A^2 + B^2 = ABBA?

Expand full comment

I think that is not necessarily true!!! A^2 x B^2 = ABBA seems right to me?

Crap, you’re right. I guess there is no Swedish Pop Quadratic Equation 😭

Thank you for this. You’re so good at these. It was needed.

Is it weird to say that I still regularly lament the absence of new Make My Day episodes from my podcast feed? Oh well, I guess I'm weird. That podcast got me through some TIMES.

I'm so glad the podcast resonated with you!!! Hopefully I'll have something else cooking soon. :)

You know, I was thinking recently...I don't actually think refraining from comparing yourself to others is POSSIBLE in our society. All of life is set up so that you compare yourself to others!

Oh, and I just saw that Ask Amy consulted with you in her column from yesterday! https://www.washingtonpost.com/advice/2024/01/07/ask-amy-partner-mean-jokes/

I’m excited about Jami’s new book as a longtime 1,000 Words fan and now I’m even more excited to hear that you’re in it, Josh!

I also love this: “It’s good to clap.”

Josh. Have you ever (would you ever?) consider teaching some kind of online comedy writing workshop situation? If the answer to that is a firm no or a flaccid meh, do you have any recommendations for comedy writing workshops from your vast network of very funny friends? I'm willing to barter for this information. I feel like I must have some knowledge that might be of value to you. I can recommend a really great mustard I recently discovered?

Oh! Maybe sometime I'll do something like that! My friend Mike Lawrence has been doing something similar, and I believe his next one is tomorrow afternoon. He has the info in his Instagram stories!

You continue to be the best, thanks so much, Josh! And I really hope you'll do a workshop someday! Also, I'm a woman of my word, so if you're in the market for a classic mustard, check out Kelley's Gourmet Stone Ground Mustard. It won a world-wide mustard competition award (!) and while I'm not a mustard expert, I thought it was very good.
