The heart of the matter with Russ McGarry.
Amazing to have new episodes up on back to back days. Love it, thanks!
That’s right, Russ McGary at second, the Shooter Jimmy Pardo at short stop and Michael Glen Schmidt covering third, the dream infield, Matt you got first?
is it me or does Russ Mcgary sound a lot like Scott Aukerman?
Comedy Kvetch?
I always love it when the Quad Cities come up.
Agree with Shahab SHAHID Russ sounds like Aukerman. Very much so
Show notes! Right here!

Nice show! I enjoy the shows when Jimmy talks to a friend from back-in-the-day.
I thought it WAS Scott Aukerman, until I realized he wasn’t making dong jokes.
Great guest! So we’ll see him again in season 18?
Excellent show. Jimmy said it right up front, but what made me fall in love with NNF was the ridiculous conversations between friends. This was a great return to form. I’ll take 10 Russ McGarry episodes over a Kevin Meaney visit any day (no disrespect to the hilarious McGarry)
Oh yeah, and since we’re talking about running, Jimmy’s recent running regiment got me back in the habit as well — including three trips to various DSWs, a Foot Locker, and some guy selling sneakers out of his trunk in Soho. Thanks for the positive example, Jimmy! I only run 2 miles a pop, too. No need for more than that.
Russ was a great guest! He gets it. I love hearing about Jimmy’s early days in comedy.
I don’t usually post here because I’m pretty happy with everything.
But Elliot – why do you have to text-comment every mistake you do? I wouldn’t even notice when a camera is out of focus or if you hit a wrong button. What I do notice though is a large block of text that distracts me from what is being said because I automatically read it. Just relax and let it happen.
Carrie;
I appreciate the support. I don’t point out every mistake, just the obvious ones.
Don’t want anyone to think that I’m falling asleep. Guarantee that for your one message, I would get ten “did you know that Matt was out of focus?” messages.
And that’s also what the prison gang told me. I did not love it.

Not through with 903 yet, but wanted to let Jimmy know that he was accidentally almost right about Iron Maiden. They have a song called “The Longest Day” from 2006.
When they talked about Foghat it wasn’t until they started singing “Slow ride” that I understood the bands name wasn’t Fog Hat but Foghat. Though “Fog Hat; odd name. Still I guess it sounds like something Pardo would listen to”. Anyway great ep you guys!
Is there a $10 fine for saying Foghat?
^^^I wish there was a “like” button so I could “like” Alex’s comment.^^^
Darryl sir, you are sooooo correct about that one.
Thirded on Alex’s comment, priceless.
If you guys like ‘Pawn Stars’ you might all like (with the exception of Mr. Pardo because of some of the gross factors) ‘Oddities’ on the Science Channel. It’s like ‘Pawn Stars’ but with more interesting shop owners and customers.
This all happens in a shop called Obscura in New York City that specializes in interesting and unusual items like straight jackets, old medical equipment, and preserved organs (to name a few).
Totally didn’t think it was going to be my cup of tea but the owners were on Conan about a month back and I fell in love. REALLY interesting stuff being bought and sold by REALLY interesting people.
@Alex only if you say “you’re a foghat”
Literally LOL’d at that, Alex.
so then LLOL’d?
This thread is on fire.
Wow, people actually listened to me?
Amazeballs.
Russ McGarry was awesome!
How’s that for descriptive?
I’ve been hosting comedy shows in the midwest for 13 + years. Russ was great when I worked with him.
Of the literally hundreds of comics I’ve seen and been around, I can count on one hand the number of guys I truly loathe.
Jimmy referenced the absolute worst of those in this episode. His act, his demeanor, his treatment of other comics, his treatment of women, his treatment of the staff – ALL awful.
Guess who it is?
I’m not going to say who it is, because, like all Jimmy Pardo fans, I am a gentleman.
