DOWNLOAD If you didn’t know better, you might think that the brain of Patrick Stickles is just a huge pastiche of cultural signposts held together by duct tape – encompassing everything from Camus to Krusty.

DOWNLOAD Last time Kurt was on the show, we talked a lot about punk rock and TV. We hit on those subjects this time around, but the focus is more on his stand-up career and what it takes to decompartmentalize your life while on stage. Kurt also explains how a simple tweet eventually led to [...]
