 In typical TMD style, we get to the bottom of the hard hitting. Kate is downright hysterical.   Totally recommend after listening to #79, you watch her Comedy Central set on This is Not Happening and her 15 minute special  on Netflix’s “Comedy Lineup”.   if you don't laugh until you cry, you probably suck.

You'll  know Mark WEISSGUY Weiss from his iconic music photography which helped craft the visual imagery of rock and metal in the 1980s.  He is responsible for two of the era’s defining album covers, Bon Jovi’s Slippery When Wet and Twisted Sister’s Stay Hungry and we talked about it all. 

Rich Vos hates us, and that is the highest compliment we could have achieved and TMD loves Rich Vos.   We started out on the wrong foot by making Rich listen to our theme song, and we eased it back from there.   Rich is quite obviously one of the funniest people on the planet, and really a great guy for indulging us

I think the moral of the story is, kids, wake up for school on time, or your father may start an instagram account @latenotes for the sole purpose of embarrassing you to the point of no return.
