Richard Jewell, Drake and Josh, Pizza Shops, Comedy Store, Mustache - Wednesday, December 4, 2019 4:59 PM

Your 3 things that I hope would uplift you this week:

  1. I got the opportunity to go watch RICHARD JEWELL tomorrow evening at the Pacific Theaters at the Grove at 7pm. If any of you are interested in going to this free pre-screening, hit me up at my cell (469-537-8826). Below is the Producers Guild email, copy-pasted.

  2. Drake and Josh sitcom theme song / Pumped Up Kicks --- song mash... here you go: https://youtu.be/tzwXFGssmzo

  3. Pizza shop calls pizza shop phone call fiasco: https://youtu.be/qFvMMyYgNU8

  4. MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY! Monday nights at the Comedy Store in Hollywood have a free, - FREE - show in the Original Room. Watch complete UNKNOWNS! score half-laughs and test new material on a stage next to SUNSEEETT! With the occasional guest star like Wanda Sykes, Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and more, you will be sure to have an AWESOME TIME! *2 drink minimum. BE THERE. Hit me up if you’re interested.

👉My current life happenings: Shaved my No-shave November beard into a mustache. So far, all compliments, one guy saying “You’re rocking that”, one girl saying “oooo” in a nice tone… and on the other end of that spectrum, one girl going “holy sh*t, you havin’ a mid-life crisis?” and one guy saying “you are an odd man”. Ah well, the end justifies the means as they say (or that one Machiavelli guy from 500 years ago). I went to The Comedy Store’s free Monday show and saw tons of uknowns and Wanda Sykes! That was really cool. Zoocrck is rehauled till January, so darn, but it will be back and better than ever. I really liked Knives Out, saw it Sunday, nine out of ten stars. Read Vladimir Nabokov based off of Safi Bahcall’s recommendation. I have rotting Thanksgiving food in my fridge… I need to clean it out TONIGHT.

Been listening to the book “Influence” by Robert Cialdini. Interesting. One compliance technique: right before you ask someone a request in which you desire them to say “yes”, ask them another question before your request that would always get a good answer aka a “yes”. E.g. “having a good day?”, “how’s the day going?”, for political agendas, “do you support road safety?”, “do you agree that American politics is divided?” Once they say “yes, good, I agree”, they are more receptive to be consistent and say “yes, I agree, good, yes I will buy your product or belief system”. It works.
