Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Ari Shavir's skeptic tank. Today's sponsor

is Audible. Please visit audiblepodcast.com slash Ari for a free audiobook download.

That's right, I got a sponsor. Someone's going to pay me to talk into a microphone, which

I guess is what I already do. Oh, how are you? On today's episode, I talked to my friend

Neil Brennan. We, I couldn't really figure out what I want to talk to him about. It was

either going to be his weird black street cred that he's developed from writing with Dave

Chappelle over the years, and just, I guess, being a friend of the black community. I don't

really know how he's gotten it, so we're going to talk about that, or we're going to talk

about his views on relationships and women, or we were going to talk about directing, and

what that's like, and how you would even get into it, and how you, this is what we end

up talking about. I'll, you know, I'll relieve the tension. We're talking about directing.

And then we talked to all about how you get jobs, and how you, what do you do once you're

on a job? I don't know, it was really interesting. I've never met anyone who's actually directed

a real movie, and Neil Brennan has, so we talked all about that. It was really fun. If

you go to my website, www.arethegreat.com, there's a picture that he references at some point

in his podcast about Obama when he met him. And so I put a copy of that on there, and

then some goofy Photoshop's that fans do. Usually on Sunday nights when I'm editing these,

I realize I didn't take a picture. With whatever guest, I was supposed to take a picture

of, and so you guys have been cool enough. My Twitter followers have been cool enough to

Photoshop some junk when I, when I ask. So some of those are up there, and then whatever

else, usually a comedy set of the personal interviewer or whatever else is germane or relevant

to whatever discussion, whatever. My next storyteller show is December 7th at the Improv
