Mike Sacks’ bizarre books and podcasts have drawn a cult following among celebrities from Jon Hamm to Bob Odenkirk. And if you don’t know his name, well, that’s entirely his fault.

If existence truly is s simulation and computer-based, I need Tech-Support to tweak depression and OCD and anxiety malware. You guys around? At lunch? Watching Syfy channel? Hello?

A little unorthodox, I suppose, but I just set up a first date with a woman I met on OKCupid. She's going to pick me up from my colonoscopy and we'll then hit a fun lunch spot. I should be pretty hungry!!!!

Wanted to come out with this news before it hit big: I am currently in an affair with my hair colorist.

Am I afraid of Sharia law in America? Yes. Far-right ultranationalist Christian Supreme Court guided Sharia law.

When the phone rang this morning, my mind of course went directly to: "Did I just win the Nobel Prize in Physics for Work in Quantum Mechanics that constitute the principles of the subatomic realm observable at a larger scale"?!!!!!

Your porn name is the combination of you having a shitty childhood and not many prospects in Hollywood

Kids on city streets don’t scare me. What scares the shit out of me are the bow-tied fucks with NRA lapel pins strolling through the marbled halls of Congress.
