Wow. For having such an interesting guest on the show, that ep. was a real disappointment. Maybe leave behind-the-scenes and HR issues for an ep. where you don't have a guest on? I feel bad for Frank, he came onto a comedy podcast, and instead gets to be a fly on the wall for an employment negotiation discussion...fun stuff.

One of the main rules in any professional relationship is that you don't become friends if you want things to stay copacetic in the work place. Issues get muddy and then things get misconstrued and boundaries get crossed. I know its your guy's business and part of the attraction of that is that you don't have to be in a stuffy office, with a stuffy office environment. But there is a reason why that cliche exists. At this point its probably impossible to switch gears but if there is ever another intern... its worth a shot.

I feel like one benefit online insta-publishing has given us is that we now know what some books would look like if the people credited as the author actually were the ones who wrote them.

You know this is how we do: from time to time serious things come up that I feel need to be addressed whether we have a guest scheduled or not. I didn't feel this could wait a week. I was going to talk about it with Ted Alexandro the following day, but then on the show, since Frank was talking about BEING A GHOSTWRITER, it seemed to fit perfectly.

I know you know KATG, but I'll explain it anyway: The guest is joining our show. They can say something or not, but it's real and it's raw and it's personal, and some days deep shit is gonna happen. If the guest wants to be all squirmy, then that's on them. Look what show you asked to be on.

I would LOVE to be a guest on a show with this personal drama exploding around me, are you kidding?

How can this NOT be interesting? Maybe confrontation makes you uncomfortable.

You have a HUAR tattoo. You don't think those robots are are gonna be confrontational?

You like KATG cause it's real. Woman up.

I disagree. Keith and Chemda's willingness to talk so openly about issues (good or bad) in their lives has always been the most interesting part of this show.

I feel bad for danny. Sorry to say danny your going to have to move on to get any respect.

[CsisandDesist]

The surprising thing is that Danny expects respect when he starts a show talking about all the semen in his stomach....

[CsisandDesist]

OMG so frustrating to hear Danny after finally getting to a solution that he hmmm and haas about being called a Writer on the show...OMFG you panty assed..oh wait. Never mind.
