Soup: Greg Giraldo Interview →
michaelianblack:
Greg was a guy I knew from comedy. We hung out a few times, did a couple shows together. I was struck by his immense intelligence and good spirit. He died yesterday after an accidental prescription drug overdose. I’ve been upset about it since I found out: too many talented…

Mom: Why are we watching this game? You don't like the Cowboys or the Redskins.
David: Oh the Redskins are historically Dad's second favorite team.
Mom and Me: What!?? Why?!?
Dad: Just because they have the balls to keep their name.
