Check out some of the excerpts from his guide to college— I'll post them if I can find them, but there's a lot of warning the guys to be careful, that this whole "politically correct" environment means you have to actually "receive consent" from a woman. Not like the good old days.

So a psychiatrist named Tobia is studying the entertainment world, you say. Perhaps his dream is to become an actor?

I'm pretty sure anyone who believes in the coming apocalypse and the Second Coming is the kind of person who would meet Jesus and consider him a queer hippie ay-rab.

Well, I mean, that conception of God is prima facie fucked up and not one anybody should worship.

It seems unlikely that some of these women made accusations years ago as part of some conspiratorial long con. Also, shit, half the guy's output as a writer and comedian tells us he doesn't really believe in consent.

Yeah, my problem (well, one of them) with this kind of reaction is what it implies— and what I got from the Old Testament, frankly— that God is some sort of emotionally fragile, abusive husband type. "Don't make daddy mad, or it's all floods and earthquakes from here on out!"

"Kemp: 14-6" deserves a lot of love.

Well, it's not quite a mop, and it's not quite a puppet, but maaaaan… So, to answer your question, I don't know.

"Next year get me things I'M going to like, or don't get me anything at all."

Did Sean ever try biting off the bottle when it reached his mouth?

I just couldn't wait that long.

Here's a joke you might find funny: The Miami Dolphins hired Mike Tannenbaum to head their player personnel department.

I think much of the "hate" comes not even from the show itself, but from the fact that critics pounded on it relentlessly as being great and brave and groundbreaking, to the point of implying (if not outright stating) there was something wrong with the viewer, probably sexism, if we didn't like it. Or maybe that's

I'm very curious how True Detective season 2 turns out. I know a lot of people are skeptical that lightning can strike twice without the same actors and director, and I'm really hoping they're wrong.

I think this says a lot about it: This show really, really resonates with TV-critic types of our current day and age. I mean, to the point where some of them (TVDW) took it as a personal mission to defend the show from any and all criticism by labeling any and all criticism sexist.
