Since I'm phasing out Twitter in favor of this much less toxic landscape, I just wanted to say, "Good luck, we're all counting on you." And as long as I'm here, I'll also remind you - or perhaps newly inform you - that I did the interviews for SURELY YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS: THE TRUE STORY OF AIRPLANE!
#NowPlaying - A virtual remake of a very old mix tape, expanded into a lengthier playlist that makes for a good soundtrack when I'm trying to work.

I think this Mega City Four ditty is the only song that's missing from the original track listing. Such a great tune.

Just wrapped up my interview with Pepe Serna for the podcast. What a fascinating guy. Stories about working with Gregory Peck, Al Pacino, Steve Martin, and his buddy Edward James Olmos, and many others. And when it comes to talking about acting, the guy could be a motivational speaker.

Just wrapped up an extremely entertaining conversation w/ Julie Klausner for "Letting Them Talk w/ Will Harris." Loved seeing the poster for the Monkees' HEAD in the background. Also glad I got the chance to praise her for her Kate Bush / Clarice Starling homage, "Silence," which is a tour de force.

Speaking of Richard, I haven’t shared this outside of my friend circle before, but today seems like a good day for it.
Earlier this year, Mike O’Malley was at an event & sent a video w/ someone who happened to be reading my AIRPLANE! book. A few minutes later, he sent a follow-up.
What a mensch.

#NowPlaying - Perry Como, 40 GREATEST
i’ve actually had this for a while, but I remembered it again when I re-watched the episode of THE MIDDLE when Brock wants to party with Axl at college and puts on Perry Como. (It’s like I’ve always said: the kids love the Perry Como.)

I anxiously await the reaction from Governor "Waltz."

Trump just dropped a video on TruthSocial that A) looks completely AI-created and B) has narration from him which is, if not wholly AI-created, certainly AI-tweaked to make it sound way better than he currently sounds or has sounded in many months.
