Al sounds a lot like Alan

Al sounds a lot like Alan Alda to me. Great show.

    For a group called The Birthers, they certainly make a strong case for abortion.

    I just bought tickets for Jimmy's show at the Laughing Skull in Atlanta, I'm so freaking excited, I'm like a little girl; a fat, hairy little girl in boxer shorts.

    The Laughing Skull looks to be one of those comedy clubs the guys on the show are always talking about on the 'cast. The kind of club that "gets it." Like they don't waste time with the horrible food a lot of these places try to shovel down the gullets of tourists.

    Oh, also I wouldn't have know about it if I hadn't heard Jimmy give the plug on the podcast since it's not on Jimmy's calendar on his site. Not sure if he really maintains that site though so...

    Anyway here's the link for The Laughing Skull Lounge http://www.vortexcomedy.com/

    And here's Jimmy's schedule there:

    Just heard podcast with Al Madrigal asking how much Jon Stewart makes. According to the latest article in this week's TV Guide on salaries, he earns $14 million annually. Conan makes the same. Letterman: $32M. Leno: $30M. Jimmy Kimmel: $6M. SNL cast members get a starting salary of $7,500 per episode. Right now, Jimmy Fallon, Craig Ferguson, Stephen Colbert, Chelsea Handler and Carson Daly are combining their measly incomes to buy every issue available to start a bonfire. I hear Chuy makes the perfect voodoo doll. By that I mean, he's the right size.

    What happened to all the comments? Is there a queue sitting on some server waiting for Matt--or worse James Glavine--to click an approval button?

    Please stop playing the G. Gordon Liddy clip. He's a doddering old man who was not interesting when he was lucid. Playing his clip may accidentally give people the idea that what he says or thinks matters.

    I had never heard Al Madrigal before ep55. He's a funny guy and fit right in with the crew.
