Oh, hi there.

How are you?

Does this sound like sex stuff?

Hi, everybody.

Why?

Hey, it's me.

It's me, Paul F. Tompkins.

Behind me, Evan Schleather, playing the piano. And this is a little bonus for you.

This was recorded live at the San Francisco Sketch Fest earlier this year. And this is

embarrassing to say, but it was a tribute to me. That's right. I've had a great relationship

with SketchFest over the years and I have been there many, many years and I was approached by

the organizers last year asking if I would be excited slash mind if they did a tribute for me, or is that something

that you would hate?

And I said, that would be, of course, wonderful.

And I feel awful saying that that would be wonderful because, you know, it's hard to like

yourself.

Anyway, this was a really wonderful night, and it meant a lot to me.

And it features a lot of people that you know as special guests, and we have a lot of fun

conversations and interesting conversations.

It was just a really wonderful night, and they recorded it.

And when I found out they recorded, I thought, well, maybe people would be interested in hearing this.

And God, I hope I'm right.
