How Was Your Week: Episode 64
“Ep. 64: Library Water: Patton Oswalt, Retta”
Hello! This episode’s How Was Your Week is wonderful.
First of all, PATTON OSWALT, one of our favorite guests and friends, is back! This is always a treat. This week, Patton is here to discuss his Webbys hosting gig and how Internet Commenters have evolved from standard trolldom into conversational tangent-bringers, the importance of being comfortable with silences, and then—BAM! BOOM!—discusses two great Robin Williams movies at length: THE BIRDCAGE and WORLD’S GREATEST DAD.
Then, RETTA, who plays Donna on Parks & Recreation and is a hilarious standup, is here to talk to Julie about sexting, GIRLS, 9/11, French Guys, and why we are both worried about Ellis not returning to SMASH.
Also! Julie takes a trip to the Genius Bar and survives to tell the tale, her cat explores the “Say it with Urine” style of communication that is so very popular in that particular community, Anthony Bourdain says some crazy shit, Becky Ann Baker is awarded a well-deserved honor, and library water fountains are reconsidered in the bottled water age.
Hooray for this show!
Thanks for bearing with me as I change Tumblr overnight into “Your Dashboard full of pets next to Julie Klausner things,” but I am realizing I have an archive of these treasures in my inbox that I haven’t posted since Smiley passed, and publishing these is giving me a lot of joy.
This is “Spike the Elderly Pomeranian” listening to HWYW. Dexter Beasley from Colorado sent me this photo and I’m awfully glad he did.
OMG, Robert O’Neill’s cat is named Precious and she likes my book. I can’t even with this news.
This dog’s name is Omar and he is mighty. He belongs to the roommate of Stephanie Rudig, and I salute him.
Scones and Biscuits! A dog has crashed tonight’s blogapalooza! And WHAT a dog. Here is Luther the Cocker Spaniel listening to my podcast and wearing a bandanna. He belongs to Pearl Olsen and knows how to take a photo.
