Want to know what sucks about work? It gets in the way of fun. Seriously, what a drag. During the day I usually have XM’s The System playing (you get free online streaming when you subscribe). Yesterday morning, don’t ask me why, but I started thinking about XM’s comedy stations and wondered if they ever played Dane Cook. So I went to look what was on and dammit if it wasn’t a Dane Cook special right then and there! Here’s where work becomes a drag: I couldn’t listen to it. He swears and that would be inappropriate and unprofessional to have that coming out of the speakers even though I have them low enough that you can’t hear anything unless you’re in my cubicle. Regardless, I wouldn’t feel right listening to something like that at work even if I had a pair of headphones. But man, that stinks. I have a feeling it’s the same stuff we heard at his show in April and since we missed a good portion thanks to the idiots who arrived late and couldn’t find their seats, I’d like to see/hear it again. Luckily he’s got an HBO 90-minute comedy special airing on September 4th. According to his website it’s 90% new material and some stuff hasn’t been heard anywhere (which I’m assuming also means Chicago). I can’t wait!
Oh and not that he reads this, but my condolences to Dane; he recently lost his mother to cancer.
I wouldn’t say it was 90%, but there were a few new bits that had me in tears. I can’t wait to see it on tv. I am curious as to whether I made it into the show – there were cameras in my face that made it really hard *not* to notice them.
Oh that would be cool. I will keep an eye for you for sure!
What they need is a sort of TiVo for XM and Sirius. So you can just set it to autorecord all the stuff you want and can transfer back and forth from your XM unit to your computer to whatever else.
