#82: Death Cab for Cutthroat
I’m back, I think. Well, back and yet in the garage “studio” trying to fit a show in before the refrigerator turns back on. This time we talk about making out our will in Newport Beach, my future wife, waiting in line to see Pirates of the Caribbean and getting shot at in NYC.

I am a finalist in the Storytelling category for this year’s Podcast Peer Awards. If you’re a podcaster and a listener of the show, please consider stopping by there and voting for The Pill.
And, if you’re going to be at the Podcast and Portable Media Expo, please stop by the LA Podcasters booth, sponsored by iPong

Whooooohooooo! Just when I thought I was getting control of this addiction; A new pill arrives! Glad to have you back Dan! Can’t wait to listen to it (downloading as I’m writing this). Best of luck with the P.P.A nomintation, had I been a podcaster you’d have one more ballot in your box!…

Dan, you have my vote, sir.
September 8th, 2006 at 4:48 pm
Yay, awesome show. I loved the story about talking about your spouses’ future spouse. Been there….

Glad you’re back! You were certainly missed. Congrats on the nomination!

Great short lil’ show! Thanks for returning to the mic.
“Keira Knightley. Yum yum.” Laughed out loud.
I think you (Dan) would really like the Ocean’s Eleven & Ocean’s Twelve movies. The characters remind me of you.

I REALLY like Ocean’s Eleven, except for Don Cheadle’s British accent. Maybe I just can’t accept his voice with that accent. Or, maybe it’s the worse one I’ve heard since Dick Van Dyke in “Mary Poppins.”
I haven’t seen all of “12,” but it seems inferior.
I have seen all of “Bend it Like Beckham.” Fifty times.
Yum, yum.

Great show, I’m glad to see that the pill is back. I have to completely agree with you about the Pirates of the Carribean incident. I went and saw that movie and there were all these really young kids. I’m pretty sure my parents wouldn’t have taken me to see that movie at that age and I think that’s a good thing.

[...] Not on our show, but Dan Klass is back with a new episode of The Bitterest Pill and it was worth the wait. I’ve read so many book reviews where the reviewer has said s/he laughed out loud on the bus or train that I began to think either reviewers only read funny books on public transport or, more likely, they’ve only got one way of saying, “This is really funny”. That said: I laughed out loud at #82 on the bus this morning. It’s a classic. [...]

Great to hear from you Dan! I worship thee!

Glad to see the pill is back on the net. I’m burning a CD of both your podcast and Lance’s new podcast as I write this. I can’t wait for my drive to work tomorrow to listen!
Which one should I listen to first?

Re: the new, young, aspiring model bride
I’d say there’s a definite gender bias in that joke. Not only your wife and lawyer failed to see the humor, but my wife as well. I was excited at the opportunity to introduce her to The Pill, but, while I was laughing uncontrollably, I looked over at her and saw that I had erred. I’m afraid I didn’t find you a new listener, Dan. Maybe I should have started her with a different episode. But in my opinion: brilliant. I’m thrilled to have you back.

What a happy surprise in my iTunes to see you were back! Great show.
As for should you call her mom “mom” or “Kathy” (can’t remember her name) - take the cue from her. I work for my father and it totally freaks people out when I call him “Roger” instead of “dad.” Although, that being said, I don’t take it badly if they call him “your father.” It’s not like it is a secret!
I hope to meet you in California!

I’m so happy you’re back! Tim Coyne and his podcast helped with the wait but the two of you are back with new shows so its all good again. The story about the future wife was fantastic…so funny.
Thanks for the show, its great to have you back.
P.S. Have you thought of creating other designs for the shirts etc. Maybe the pill image from the header of the site? I’ll be getting one of the current models but if there was another I would go for it too.

Just wondering,,, would your new, youn aspiring actress, model wife have a twin sister?

I did a search for sites that might help me not feel so alone in my depression and hopelessness. This one came up so I figured I would comment. You know what they say, the older you get, the less you are invited to weddings, and the more you go to funerals. On that positive note, I invite you to come to my blog, http://lazyfathead.blogspot.com, and join me in my delightful spiral into death depression and nothingness.
Thanks for your time. Remain happy ?
