The Bitterest Pill: The Dan Klass Monologues

Summary: “Actor and comedian Dan Klass whines hilariously about his day-to-day life as a stay-at-home-dad in Los Angeles. His wife works and he’s supposed to be an actor but spends all his time doing laundry instead of going to auditions. Always funny, poignant and well observed, it’s an off-the-cuff improvisation about the joys of being a father and husband. And don’t just listen to one, take two and call us in the morning…it’s a show that grows on you, so ask for a repeat prescription.” - Radio Times Magazine “

After a bit of an extended hiatus (almost 3 years?), I am back with the usual nonsense about restroom phone etiquette, rabid raccoons, the Bitterest Pill connection to possibly the greatest movie ever made, my version of TikTok, and my expertise in installing smart thermostats…   “Dan vs. Rabid Raccoon” by Brahm Corstanje

 PILLBOX: The Wish Book | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 53:36

(Originally posted May 3, 2011) I saw Beck at the doctor’s office and Tara Ried at the meat counter. Apparently neither of them were invited to the big wedding across the pond.  Man, I haven’t seen this many people get this excited about breeding show dogs since, well, 1981.   Frankly, I thought the whole monarchy thing had run it’s course, until I saw Prince William/The Duke of Cambridge and his new (hot) bride driving around in an Aston Martin Volante with a “Learner” plate on the front.  Sweet move, Billy! I talked reality with my agent.  Honestly, if you’re trying to make it in show business, reality is the last thing you want to talk about. We started the odyssey of getting a new heating system put into the house.  We’ll see how that all turns out.  We had guys from a major American retailer come over to give us a quote.  We thought they’d never leave.  Eventually we signed on the dotted line.  Then, they started to get cranky.  Bad move.  Something they need to keep in mind: We don’t need the heater until October.  Mind your manners… My apologies to Tara Reid for not remembering she was Bunny Lebowski.

 PILLBOX: Science Fair | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:09:32

(Originally released April 21, 2011) Hudson and his friends took part in the LA County Science and Engineering Fair, and I chaperoned.  No, not my first choice of chaperone, but there you are.

 PILLBOX: Aloha, Birthday Girl | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 54:07

(Originally released on April 13, 2011) We were supposed to go to Hawaii again this year.  But, things can change.  Try explaining to your 8-year-old daughter that she won’t be spending her birthday in Maui after all.  Gulp. Luckily, we spent our spring break skateboarding, flying helicopters and watching Psych.  Now, that’s spring break…

 #377: What’s a Middle-Aged White Man to Do? | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:08:41

I drove to Arizona with my eyes closed and slept with my eyes open…

 #376: Somethin’s (Almost) Bruin | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 44:16

  I went to a football game. Well, two. I think. Jimmy drove us. I “talked” sports and drank a third of a beer. The song at the end of the episode is Autumn Leaves by Jimmy the Limo Driver, aka Big Time Small.

 #375: We’ll Have Time (Right?) | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 1:04:37

  I go to a wedding, I go to Michigan and I go back in time. It’s good to be back…
