I was once a punk rock DIY comic that survived on tour by sleeping on the side of the road, eating cold breakfast sandwiches, and drinking bottled water. I’m still a comic, and I still do everything myself, but I’ve mostly quit the cold breakfast sandwiches and sleeping on the side-of-the-road bullshit.

Now in my mid-forties, I have leaned into my over-the-hill, constantly moderately tired, home depot dad years. I honestly caught myself admiring the sander my neighbour across the street had the other day, and I said to myself, “I fucking want that sander. Goddamn, Marvin has a deadly sander.”

This is my audio essay titled “Marvin’s Deadly Sander.”
