Hello everyone, big fun, sweaty important news before we get to today's program.

First, I have a new book out this week.

Los Angeles is hideous, Po poems about an ugly city.

I believe it is the funniest coffee table book ever written about Los Angeles

outside of the works of William Shakespeare.

If you enjoy my sense of humor and barely restrained rage,

and you'd like to encounter an entire book of me

ragging on the squalid city of Los Angeles, head to Amazon.com and look for Los Angeles is hideous.

Poems about an ugly city. And stick around after today's program and I'll read you one of my poems.

Next, we are going to have multiple orphan meetups

this summer.

There are presently two scheduled.

If you're in the area, please come by and tell me how awesome I am.

Or if you want to go to all of them

and follow me around the country like The Grateful Dead,

wearing tie-d-d-eye t-shirts and eating mushrooms. Terrific!

Either way, good opportunity to get to know each other and great opportunity to get some

solid alibis.

Saturday, July 31st, I will be in New York City where I will join the world smartest

podcast network, Turner Sparks Andrea Jones Roy and Michael Ira Kaplan, and we will all

perform stand-up comedy.

Possibly we'll record a live Friday release valve afterwards,
