Well, it's 2015 and we're back. We just want to say thank you to all our fans for making 2014 a great year and thanks for coming back if you're listening to this show.

Forced is out of town right now, so I got to do this little cold open by myself, but it's okay. We got plenty of stuff to talk about.

Wanted to let you know that our store is going to be up in a few weeks hopefully. I got to talk to our guy over at web wizards, but we got hats in, we got decals in and t-shirts are on the way.

So we wanted to get that stuff out there if anybody was interested in helping us support the show, which so far has been an out of pocket endeavor.

That's for us now being here right now because he's on the road working. However, he was present for the interview that we're going to air tonight, which you're going to find out in just a little bit.

But before we go on to that, I did want to say that if you haven't already checked out some of our other web presents as besides astonishing legends.com, you might want to do it because we've got some really interesting stuff up there.

We have a Twitter account of course, which you can find just by searching for us on Twitter because I'd spell it out, but there's some vows missing because you only get so many characters there.

But there is also a Tumblr page, which is a lot of fun because we have stuff on the Tumblr page that I don't always cross post to Facebook or other places.

There's some neat stuff there from other paranormal bloggers and people who blog interesting things, crypto zoology and that kind of stuff.

So if you like our content, that's a good place to go and get more of it and see things that you're not going to see on our Facebook page or our regular homepage and that sort of thing.

Although we are trying to do blog entries on our main page every couple of days. It's weird coming back after Christmas. I don't know how many of you may have traveled for the holidays, but I find that when I get outside of the bubble that is my day-to-day life and go somewhere else and a lot of times it's home to the place that you grew up or you know, you're dealing with all these emotions and family and all kinds of things happening.

I know I drank a little too much in the holidays, but I think a lot of people do that. The long and short of it is that it's a strange experience. It's almost an out-of-body experience because you go away and get so far away from your home life and your patterns and your routines and you start to realize the things about it that you do like and a lot of the things that you don't like.

But when you come back and you slide back into that life that you had before you left, you kind of forget what it was like to be outside of it. And that's it's a weird thing. You know, when I think about it every time I go home, it's like, well, what if I just stayed here? What if I didn't go back to that life or what if I went back to a different life?

You know, I'd probably change a lot of things. I certainly wouldn't change my family and I certainly wouldn't change this show because I love it. Those are things that I have passion for. But there's other things that you know, you feel like you're in a rut about.

I got to say it's a strange experience, but nevertheless I'm back and force has been back already and gone back on the road for some work.

But tonight we're going to share with you an interview that we did with a friend of ours, Paula Pell. We actually did a little while ago, but we didn't get a chance to air until now and we hope you enjoy.

Welcome back to Estonishing Legends. I'm Scott Philbrook and this is Forest Burgers. Evil is unspectacular and always human and shares our bed and eats at our own table.

W.H. Auden from his poem Herman Melville.

Tonight's show is about crossing paths with evil.

This person has a very dark energy. There's just something there that is not right.

So tonight we're doing an interview with a long time friend of mine, Paula Pell. She's one of the most successful women comedy writers working today.

With 18 seasons as a senior writer at Saturday Night Live, a producer of 22 episodes of 30 Rock and a now successful screenwriter who's featured the nest with Amy Polar, Tina Fey and Maya Rudolph just wrapped shooting.
