meet My Good Friend Megan
Meet My Good Friend
I met Megan over a shot of Fireball, and that decision colored the rest of our conversation. There are plenty of laughs in this talk that goes from pet moose to Drew Carey and makes a stop at a basketball game between 2 beer glasses and 2 shot glasses. We also make a wildly inaccurate prediction about the weekend's Ohio State Buckeyes game.

My good friend Estlin is a super interesting dude. He’s a big Bernie Sanders supporter and I met him after a Bernie rally in downtown Cleveland, but, unlike most Bernie fans, Estlin isn’t old enough to vote. At 14 years old he knows more about politics than I do about anything but 90s pop music. ...

Meet My Good Friend chris Pontius
Meet My Good Friend
A few guys from Jackass were in town to do a comedy show. I didn’t go to the show, but after it was over I went into the venue and they were chatting in the lobby with some fans. I stood off on the side debating my next move, and before I realized it all the fans had left. There I was in a room with Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Preston Lacy, Danger Ehren, Dave England and a few of their posse. I assumed that if I asked one of them for an interview I would be shut down immediately, but I decided just to go for it. I asked Chris Pontius and he said “Yeah” right away. ...
info_outlineYou lucky listeners get to meet two of my good friends for the price of one! Meet Dave and Aubrey, co-hosts of trivia night at The Happy Dog in Cleveland. I wandered in there just as they were wrapping up the game for the evening and they were gracious enough to sit down with me for a chat.
Most of the talk is about trivia. We discuss how they come up with the questions, themed rounds, tie breakers, and prizes. If you’ve ever been to a pub quiz you will surely enjoy this talk. If you’ve never been to a pub quiz, get to The Happy Dog on Monday night!
We also discuss Aubrey’s career organizing closets and garages for people. Her number one tip: get rid of your crap.
Dave talks about his band The Boys From the County Hell, which is a Pogues cover band. We also learn that Dave has very limited knowledge of how the internet works. What is Facebook? What is a website? Don’t ask Dave!
Be sure to listen all the way to the end because they ask a trivia question that you can figure out and email me the answer ([email protected]) to try to win a prize! It’s a contest! Yay!
Now it’s time to meet my good friends Dave and Aubrey.
