Why is this not a major concern for the Department of Transportation?

I have decided to permanently retire the phrase "Worst. Apocalypse. Ever." because all the apocalypses are now crowding around asking me to hold their beers and honestly I only have so many hands, fellas.

Not sure if this was the point of the famous Dr. Suess story, but with todayโ€™s housing market, the Grinchโ€™s cave is looking preeeeeetty sweet right about now.

Barely into November and Iโ€™ve already lost Mariahgeddon.

Dang it, random popup ad, this was going to be my year.

I really don't get how each year for our entire lives, we can say, "I can't believe it's only 1 p.m.!" when the clocks roll back when 2 p.m. wasn't really that much later. Yet it still feels like HOURS.

Come on, circadian rhythm, we literally do this every single year get a grip on yourself.

Just had a conversation at Momโ€™s nursing home where the word โ€œhospiceโ€ was discussed and I am not okay.

Happy โ€œTesting Your Halloween Decorations To See If Their Batteries Still Work Because You Forgot To Take Them Out Last Yearโ€ Day to those who celebrate!

So, if someone can have a โ€œdry wit,โ€ it is also therefore possible to have a โ€œwet wit.โ€

I will not be taking questions at this time.

Donโ€™t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.

โ€ชSeรกn Ferrick is one of the kindest, most inclusive souls out there. (We haven't met, but any amount of time watching videos or listening to podcasts will tell you all you need to know), so to hear this breaks my heart.

To summarize: Fuck genocide, free the hostages, and free Palestine.

Just because it wasnt your experience doesnt mean it isn't real.

Today is a good day to scream into the Void. An emotional support being of infinite horrors will be with you shortly.

Your scream is very important to usssssssss.

Long shot of a bar, empty save for a single patron enjoying coffee, who happens to be Bigfoot. The title of the episode, "Highly Intuitive," hangs overhead.

Psst! Hey, you there! Don't look now, but a brand-new chapter of Monster World is slithering around your podcast feed as we speak!

This one is by far the most personal and challenging story we've told so far.

When a network lays off one of Americaโ€™s greatest satirists, itโ€™s not because he failed. Itโ€™s because he succeeded too loudly.

Okay. Things are bad. Let's start by breathing.

Slowly inhale...

Hold...

Now...release...

(If anyone knows what comes next, please let me know. I'm still working on getting past the breathing.)

These reviews are among the few things in the world today that still give me hope in the goodness of the world!

An accurate representation of my current enthusiasm level that today is my birthday. (Might need to tone down the ribbon a bit.)

Throwback to the time when clowns just started appearing out of nowhere.

โ€œSure, uncle Toph. Time to take your meds!โ€

Me, as Iโ€™m hauled away: โ€œDo do doobeedoobee do do be dooooโ€ฆโ€

We didnโ€™t listen. The clowns, man. They knew.

Honestly, I hate the stress of having a car. I need it because Ubers are expensive and there are no public transit options here, but ugh.

Oh, we're looking. Unfortunately, it's apparently one of those where the whole front end has to come out to get it installed?

Poverty sucks.
