Sorry to have been flaky lately, vacation and being sick have made it easy to forget.

Not posting a record today, instead I’m posting a link to an album I recorded with friends shortly after high school. Keyboards, cello, random percussion, and an electric banjo.

the division in America is no longer right/left, conservative/liberal, it's just straight up asshole/not asshole
Gutfeld: “We need to learn from the blacks. The way they were able to remove the power from the n-word word by using it. So from now on it’s: What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what's hanging, my Nazi?”

Kennedy: “Nazi, please!”

Gutfeld: “Thank God you did a hard ‘i’ there.”
