Hey there, it's Ira.
A quick message before we start the show.
I'm coming to Los Angeles.
I'm going to be doing a show with Vic Michaelis.
And we announced this show a week ago.
It sold out so fast that we have now added a second show.
And basically the show is I tell stories on stage.
And then after every story, Vic and a crack team of incredibly funny comedians will improvise scenes.
We're doing it Friday night, October 9th, 9.30 p.m.
Is the Late Show at the Wilshire Ebell Theater.
And I just want to say we did a version of the show once at a small theater in New York,
and it was just completely thrilling watching these, like, brilliant, ingenious people at work.
They just killed.
It was so funny.
So most of the tickets for the show are just $25.
Grab them before this show sells out.
Tickets are at the easy-to-remember address, thisamericanlife.org slash tickets.
Again, thisamericanlife.org slash tickets.
Okay, here's today's episode.
A quick warning, there are curse words that are unbeeped in today's episode of the show.
