Day 53/-689: Friday, November 3, 2006: What’s Up, Docs?
November 5th, 2006
Russell and I met at a diner called California Vegan. I ate there reluctantly, as I don’t like vegans. I guess it’s because my people are Hindu and I don’t like the idea of anyone trying to one-up us on our holiness. It’s like we’re saying, “We don’t eat beef” and then they come along and are all like, “Oh, yeah??? Well, we won’t even drink her milk!” Hey, Hinduism is beautifully guilt-free – don’t change it! = )
Russell had a guy named Jigger with him – no, not Jay-Z. He’s a friend of his who is a filmmaker from Toronto. He had done a documentary on Russell in the early days and was filming a follow-up. For the first time, Russell and I got into a deep conversation about comedy – as much as we hang out, I “talk shop” with him rarely. In fact, I don’t do it a lot with my comedy friends, especially the ones who are pretty big. I figured they’re asked the same questions all day long so give it a rest. But this time we got into the topic. Jigger loved it and had us recreate it in the car, so it looks like I’ll be in the documentary!
Speaking of documentaries, Russell and I had decided to see Borat today – we couldn’t wait. Clayton, his brother and manager, and his financee, joined us. The movie is non-stop hilarity. It’s so OTT you’re just like “OMG, WTF, LOL” the whole time. Sasha is a genius.
After that, we basically just hung out for hours. I kind of tried to go home a few times, but Russell and Co. were like, “What better do you have to go do?” to which I really didn’t have an answer. I’m not always just a hang-out guy – I wanted to go home and get some stuff done and then come back out. But we hung out into the night, capping the day at Sushiya, Russell’s favorite sushi joint in town.
Oh, and I FINALLY recorded a podcast that I think is funny. It’s not up in iTunes yet but subscribe to the last one I did, which was just OK, and stay tuned for #3!

My old roommate dated this girl who was a vegan, and one day she walked up to my boyfriend-at-the-time and rubbed his leather jacket and condescendedly said, “Is that cow hide?” Then my boyfriend and I made fun of her for months and months for being a stupid bitch. Then after we broke up, those two started dating and moved to San Francisco together. I hate vegans!!
