Will you come back when you're done pooping?

Chris, thank you so much for doing an AMA. I had no idea you existed until I came across Angry Boys last year through HBO on Demand. I laughed myself to tears almost every episode. The way you tap into the emotions of the characters you create is astonishing. It’s hard to believe they don’t actually exist by the time I’m done watching an episode. Here’s my question:

Is your ability to portray your characters with such emotional commitment something you've learned through dedicated practice and study, or is it something you’re “born with”? (I tend to believe you have a special gift, there’s just something about your acting man…thanks again)

Are you worried about getting in trouble?

How have the men in your life handled what you do?

First of all, thank you guys for doing this AMA. My girlfriend and I saw you live in Minneapolis back in 2010 at a place called Triple Rock Social Club. We don’t see as many bands as we used too, but back then it was practically all we did. That being said, both of us are in agreement that watching you guys play live was by far the best concert experience we’ve ever had. When we got the tickets we had no idea it was at a place with a max capacity of 400. The energy in that place while you guys performed was unparalleled to anything else we had ever experienced. It felt like a private concert. Alexis was stage diving and even letting the front row fans (my girlfriend included) share the mic with her during some of the songs. When you guys were done it felt like everyone had backstage passes. Afterwards you talked with the fans, and Alexis even let me take a picture with her. I don’t know how she did it but that’s the happiest smile I’ve ever had, so thanks. I was so jacked after that show. It really felt like a once in a lifetime experience. Anyway, all of this was backstory for the following question(s). Answer any of them or none at all. I just hope you read this. Thanks again, and congrats on the iphone commercial!

-How come you guys played at such a small venue?

-How different does playing in front of 400 fans feel than playing in front of thousands?

-Alexis, how did you get the part in the nickelodeon magazine commercial you were in? (I read about it on pitchfork. If anyone is interested in checking it out, she’s the one who winks two thirds of a way into the video.)

Edit: That was pretty in depth but I'm not a stalker....I just took my Adderall to write a good question.
