0:00.0	Greetings to you, my friends. It's me, D. Trucelle, and this is the Dunker Trussell Family Hour podcast.
0:07.4	Now, today's guest is an acclaimed actor. He's been in the Fallout series. You must watch him
0:13.5	in the upcoming indie film Mermaid. He's a brilliantly funny, super unique comedian who I had the good fortune of coming up with
0:25.6	as a comic.
0:26.8	We've been friends for a long time.
0:29.1	You might have heard our podcast The Leather Rose.
0:32.2	It is beloved by many who love deep cuts.

1:37.8	I would be remiss if I did not announce these dates.
1:41.6	July 23rd, you can find him in Oklahoma City at Bricktown.
1:45.9	July 24th, he's going to be in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the Looney Bend.
