Welcome new followers! When I’m not pitching tv shows, producing audio fiction (The Black Tapes; The Big Loop; Marvels; and 2 coming in 2025) or writing books (You Suck, Sir), I’m at home with my wife and dog cooking unhealthy but satisfying meals and drinking too much wine and bourbon.
Binged Heated Rivalry with my wife and we thoroughly enjoyed it. She loved it so much she challenged me to get a “hockey butt.” So my 56-year-old Korean Canadian ass thanks Jacob Tierney and his team.

Quite simply the best book about Johnny Carson I have ever read (and I have read them all). Mark Malkoff has published a mini-masterpiece.
News to me: Peter Lawford was banned from the Tonight Show after he got Carson high on PCP!

Curling is probably the most gay sport in the world? The World #1 skip and defending world champion in men’s curling is gay. Skip of the #8 team is also gay. There’s a gay nationals in Canada and numerous gay leagues across the country.
TL;DR: curling BEEN gay. Hockey has work to do still

While I love that Korean Canadian artists have been having a moment, this has given my mother a whole new standard by which to judge me. 🇰🇷🇨🇦

My mother called to say “there’s podcasts on the big awards now on the tv” and if that means I’ll get an award one day. I had to explain it’s only for mostly celebrity chat shows and not audio drama. She is now angry at the big awards on the tv.

My dad used to be quite good at table tennis. I’ve started calling him Kimchi Supreme to the delight of my nephew and niece. He has no idea why but goes along with it.

Personally I do think it’s very cool when you spend 2 years working on a project about a sport you love and then some guy takes the transcripts of it to spit out an AI script for himself to read over a YouTube video for money. Thanks David!!!!!
Love seeing my friend @johncullen.bsky.social’s hard work on Broomgate get chewed up and shit out into some dickhead’s video essay for morons. But hey at least he linked to the podcast he stole in the description!

Tim Waltz just said he's activating the Minnesota National Guard to protect Minnesotans/demonstrators from ICE/CPB (but also not keep them from taking the bait.)

Was woken up early this morning by my dog licking her lips which means she’s nauseous. I got up in time to cup my hands and catch her puke before it landed on my wife.

My friend’s son is doing his A levels in London and he called me today for guidance on his essay cuz he remembered that the novel The Remains Of The Day is my fave. We talked about memory, regret, denial, reframing narratives and not to brag but I may not be a teacher any more but I’ve still got it.
