The Brent-meister General

"Does a struggling salesman start turning up on a bicycle? No, he turns up in a newer car - perception, yeah? They got to trust me - I’m taking these guys into battle, yeah? And I’m doing my own stapling."

Ahhh, painful to watch, but utterly compelling. Have you listened to any of his podcasts? Unfortunately you have to pay for them now, but the ones I've heard are inspired nonsense.

No, I haven't heard any of Ricky's podcasts (yet). I remember watching it in Ocha, and feeling horribly voyeuristic - guilty in fact - to see these characters in such dreadfully embarressing situations (its a show where if you have any shred of empathy, you'll be cringing for the people on screen). And yet, it is some of the most biting humour I've ever seen.

I thought I should mention, I just saw Domo-kun dancing on NHK. It wasn't you, was it?

No, it wasn't me, but its nice to know that Domo-kun is still out there.
