Brian Pohsehn Rules!



This post could very well be called “I have the coolest wife in the world,” but that would just be bragging. Besides if she hears I said something like that, it will go to her head. Lucky for me she never reads this blog.

One afternoon I was checking The Fayetteville Flyer like I always do to get my know about the haps in town. What I read made me so excited I almost shat myself! I’m just kidding; I didn’t almost shit myself. So after I cleaned up, I read that one of my favorite comedians was going to be performing at my college alma mater that very night! How on earth did I not realize that Brian Posehn was going to be in town, and at my old school no less?

There was no time to beat myself up. I had to act fast. As a recently new parent, I just can’t go about making plans for a night out on the same day. Even though I was at work, I had to put that on hold for a while and make some stuff happen. I called my wife at 2 p.m. and we both hastily made calls for babysitters … but to no avail. About 4 o’clock my wife did the coolest thing ever –- she gave me permission to go while she stayed home with the kid. What a gal, huh?

Now she’s not the Posehn nut that I am, but she does enjoy stand up comedy and a good night out so it was a pretty selfless act. I owe her one, big time. So if ya’ll see me at the mall some weekend, holding my wife’s hand with one arm while carrying a bunch of sacks of shoes with the other, or at a movie starring Reese Witherspoon you’ll know why.

No matter what she has in store for me, it’s cool, cause as mentioned earlier, Posehn Rawks! I’d give a full review, but I wouldn’t do him justice. Also in the line up for the show was Hard N’ Phirm. Lotsa laughs, I highly recommend them too.

I only agreed to let you go without me because I knew you could recite the entire act, verbatim.
And I would prefer a night out at the piano bar instead of shoe shopping or a movie. And a sober chaffeur would be nice...free sleep-late pass...
