I think of chile like the French think of champagne and Kentucky thinks of bourbon: the only real chile has to come from Hatch and be harvested in the fall. Otherwise, it’s just a cheap imitation. I feel you on the red sauce thing, it’s maddening.

Oh my god, yes! I moved to Utah (I know, I know) for work, and every single person I tell I’m from ABQ, they get all bright and go “Oh, Breaking Bad!” I’ve been back home a few times, and I always have to hit up Twisters and Cecelias.

I worked in hospitality for 6 years, and one of the most common complaints I would get from clueless guests is that Albuquerque is nothing like Phoenix. People get genuinely upset about that. New Mexicans are (generally) pretty open to diversity, though. Not a lot of African Americans, but a surprising amount of…

Northern NM is a whole nother world. I love Santa Fe, and my girlfriend is from Los Alamos (don’t love that so much). People still get weirded out when they find out the New Mexico isn’t all desert and dirt.

My hometown, Albuquerque, has been described (rather accurately) as a large bumpkin town. It occupies a lot of area, does not really have an appreciable city center or downtown, and is perpetually stuck in about 5 years in the past. The crime is sky high and the populace is generally poor, but I love it to death. I…

Another fun fact: Wallace wrote Ben-Hur while serving as the 10th territorial governor of my home state of New Mexico. He also served on the commission that prosecuted the Lincoln assassination conspirators.

Fantastic Patton Oswalt reference. That is all.

Somebody shitting on Ohio...cool take, brah.

Fat jokes: the last vestige of people who truly have nothing intelligent to say.

Once had a bunch of teenagers break into my hotel pool by using a faulty lock on the outside door, proceed to get high as kites, take a relaxing dip at 3am, then run into the lobby. The lobby is tilled, mind, and they are dripping wet, so one kid went sliding head first into our 6 foot pot. It shattered into about a…

Most everyone now knows it's scripted, just like any other form of entertainment on TV. I watch it for the insane athleticism and ring work. Others watch it for the story line, or mic work, or production value. It's a pretty broad form of entertainment, really.

I'm really surprised he didn't reminisce about the time he was hanging out with Lou Thesz and Chief Jay Strongbow when he discovered how great Daniel Bryan is.

Something something CANON! Something something "just create a new character, don't mess with the ones that I grew up with because....reasons!"

No joke. If a friend or family member asked me about my opinion if they wanted to end their life, I honestly don't think I could give them an answer that wouldn't change two seconds after I gave it.

I have nothing to add, but I assume you're quoting Raylan Givens, which is awesome.

Alright, that's pretty clever.

Oh god yes. I saw her at our ten year HS reunion, and she looks like an ugly Sideahow Bob.

When she told me, over the phone, she was pregnant, it wasn't mine, and she was marrying her new boyfriend that weekend. That was literally the only time I broke something out of anger.

I really imagine she has a big silk screen print with lions and crows and 40's in her study (or playa room, as she calls it).
