I think when my mother died, it was such a - you know, a shock to the logic that I had been raised with.

I'm an eccentric, silly, observational guy, but I'm not gonna frighten off social conservatives.

I never went to church when I was in college, either.

Don't you expect a rainbow coming out of the tub of bacon strips at the end of the buffet line?

Steakhouses sort of have this old-school nature to them; they're like museums full of good food. It's fun hearing the waiter share his expertise on the different cuts of beef and how they're going to cut up your baked potato.

I've been doing stand-up for so long, I think 19 years, that I love topics I can also expand on. Once I identify a topic like, say, seafood, which is a big one right now, it's like there are different kinds of tangents I can go on to build a larger chunk.

I didn't choose to be the guy who talks about the mundane - it's just who I am and it's what kind of works for me.
