One of the hardest times I’ve ever laughed was during the Bob Saget Roast as ate it on purpose, gleefully digging in on a bit that the live audience wasn’t buying. Meanwhile, the other comics and myself were in tears and in awe of one of the funniest humans ever.

Aww man, not George. I grew up watching him, total old school charm, effortless comedic timing. Doing scenes with him was one of the highlights of my life, but getting to know him a little and making the legend laugh was even cooler. I’ll miss you, sir. RIP George Segal.

My 12 year old has a friend over. They are currently listening to Iron Maiden and playing Halo. I will be accepting my Father of the Year award in a “Who Farted?” T-shirt and an open bathrobe.

We’ve been comedy pals since grunge and dial up, me and the little fella would travel all over the west coast listening to mix tapes I made and making Steven Seagal jokes. Love these two hilarious humans with all of my Ice Troll heart. Fun to hang and watch them crush last night.

After 2 weeks of multiple health screens and asking everyone to quarantine, I surprised my closest inner circle with a trip to a private island where we could pretend things were normal just for a brief moment in time.

Fuck this timeline. Definition of gut punched. I feel like I just lost my cool uncle. My cool uncle that was also the best rock drummer to ever live. So sad there will never be Rush 50, still thought I’d see them one last time in Toronto doing a one off. RIP Neil Peart

If someone makes you have unwanted sex, it’s rape, right? So, what is it if someone makes you have an unwanted child? Asking for a friend(all women).

Hey Tacoma, totaled the family van last night. I’m still coming though, it’ll take more than flipping a car off an embankment and crawling through glass to keep me away from yelling about my genitals on a comedy stage. See you tonight if I make this flight. Oh yeah, buy .

There are hundreds of thousands of butterflies migrating through LA and the valley right now? Not on my watch, I’ll be on Ventura and Balboa with my shirt off handing out butterfly punches til I pass out.

Please excuse one more sappy tweet, but my Nor-Cal Social Worker Lifelong Democrat Single Mom would be so ecstatic about Kamala and Joe right now. Sorry you missed this by ten months, mom.

Just cried in a cab in Omaha because my wife had to put our dog Ernie down without me. Now I’m heading to my hotel room to yell at the television like everyone else. Should be a fun show tonight.

Dammit. Again, people, I’m not, nor have I ever been Randy Quaid. I have papers. Look at the difference.

1st bad take: @thebrianposehn looks absolutely terrible here. 2nd bad take: Well, Northern border security clearly is a bigger issue than we'd been led to believe. twitter.com/CapAm9D/status…

Hey cops, next time you see a crazy white shooter, like tomorrow, can you pretend they’re a POC with a cell phone and light them up? We white people won’t care, I promise.

56 year old me: Dude, in 2022 there’s a WEREWOLF BY NIGHT movie on TV and it’s really fucking great. 12 year old me: No way. Cooool. How’d I get so fat?

Uber driver switched Van Halen to the Counting Crows and I laughed because it’s early. Now he turned off Rush and it’s like I’m on a prank show called “Lose Your Fucking Shit!” Gotta breathe.

I just rolled a natural 4:20. That’s when you’re smoking and you realize it’s 4:20 and you’re an unintentional cliche. And you’re a D&D nerd.

2/2 Fucking furious. She didn’t tell me because she didn’t want to cause a scene. Apparently a dude next to her on a flight when I wasn’t with her pulled the same shit. Dudes, just because you can watch porn everywhere now doesn’t mean you fucking should. Gross and clueless.

Dreams do come true. I wrote an episode of Rise Of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s got fighting, pizza and because I wrote it, a Mutant Rock band. Check it out on tomorrow morning. Watch it with your kid or your roommate Dave.

Plus do yourself a favor and pick up ‘s book. One of the funniest things I’ve ever read. I have only called a handful of funny people a genius, he was one of them. I love you, Norm. RIP, you delightful weirdo.

I am a crusty 55 year old nerd who became an Andrew Garfield fan two days ago. Man, it feels real good to love instead of hate, fellow crusty nerds. #3 is a magic number.

Fourth time watching NOBODY. I might rate it even higher than I did on my first viewing. Beyond the “Holy shit, my friend of thirty years is kicking all ass and having a blast”, it’s also a tight screenplay, well directed and full of great performances.And rules!

Also in the tax plan: Smiles are taxed. Mermaid fishing is legal. May 12th is now Mandatory Shoot A Puppy In Its Face Day. Oh, and Mitch McConnell scribbled "rainbows are assholes!" on a Chick Fil A napkin, so that's in there too.

I just came up with a joke that referenced John Wick 3 and A Dog’s Journey and instead of sharing it with all of you I’m just gonna quit comedy.

They are playing side one of Rush 2112 in the Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar at the Charlotte Airport and I’m kinda freaking out. I’m wondering how much they’re gonna play. How weird, it stopped at The Temples of Syrinx. Now I have to listen to 2112 on my iPod so I know how it ends.

Honest question, NYC/Brooklyn pals. I’m in Brooklyn right now. Rock bar that will play Rush all night while I drink most of their whiskey suggestions?

Want to feel young again? Smoke weed in front of a Radisson. When the dude reprimands you, I swear you’ll feel like you’re 15 for a whole minute.

Just lost an eBay bid by ten seconds for an action figure of The Dude. And now I just want to go back to bed. I think that’s what The Dude would do. It really would’ve tied my nerd cave together.

On Father’s Day my thoughts are really with all the families now separated by our fucking barbaric and heartless immigration policies. It’s heartbreaking.

In 1998 I booked a guest role on The Closer with this amazing cast. On tape night, I’m in the make up chair between Selleck and Asner. Ed ripped one. A loud one. Tom winced and said, “Jesus, Ed…”. I giggled. Later, Ed played a Nazi in a Sarah Silverman ep I wrote. I love you Ed.

I'm at KISS(packed Staples Center), and no shit, Paul Stanley just brought up the Coronavirus before he segued into "Dr. Love". "People are talking about sickness..." I blacked out for a second and then he said, "we all just need to call Dr. Love." We’re all gonna be okay, ya’ll.

My dad bribed my college by promising a new wing to the school, he also had Kurt Vonnegut help me with a paper and when I got injured, he helped my dive team win the championship. Oh wait, my dad died when I was two.

This dude says Impossible Burgers are part of an evil plot. Satanic burgers? Metal AF. I should’ve pitched this to @_Brendonsmall for Metalocalypse.

Rick Wiles is warning you not to eat an Impossible Burger because they are part of a satanic plot to change human DNA and "create a race of soulless creatures on this planet.”

I just made fart noises over everything Sarah Sanders just said in a press conference. Alone. For ten minutes. Then I remembered I’m over fifty and I hate politics.

Thinking about my metal brothers and sisters at the Morbid Angel, Skeletal Remains, Revocation show in Belvidere, Il. What a terrifying story. Be safe out there.

1/2 Went to Iron Maiden in Portland tonight with my family. My son sat between my wife and I. Dude next to my wife was obviously drunk and annoying, but there’s always “that dude” next to you. My wife just told me he was watching porn on his phone before the band and now I am...

Oh no, we’re fucked. Not the Wienermobile. By the way, “hot dog highway” is what I call my mouth.
Quote Tweet
We’ve made the difficult decision to cancel currently scheduled Wienermobile events for the near future. The health & safety of our fans, the Hotdoggers & the public is top priority. We look forward to getting back on the hot dog highway as soon as we can. Stay safe everyone 💛
