Hey Chris first off I just want to say thank you for being so brutally honest about your struggles with mental health and getting medicated. You personally inspired me to get help after struggling for almost 10 years by myself. Also I wanna say that you're my straight up hero just by the virtue of being a guy from North Jersey who does his own thing and refuses to shut the fuck up and that's literally how you make things happen. It's really amazing to see someone succeed with nothing but relentless hard work and brute force charisma. You've taught me alot about the world just by living that way.

Anyway, you gotta tell me - when you got into that police chase on 287 north - as related in your excellent book A Bad Idea I'm About To Do - which exit was it that you got off and managed to first evade the cop? Was it Bernardsville? I am like 75% sure it was Bernardsville, I literally used to drive that exit every single day of my life.

Okay well thanks. Psyched to see you tonight and at the Shea Stadium show on Sunday!

For anyone who's unaware, this is Chris Gethard. He's really funny and wrote a book, which I would highly recommend.

Here are some great books I've read recently by great standups.

Patton Oswalt - Zombie Spaceship Wasteland

Chris Gethard - A Bad Idea I'm About To Do

Mike Birbiglia - Sleepwalk With Me (My favorite of the three. Very well written. Couldn't put it down... immensely funny.)

Here's a few books I had to stop reading in public because they made me laugh so hard people gave me strange looks:

I Can Barely Take Care of Myself: Tales From a Happy Life Without Kids by Jen Kirkman

I Don't Care About Your Band: What I Learned from Indie Rockers, Trust Funders, Pornographers, Felons, Faux-Sensitive Hipsters, and Other Guys I've Dated by Julie Klausner

Tasteful Nudes: ...and Other Misguided Attempts at Personal Growth and Validation by Dave Hill
