Here is my question to you about being metal.

What is the most METAL thing you ever did that did not involve you playing an instrument?

Just imagine if you had told your Lutheran mother instead of your Jewish mother? That definitely wouldn't be as cool of a story. Guess you made the right choice then.

At least my Lutheran mother might have swallowed her feelings about it.

I never quite got over blaming them for dumping you for Frank Coniff. On the other hand during the Mike/Joel wars i’d always bring you up to completely derail the conversation.

They didn't dump me for Frank, they dumped me then fortunately got Frank.

I like Frank don’t get me wrong but I thought you were better. I think I was mad because they basically said they dumped you because you were a kid. :(

I appreciate your backing. The fact they were paying me like an intern who should be just grateful to be there instead of a full time writer and cast member playing 2 roles was an issue for me.

Man I loved your work in that show. That’s why I sent you that flash drive! You always played the perfect evil assistant! :)

Wait, I'm really confused. I'd only heard that you quit because you didn't like working for the Comedy Channel/Central (whatever they were called then) and their corporate structure. What's the real story?

jelvisweinstein.bsky.social•96 days ago

I like how that sounds, I'm hesitant to correct it.

I’m so sorry I opened up this can of worms please forgive me.
