Also, Larry preaches sympathy for a knife salesman who has lost his focus. Spoiler alert — it’s not pretty.
Then Larry admits to stepping out on his steady supermarket. And not just to broaden his kids’ horizons.
All stories guaranteed to be true.

Does it count as an “erratum” that Larry’s finger does not cover up the account # on the check?
lmcast
Nope. The number is airbrushed out. We might be crazy, but we’re not stupid. — Jeff

Thanks for correcting my erratum. Now I can relax and enjoy the show.

Speaking of supermarkets, I grew up on a military base and came to know them as commissaries. It took me a semester of college to learn most folks didn’t know what a commissary was.
“Making a run to the commissary, guys,” I’d say. “Need anything?”
“The what?”
“Commissary.”
“What the hell are you-”
“The food store, man!”
“You mean the supermarket?”

The title alone has given me enough laughter for this week. So as a bonus I still have the show to listen to tomorrow.

Liked your guest appearance on Maron’s podcast.

Larry, I loved your impression of a tungsten blade chopping on a butcher block. hyuk-hyuk-hyuk-hyuk-hyuk-hyuk-hyuk…

Larry,
I also had the occasion to be “up close and personal” with Leslie Nielsen and his extraordinary device.
I had the privilege of working with him on an episode of “Murder She Wrote” which we shot aboard the Queen Mary. Leslie was playing the captain of the cruise ship that the episode took place on, and he was regally resplendent in a crisp white uniform with gold trim. I found myself with him and about 4 other people (not connected with the show) riding in one of the Queen Mary’s elevators, when he deployed his machine. I had been aware of it’s existence from a guest shot he’d done on Tom Snyder’s old show, so I wasn’t completely surprised. However, what was so BRILLIANT about him is that he began to discreetly look around him with a subtly disgusted look on his face as if he was trying to determine who could possibly be responsible for such a gross breach of manners. It was a wonderful bit of underplaying … ending with him looking directly at ME with a subtle nod that indicated I was the most likely suspect.
Other people in the elevator were sure that he had picked the right culprit.
He did break the tension when we got off at our deck by giving one last extraordinary loud trumpeting
“Braaaatttt!” as he left the elevator.
I have always been amazed at how delicately and subtly he could indulge in that “lowest” form of humor.
Keep up the good work, Mr. Miller!

Great to see another Spartan join the crowd. Sparty on, Mr. Miller!

Wow, had to pull over today on the way to work. You almost had a highway death by laughter on your hands, pal. You MUST find this Leslie Nielson fart machine. I’m guessing he mastered a special pair of wood blocks or something.

Wow, imagine my surprise as I heard my name credited for being the “boy tenor” at the top of the show. I was on a long boring solo drive when I heard it, and couldn’t believe it. A few rewind and replays later, I was convinced, that was my name. And then to get such a large portion of the show dedicated to the check and my buddies getting signed up for the LMDS, that was cool! Hey, wait a minute… Did you just tell all my friends that I *paid* for a *free* podcast? Uhh ohh, I see a lot of mocking coming my way. Plus, my reputation as a cheapskate is now blown and I can see everyone lining up asking for a donation.
Thanks for a great show, and let us know how we can support what you are doing. (I heard from another podcast that the Amazon partnership somehow got banned in CA)

Thanks, Justin! Enjoy! The Amazon partnership is still on 100%. Thanks to you and everyone for your support.

I finally listened to your show, heard the Ralphs story, and now I think I have to be a listener. I don’t have time for this! Good job.
