“It’s dangerous to get calm. You need some nerves to work from, it’s good energy. It’s not good to have no nerves. You’d fall asleep on stage.” – Bob Odenkirk
I am incredibly excited because this week’s guest is the first person I asked to be a guest on my podcast that did not yet exist, and still did not exist for quite a while after that! He was also the person who introduced me to podcasts when he recommended I check out this show called WTF and I guess he’s the reason we’re here today- he’s a neighbourhood chum, one of the nicest people I have ever met and very funny to boot! Welcome to the podcast Greg!
Check out the new song from Greg’s band Tokyo Police Club New Blues

My pick from Greg:
My TSA pat down assured me he'd ONLY be using the back of his hand – because nothing bad has EVER happened using the back of a man's hand…

hi Greg, long time reader first time commenter
1. how did TPC choose the tracks for the 10 Days, 10 Songs album? were they personal favourites or just random selections?

2. would you rather accidentally post a (tasteful) nude to your Facebook story and have your aunt message you saying something like “oh my someone’s all grown up
” or legally change your name Gleg (you can’t change it back)

Also don't just say "I'm not having kids" because that was not the question
