The Comedic Personal Essay Universe is BACK

A recording from Michael Estrin and Alex Dobrenko`'s live video
5

This was a fun, wide-ranging conversation with my friend

. We talked about:

  • Letterman vs. Leno, and why comedy that bombs can be better than comedy that doesn’t.

  • The absurdity of my Substack bestseller badge.

  • My recent Waymo story.

  • A blue turn into bathroom humor that seemed to disappoint at least one person in the comments.

  • How Alex and I both suck at disappointing people, and why we’re supposed to get better at it.

  • Alex’s latest legal shenanigans, which are absolutely not legal.

  • The backlash to the backlash.

  • Phoning friends.

This was the first time I’ve ever done a Substack Live, and I gotta say, I’d like to do it again. So if you want to go Live, let me know!
