    i had no idea that Ken Tremendous of FireJoeMorgan.com fame was actually Michael Schur, a writer for the Office. though i don’t watch the show, i hear good things, so it shouldn’t surprise me that FJM is as good as it is.

    though i’m not a Dodgers fan and thus get to hear him but rarely, Scully is a pure joy to listen to. here’s hoping he doesn’t call it quits.
