Boris Khaykin is a comedian and rapper living in Brooklyn, NY. This is his blog. http://www.hardcoreboris.com is his website and @HardcoreBoris is his twitter.
This throwback is on the font page of FunnyOrDie all of a sudden. It’s from 2010 and was initially an Atom.com exclusive, a site that no longer exists, and aired on Comedy Central’s Atom TV. My involvement is actually less minimal than it seems; I wrote/produced the music to this (with finishing touches, mix/master, by Andy Barlow) in addition to my singing of the hook.
It was cool to work with all these peeps (Rob Cantrell, Tom McCaffrey, Joe DeRosa, Hannibal Buress, Ted Alexandro, Dan Curry) since at the time I was but a year or so into stand up. I remember running out of work to film this during my lunch breaks. There’s definitely some embarrassing irony in me singing the “I’m a Headliner” part, but let’s just consider it foreshadowing?
Shows In Chicago This Weekend!
I’ll be in Chicago this Thursday through Monday doing a bunch of stand up shows, as well as playing with North Coast at the Chicago Improv Festival. Check out my calendar for the info if you’re in the area.
I’m pretty stoked to check out the city and eat that giant bean everyone talks about. TimeOut Chicago said some nice words about north coast here, and James Robilotta (Robo) from North Coast did an interview about our show in this blog.
I did Andy Rocco’s Here To Help podcast with Emmy Blotnick and producer John Robert Wilson. It was a great time and turned out seriously quite funny. I highly recommend giving this a listen!
Stephen Colbert Interviews Neil deGrasse Tyson.
This was pretty great. It’s long but I recommend at least:
18min - a bit about technology in food
35:10 - fun story about his issues with titanic, tho nothing mindblowing
46:20 - passionate and historical info on scientific discovery
49:45 - 2012 conspiracy theory and an asteroid that will be coming closer within earth’s orbit than any previous one during our time.
1:12:45 - great, if not novel argument on parenting
Just watch the whole thing though.

No way dude, they’re not even coming out in the shell. It’s like they already got cracked inside her and just got cooked from body heat or whatever. If you dont want the chicken thats cool but you havent eaten these eggs so you dont know.
Reply:
I don’t think you should be eating them. Lol its normal for a chicken to lay shelless eggs but for them to be cooked is just nasty.
You can now outsource raising your kids to the wonderful Sir John Lithgow. This is great, with only the smallest touch of creepy.
Interviewer: What piece of advice would you give to Stephen Fry, aged 10.
Stephen Fry: You’re not alone. Everything you feel is fine. Only feel guilty about things you have done that are mean and cheap and unkind. Don’t feel guilty about what you feel, no matter what the world might think. Everyone is scared inside, not just you. That’s why reading is so good. Keep doing it. Writers are people brave enough to make you feel better about being human because they’re not afraid to reveal their own frailties, weaknesses, desires, failures, and appetites.
I added the original link cuz the whole interview is stellar. Great Oscar Wilde quotes too. Stephen Fry is undoubtedly a world treasure.
I’m on Huffington Post for my Joe Paterno bit.
Activate appears to be a promising brand aside from their use of a
cheaper plastic bottle. Any water claiming to be of superior quality
should be contained in glass, crystal, or bone. I do respect their
simple label design, however; the bottle is covered and yet has a

I purchased this water at a rest stop somewhere along I-95 in Virginia. I’d been eating sunflower seeds throughout a road trip and ran out of the water I had brought along faster than anticipated.
The bottle, despite being of inferior plastic material, is pleasantly clear and large. Were…
