For bourbon, I tend to stick with Old Granddad bottled-in-bond. It’s a little rough, but I like it that way.

For Rye, my true love, I actually really like Wild Turkey’s offering and Bone Snapper.

For scotch, Laphroaig if I want to live that peat life. The Macallan if I want it casual.

Yes, I am seeing the basicness now that I’ve typed all that out.

It's goddamn indisputable.  Don't dispute it.

I feel like sending Mike an Indianapolis postcard would be about as interesting to him as my buying him an NRA membership.  Oooh, Indianapolis shot glass!

I mean Goot's fine and all, but how the fuck are you gonna do a movie with Ralph fucking Garman in it and THAT not come up on your podcast.

I won't speak out of turn about updates, as Teague hasn't decided to post anything yet, but I will say that everything I've heard today about Mike's condition has given me a little more hope.  Mike is a tough son of a bitch.

I know I said I was gonna get a dumb Hippogriff on my chest as my first tattoo.  I am now -seriously- reconsidering that.

I've been in the e-mail chain of updates, for which I am very grateful, and though there are many many replies at this point I've only been able to say one thing, to the effect of this being one of the times in my life that I deeply wish I weren't an atheist so I could pray to someone about this.  Beyond that, I've started several replies and never finished them, because I realized it wasn't the proper place to express my feelings, nor did I really have anything meaningful to say.

I'm going to say some things here instead of cluttering up that vital information source.  I don't want to come off as though I'm eulogizing the man, but I'm hurting right now and I just want to talk.

I disagree with Mike about a lot of things, and sometimes we've had heated arguments over them. I've found him to be occasionally rude, dismissive, and a bit haughty.  I also admire him more than almost anyone I've ever encountered in my life.  He's INCREDIBLY witty, talented, funny, and above all his brain works on a level entirely out of my understanding when it comes to the creative process.  I've listened to every episode of this podcast, from the start, and I don't think there's a single one I've listened to only once.  This place is called Friends In Your Head for a reason- I consider every guy on the show to be a real friend in my life, even if those friendships are entirely one sided.  I've been extremely fortunate to have been best friends with one of them and over time I think a couple of the other DIF (yeah I said it) regulars might call me a friend at this point as well.  Point is, I got to meet Mike for the first time during the Malariathon last year, and even though I also got to meet Eddie and Ryan and Miki and a bunch of other great folks for the first time that day too, I have to say that on the entire flight to California and walking into the room I really was most excited to get to hang out with Dorkman for the first time.

Mike's the reason I spent so much time on that goddamn couch.  I'd been up for like 40 hours by the time I got there, and I maneuvered my way on-mic for almost the whole damn thing because it meant getting to sit next to that guy and talk about a mutual interest for hours.  I mean it- I was thrilled to be there for a million reasons, and I love me some Potter, and I was grinning like an idiot just to be on the podcast- but the 100% honest reason I stayed awake for the entire thing and kept nudging my way towards a microphone was because I considered it one of the great opportunities of my life just to get to rap with that guy for a while.  If that makes me a creepy fanboy, fine.  The point is, I could not possibly hold Mike in a higher regard, and I'm gutted that something this objectively fucking unfair could and did just happen to him.

Whether I'm his friend or not, he's my friend, and while there are people hurting a whole hell of a lot more than me about this, I've felt like vomiting all day.  I wish I could end this with some kind of "get well buddy," but to be honest with you, WHEN he pulls through, I'm deleting this post so he doesn't know what a gigantic embarassing heart boner I have for him.  I just needed to say it.

Green Arrow's whole thing is that he's a super liberal.

That's why he dresses like Robin Hood and goes after corporations.

Agreed on all counts, Doc.

Dorian, don't worry.  He basically disappears from the movies until Deathly Hallows.

I looked around after 24 hours on mic at my friends, old and brand new, that I'd just done this insane thing with.  I'd been awake for 55 hours, and in that time I'd worked a full day at a factory, explored the secret conspiracy of Denver International Airport for 9 hours, and helped save the lives of hundreds of people by talking about Harry Potter for 24 hours.

So I said it-  "Seriously guys, this is the best thing I've ever done.  This was the best spent day of my life."

Thanks for not booing me off the mic, guys.  Thanks for everything.

I got laid for the first time in 2007, listened to Down in Front for the first time in 2009.  I can state without much hesitation that despite a two year head start and absolutely zero dry spells, I have absolutely spent more time listening to Down In Front than having sex.

The fact that I got to name the podcast is therefore a more mathematically significant event than when I get to name my first child.

When you do the first commentary with the new name, can you say it reeeeeally slowly?  Like maybe all four of you take turns saying it really slowly one after the other, then you all say it at once really loud?  And then maybe... maybe Trey says it in his Dinsawr voice?
