Interview
Interview w/ Brendon Small •Comedian, Writer/Co-Creator of “Home Movies”
SM: If we gave you a sackful of money and a pointy hat made of newspaper, how would you spend the rest of the day?
BS: Oh that’s easy. First I’d get a money stack organizer. Then I’d get my weener “taken care of”. After that I’d get calf implants in my pecs and vice versa. Then I’d exchange murders with a train stranger and finish the day with stabbing myself in the heart with my pointy hat.
SM: If you were a blues musician living in the Depression-era dust-bowl, what would be some of the titles of your songs?
BS: Oddly enough my senior thesis at music school was an odd collection of crappy pieces one was an instrumental blues tune called “Blue Honkey”. That’s a true story. Aren’t I great?
But here’s a list of depression era blues titles:
Blue Faggot
Double Ended Blues Dildo
I Got Murdered By A Jackoff Master On The Loose Blues
and finally
Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself Blues
