Hi Kumail! Love all of your work but I feel like I need to give a special shout-out to the Meltdown TV show, which is honestly the best standup showcase I've ever seen. So much comedy gets crammed into those 22 minutes, it's really amazing and I can't wait until the next season.

You were a part of the comedy scene in Chicago that ended up producing so many amazingly talented people (yourself, Pete Holmes, TJ Miller, Kyle Kinane, a million more names). Is there anything you can think of that was specific to that scene other than the people in it that nurtured so much great comedy?

Not a question, I just think you're both very funny and talented and great.

I was listening to the latest "U Talkin' U2 To Me?" (great ep) and realized for the first time that it's actually kind of remarkable that I listen to that podcast for 2 hours every week and have absolutely no interest in the supposed subject matter of the show (I'm not a huge Huey Lewis fan). How confident were you that that show was going to have any intrinsic entertainment value outside of the fairly small subset of people who would listen to it because they wanted to know the names of the members if U2 and the instruments they play?

P.S. I'm a huge comedy fan now and owe it all to Comedy Death-Ray Radio for introducing me to most of my favorite comedians. I started listening around the 1 year anniversary and still re-listen to a lot of the earlier episodes, so thanks sincerely for that.
