Yeah I didn't quite get that either. Basically a guy decides to eat at every place on Pico Boulevard and then the story goes loving nowhere.

GrandpaPants posted:Do I just not "get" David Sedaris or was his segment in the Deception episode kinda boring and meandering and not at all as hilarious as the audience thought it was? I was also kinda hoping for a better resolution to that busboy story than "I got paid crap and left," but it was a good look into a world I would (thankfully) never interact with personally, which is what This American Life does best. Huh, I actually liked both of those segments but didn't care at all for the story about the "Analyze This" guy.

Yeah I skipped the Jackson story after about 5-10 minutes. I would be happy to never have to listen to Sarah Vowell's loving voice ever again.

misdirectomy posted:My buddy produces a sketch comedy festival and I asked him once what the most played out, cliched premise he's seen while watching horrible audition tapes. He said it was the meta-dialogue sketch with things like "statement" "question?" and "witty comeback". TAL then played that exact bit as an example of some theatre group's ground-breaking concept: SHORT PLAYS. I didn't know people did that with horrible audition tapes, but Steven Soderbergh did it in 1996 with Schizopolis.
