Dan, I miss you on YouTube. Will you be returning? Am I just bad at finding your channel? Also, do you have a favourite pizza place?

I’m not one of those AGGRESSIVE East Coast pizza snob purists and I kind of find those people insufferable to be honest, but I do have the following two strong opinions:

1) Deep dish Chicago-style pizza is trash. I had it at one of the famous places you’re supposed to have it at in Chicago and it takes forever and is bad and wrong, and I am honestly not interested in learning more about it or taking any steps in the direction of changing my mind on this subject.

2) The best pizza in the world is in a place in Jersey that was called Mack and Manco’s when I was a child, but I recently learned that as of 2011 they changed the name to Manco and Manco’s following the suspicious disillusionment of the Mack and Manco relationship which may or may not be related to the current owner’s tax evasion crimes for which he is now serving a 15-month prison sentence. The pizza is very good.


As of now, I have no official plans of returning to YouTube and have been thoroughly enjoying not putting my face on the internet all the time. Things about making videos that I do not miss:

1) Wearing makeup, which always made my face itchy for the rest of the day.

2) Getting sweaty under the hot lights that exist on film sets.

3) All of the invasive touching. I don’t like being touched in general, and being in front of the camera means a very well-meaning and professional hair and make-up person gets right the fuck in your personal  space and stays there for a while. It also means a very well-meaning and professional sound person gets right the fuck in your personal space to run some wires and a microphone through your shirt for a while.

4) Holding for sound.
