I must not have gotten to that one yet. I’m just bouncing back and forth to different episodes based on the guests.

The Norm special is fantastic.

The discussion afterwards was nice. Spade did seem kind of annoyed during the first half of it. There was no real reason for Molly Shannon to be there but she did give the impression that she was very close with him and seemed to know him very well.

Dave has a new special on Netflix. It’s not exactly comedy. I love Dave, but this felt like 40 minutes of self-congratulatory narcissism. I never thought the old white guy yelling at the clouds would be Dave Chappelle.

Damn, 8 years since we lost Robin Williams.

I love this pic Dave put out when he passed. Friends for 38yrs.
