I was born in Payson, Arizona, a town proud of their rodeo and lax fuel emissions policies. Now I'm a comedian and writer in Los Angeles, a town with a tendency to loathe itself.

What is the What
Hey dude I am moving up to LA next month well Bev Hills but we should get together and talk about the old days man! It would be fun to do some skits with you!
Are you still here? Sorry if I blew it. Everything is handed in now and I can hang if you are around and about. And I have vacation next week - so I am free until I leave this weekend! Let me know what's good.
Hey man, thanks for the call the other day and making me reminisce on the HaHa days. Damn, that seems so long ago that I forced you and Ron to become friends with me.
