Oh shit RCH just blew a gasket!

Tess is the best. I believe she's also tried her hand at radio in San Francisco a little while ago which she was quite good at. I love love love this lady. Brainy and charismatic.

You wanna go, punk?

I like how he nonchalantly walks on his  way after he knocks 2 dudes out!
'no big deal, happens every day'  hahaha

Really makes me wonder what that was over if he thought only these two dudes were going to get at him. The first guy was clearly drunk with how he walked up, froze and practically begged the guy to knock him out. I have no idea what the second guy was trying to do. The guy throwing those punches has absolutely sick hand speed in both hands which doesn't come naturally.

Are you kidding? We've got to get you off Rick Steves, it's become a problem if you're missing movies like that.

The guy's balance doesn't look like he has a ton of training.
Hmm maybe its ok-could just be an uneven road.

[Rocky4228]

I assume this is exactly what happened in the movie?

[Borris_the_Spider]

Storms near art are getting heavier, send your best spidy thoughts, this guest is cool.

Indeed, to get that kind of ambidextrous hand speed, one must practice!

[Barfly]

i had a crush on Jodi for a while, i have seen every movie she made, Contact was ok, but Silence of the Lambs was better IMHO

[GuerrillaUnReal]

The guy's balance doesn't look like he has a ton of training.

Do you think he got lucky or do you think it's because he's drunk? I was greatly impressed he could throw like that with both his left  and right but you're probably right.

Tess is one of my girlfriend's fav authors. I know she'll wanna hear this show when it's available over in the podcast section.

Tess is warm, has lots of great anecdotes and a great rapport with Art. Just 20 minutes in and I'm already hooked.

Looking forward to hearing the full tale behind this Gravity debacle. Much respect for her backing down on suing just so she avoided having to sign an NDA.
