John on staying positive:
I’m so full of gratitude that I’m finally having fun. Because the last couple of years of my life, I’ve been through so much death. Losing people close to me takes a toll, and now I’m sort of a recovering cynic. I’ve burned out on bad stuff. I have to be positive. Having a kid is horrible in that regard because I can’t be a negative dick anymore.

“I love how David gives both sides of a story: profound and anti-found.” – Congressman Alan Grayson
“A podcast for folks who believe that strong political convictions and a sense of humor do not have to be mutually exclusive.” – Nathan Rabin, The AV Club
