Who Comma Mike Jones

Norm's gone corporate?

Is this thing on? It's been quite some time since I've checked in on the forum. What bits are hot? What bits are not? Last time I was here there was a cat/patrick stewart thing going on. Remember? REMEMBER?!??

I thought about putting a funny joke in my financial report like "Midrollin' in the Dough!" but I realized that business is a very serious topic and I shouldn't mix business and comedy. Hope you guys liked this Weekly Financial Update by your man Who Comma Mike Jones! -W,MJ

Scripps paid $60 million for Midroll according to their financial statements! That's a lot of cash! Here's their description of Midroll: "Midroll Media [is] a company that creates original podcasts and operates a network that creates more than 200 shows, including 'StartUp' and 'Nerdist.'"

First first post, and I just want to say hi to the wife and kids. HI!

No pro version in weeks, and I'm starting to question why I got into this racket. If I can't strive for external validation to support my teetering self-worth, what do I have left? A big empty box of "I don't give a damns."

Most of the forum users are renegotiating their contracts too.

I'm a little disappointed that Scott brought his politics regarding when life begins to this show. This isn't the place to weigh in on stuff like that. As long as the cat is out of the bag though, I've long held that life begins at high school graduation. We need to adjust abortion policy accordingly.

Starship Enterpaws? Is that something? I spent 3 months working hard and all I came up with was the idea for the bit and the purrrrrrfect joke.

I have a confession to make. This has been a really tough week for me, so I couldn't face posting in the forum. Here's the deal: I've spent the last 3 months workshopping this bit where I'm pretending to be a cat from Star Trek named Catrick Stewart, and to my surprise I show up and see some other chump has stolen my life's work. All this effort that I had put in trying to craft some great jokes like "geimho. It was purrrrfect" was wasted. And this guy is knockin' it out of the park and I am confronting my failure. Anyway, that's my piece. Love and light.

Dear Paul, When you worked on I Love You, Beth Cooper, how did best boy rigging grip Julian Bosse's breath smell?

Also Bruce Springsteen is always in heavy rotation for me.

I'm listening to Mike Krol's new record that just came out today. Here is "Neighborhood Watch" from the album. I've also been listening to Time Bomb High School by Reigning Sound a lot lately. Here is a cover of "Stormy Weather" they do on the album. Also from Time Bomb High School, "Reptile Style"

I have to be careful about going on Reddit because I am deathly allergic to having my faith in humanity restored.
