It’s your pal Brody here, lying prone in a futon hunting and pecking on a 12-inch G4.
Looks like it may drizzle today in LA - I hope the Sepulveda Dam off the 405 doesn’t burst. (They should do more commercials there)
Hosting Comedy Death Ray on Tuesday at UCB Theater in LA!! - You want names and heat? - go to this link to satisfy your cravings.
It’s official, raining right now in the Valley of San Fernando. Quick, somebody pull weatherman Fritz Coleman outta of his afternoon improv class and get him on live for a NBC 4 Breaking News Moisture Report.
Updated my MySpace homepage. Hope to leave that alone for a while. My goal was structure, and this was achieved. Thanks to HTML code tweakers and my keen sense of style.
Taking this weekend off, need to study up and cram for online driving school.
Thank God, glad you asked. Our place was beginning to smell like the inside of a hijacked Indian Airlines DC-10. But we made it through, the nightmare is over.
By the way, Von’s grocery store has fantastic water pressure, and the bathroom at Rite Aid is top notch, limited scratchitti on the mirror.
Things on my mind, not myself, but that’s okay.
For sure, next Tuesday I’ll be hosting the hottest comedy show in town (Comedy Death Ray aka CDR) at Hollywood’s very own UCB Theater on Franklin.
Letterman, Aspen and VH-1 are just some of the credits I’m memorizing at this point.
…and it’s been raining! Some would call this ironic.
$3.75 worth of Arrowhead per flush, not kidding. We’re going on 72 hours with no fluids in our home. Because a pipe broke in the complex and the part won’t be ready til Monday? You HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING me. We’ve got old people and children in this gated facility! - Some of us pay community homeowner dues!!
Yesterday, I relieved myself under a patio. (yes, number two. CONDO # 2, you sick sob!) - it’s like Survivorman, gotta do what it takes to move on to the next day. It’s tough. I may call FEMA. You think I’m joking? Yesterday, brushed my teeth with pool water and flossed with a Metrocard!! Won’t even tell you what went on in the jacuzzi. Let’s just say it involved Noxema and eucalyptus.

Participated in the Tom Arnold Celebrity Roast last night in Beverly Hills. Mary Kate Olson, Anthony Kiedis, Bob Saget, Jason Bateman, Heidi Fleiss, Amanda Bynes, Keyshawn Johnson and lot’s of old people were on hand. All things considered, I did fine, so did Eddie Pepitone.
Bob Saget was running late. He was at home trying to TIVO reruns of Full House.
That was my opener, all downhill from there.
Real Estate Agents, Movie Execs, a professionally trained/auditioned actress and Heidi Fleiss got HUGE laughs.
I set the table and got the ball rolling.
Saget killed.
Kiedis, Bynes, Jason and Mary Kate all took off without saying a word, to me. Of course I was angling, who wouldn’t?
Yep, and it hurts. But seriously, congrats to those who moved on, good luck and all.
Damn you NBC! - I should be in that house!
Brody: fake bitter masking the real one
Okay, so I’m home in LA and the water is off. No warning, notes, nothing. I gotta shave and take vitamins! Our family condo is run by a slum lord, this never happened in the 80’s. Mommy wouldn’t allow it.
First the Peacock network says no to me, then this. What’s next? A hernia and lost filling?
*tonight I’m off the books
*tomorrow I table read, then Tom Arnold Celebrity Roast at night
*Sunday I’ll do the Ramada Inn on Vermont, Knitting Factory after that, then close with the Comedy Store
two nights of comedy = no check, but one free meal and the roast dvd
That’s where I is right now - Can’t you just see the Maple Frosted and Iced Coolatta? (visualize, meditate, whatever it takes) - eat your heart out Starbucks! - 39 bucks for wi-fi?? - free at D & D.
Take a moment for the late Kirby Puckett. And yes, I saw him play in person. Not to knock anyone, but are there any highlights other than Kirby’s catch and home run against the Braves from the 1991 World Series?
That’s all we’ve been seeing for the last 24 hours. Come on ESPN, give us something else, like a stolen base or a fine diving catch against KC in 89.
The Hills Have Eyes, this is Rated G, right? - looks funny, Pixar has done it again.
Gotta pitch on Sunday, but my elbow is killing me. This is where steroids, stimulants and Richard Simmons’ Sweating to the Oldies Vol. 2 come into play. I need to release the lactic acid nestled within my ligaments, bones and joints. Sounds gross? That’s why pitching is a man’s job.
See what you missed at the Comedy Store? - Fresh from booking a pilot with Breckin Meyer and star of his own Verizon Wireless commercial, Steve Rannazzisi got the late night crowd going, displaying rough around the edge toughness with the precision of a face painter.
That set the stage for me, somewhere around the 1:15am spot. Still about forty people in the crowd, we’ll take it. I did well, weaving in and out, generating chuckles, shifting gears and tapping the brakes.
Then I bring up the creator of Windy City Heat, Jimmy Kimmel’s close personal friend and the mastermind behind The Ding-Dong Show, Don Barris.
Don keeps me on stage and we rock out with drums, crazy faces and hard to follow, show stopping energy.
Magic happened in the OR (Original Room) this night, evoking memories of Sam Kinison, David Letterman and Robert Wuhl.
