I'm unsettled on the score, haha
This is a bundle of so many things that I like and a few little nit picks
I enjoy Odenkirk's voice. So much so that I'm tempted to rate this a 5 to help the algorithm tip anything else Odenkirk might narrate my way.
Love the mix of biography and philosophical thought.
I loved hearing his admiration for comedy and his willingness to explore other things. Bob Odenkirk's is not one note and that makes me happy.
I appreciated the perspective of the skit writer as I more frequently hear from the stand up or essayist. I liked hearing about SNL, Odenkirk's sejour was not without unpleasantness but he takes lessons from his experience.
I also love Monty Python (looking for John Cleese's book Creativity)
Do I have the correct idea of who Andy Dick was? Eh after briefly double checking, I do have the correct idea. Comedians aren't always admiral people. I need to get over my bias — I also don't love Sarah Silverman but I don't need to in order to hear about Odenkirk's anecdotes.
I find it somewhat interesting the cohorts that celebrities, especially those with a comedic bent, form. So I like when the author names off other people and familiar things.
