Mike Sacks writes about comedy for The New Yorker, The New York Times and Vanity Fair to name a few but he also writes comedy himself. His latest book, Passing on the Right is written from the point of Skippy "Batty" Battison, a fictional right wing comedian, podcaster and satellite radio shock-jock whose takes are too hot for the mainstream, or so he believes, and who is so familiar I was sure he was based on an actual person (Sacks swears he is not). The book, like all of Sacks work, is hilarious. We talked about how his OCD helps him write, his daily routine, whether he has a chip on his shoulder, early aspirations, his unlikely path to interviewing, assholes in comedy, Alex Jones, confident morons, spices with no business in food and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and HGFY.
