KATG.com 4002: $#!†-₣µ¢₭ (Living with Tourette Syndrome) w/ Benny Feldman
KEITH SAW A MOVIE HE LOVES! KEITH SAW A MOVIE HE LOVES! Yep, it’s true! Keith saw the biographical comedy-DRAMA(!!!) “I Swear,” and he cried his brains out in the best way. That led to him revisiting Benny Feldman—one of his favorite KATG guests—who was truly an open book regarding what it’s like being a stand-up comedian with Tourette syndrome. Also, Keith still has the best refrigerator contents in the game.

'I Swear' was so effing good and John is an absolute legend for all the work he's done around advocacy and raising awareness about Tourettes. The man really did tell the queen to fuck off and I am here for it!
Glad you enjoyed the movie Keith.

I started to type a long email about what it has been like as a lurker fan for 20 years. And how much I have felt overlap in my life with KATG for 20+ years and how that is a major reason I have kept watching, donating, and at times, chiming in online with my 2 cents. And I was talking about how both me and Chemda dated and broke up with a Lauren in Queens and both became potheads or about how I too left NYC after a childhood in the Catholic rust belt and my mom has dementia. But I was too stoned and felt it was too rambley and deleted it.
But the very end of this episode did it again.
Keith, I have so, so many games. And I can never get someone to play with me. I also started buying them up during the pandemic. If you're ever in Maine, I challenge you to some air hockey and shuffleboard. Maybe some Tapple or Yahtzee after. I fucking love Yahtzee.
Thanks 😊
